Technical Report Summary
Experiments were done for two temperature setpoints, 55 deg C. and 75 deg. C. The edeX fuzzy controller outperformed the PID controller, and provided significant energy savings of 31% and 25% for the two setpoints of the test, when the power switch was ON-OFF.
When a linear power switch was used the PID performed better than it did in when the ON-OFF switch was used. However, for the same two setpoints, edeX fuzzy controller was still better than the PID, providing energy saving of 6% and 15% for the two setpoints respectively.
