This paper presents a combined model approach of Fuzzy Logic and Genetic Algorithm applied for non-linear behavioral compensation of Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR), for its improved performance (optimal variable output voltage). The optimized parametric compensation of SCR will be done by amalgamated algorithm of Fuzzy Logic Control and Genetic Algorithm. It is a shift from existing practice of Fuzzy Logic based control /compensation, as reported in the literature. In this work, a Fuzzy Logic based optimal control system has been developed for input voltage regulation of SCR, which is further optimized by Genetic Algorithm. The input voltage regulation of SCR is needed to meet the varying load current demand in various industrial applications of the device. The proposed scheme as presented in this paper leads to the optimal regulation of input voltage for SCR. The results have shown a remarkable reduction in the error which was otherwise existing in the device and its application circuit. The accuracy level at the output of the SCR after the implementation of the proposed amalgamated algorithm is ranging between 99.0 to 99.5%. It also suits the nonlinearly varying load current requirement for a given industrial system employing SCR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
