Storage tank pressurization control method and system based on LNG filling station fuzzy self-adaptive PID control

The invention discloses a storage tank pressurization control method and system based on LNG gas station fuzzy self-adaptive PID control, and aims to solve the technical problems that a traditional pressurization control method of an LNG storage tank is low in control precision, poor in stability and rapid in equipment abrasion. According to the control method, dynamic compensation for the target pressure is introduced, so that the system can aim at a more accurate control target in the initial stage, the steady-state control deviation is reduced, and the control precision is improved. And static pressure head change disturbance caused by liquid level change is overcome through dynamic compensation, the adjusting burden of the controller is reduced, the controller can focus on processing other dynamic disturbance, and therefore the control process is more stable, and overshoot is smaller. Through the design of a dynamic compensation mechanism and a special fuzzy rule base, the system can automatically adapt to various complex working conditions, and fast, stable and overshoot-free pressure control is always kept. Therefore, frequent and large-amplitude action and surge phenomena of the valve are avoided, and the energy consumption of an executing mechanism is reduced.
