Abstract: Magnetic levitation system is inherently unstable and strongly nonlinear in nature. Fixed optimal gain controllers designed at some nominal operating conditions fail to provide the best control performance over a wide range of off-nominal operating conditions. In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy parameter scheduling scheme for Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) based optimal Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) and Lag-Lead controllers has been proposed to control a single actuator based DC Attraction type Levitation System (DCALS). A Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy inference system is used in the proposed controllers. The inference system is extremely well suited to the task of smoothly interpolating linear gains across the input space when a strongly non-linear DCALS moves around in its operating space. Simulation results show that both proposed adaptive fuzzy PID and Lag-Lead controllers offer better performance than fixed gain controllers at different operating conditions.
