Tuning fuzzy controller with genetic algorithm Tuning fuzzy controller with genetic algorithm Tuning fuzzy controller with genetic algorithm Fig. 19. PMV during temperature variation. Conclusions Important parameters that affect thermal comfort are cabin air temperature, relativehumidity, air velocity,environment radiation, activity level of passengers and clothing insulation. PMV index which combines the above parameters is used to indicate thermal comfort in cabin Conclusions The simplified PMV index is used as the feedback in fuzzy controller instead of temperature. Results indicate PMV controller better controls comfort than temperature controller. Genetic algorithm is next used to improve the performance of the fuzzy controller. Results indicate desired PMV is reached faster with the GA optimized controller. Genetic algorithm is next used to improve the performance of fuzzy controller. It is shown that after optimization controller reaches thermal comfort quicker while minimizing energy consumption. End Thank you
