Abstract

In contemporary society, the growing emphasis on quality of life has underscored the importance of a reliable hot water supply. In this paper, we compare the performance of home water heaters controlled by traditional proportion integration differentiation (PID) methods with those controlled by fuzzy PID methods. For home water heaters, it is crucial to minimize heating time while ensuring that the temperature remains stable at the user-defined setpoint after heating. In this study, this paper first establishes a mathematical model of the domestic water heater. MATLAB/Simulink is then used to model and simulate both conventional PID control and fuzzy PID control. It is clear from comparing the simulation results that fuzzy PID control works better than classical PID control in terms of steady-state error, overshoot, and settling time. The temperature can be stabilized and the heating time reduced with fuzzy PID control. Consequently, fuzzy PID control better satisfies the performance requirements of domestic water heaters, making it more suitable for such applications.
