This paper suggests a fuzzy control algorithm which manipulates the quantity of gas in a gas storage tank to a given reference value. Fuzzy control rules proposed in this paper are divided into two groups. The first is to treat the quantity of gas in a gas storage tank, and the second is to manipulate the quantity in pipe which is utilized in moving gas from gas source to a gas storage tank. Fuzzy control rules to treat two control problems mentioned above are designed independently by investigating several special points having inherent features for given assumed possible response characteristics in the sense of common-sense and engineer's technical knowledge. In order to observe the validity of fuzzy control algorithm for manipulating the quantity of gas in a gas storage tank suggested in this paper, computer simulations are done for three cases, which the quantity of generated gas and the required quantity in load have time-varying patterns. Computer simulation results show that fuzzy control rules designed in this paper are well operated for every case.
