Fuzzy-Fractional Modeling and Simulation of Electric Circuits using Extended He-Laplace-Carson Algorithm

Abstract In literature, most of the electric circuits are found to be at integer order, which are unable to capture the involved uncertainties and memory effects. To understand these effects, the current study is focused on modeling and analysis of fuzzy-fractional LC circuit, RC circuit, RL circuit, and RLC circuit. Triangular fuzzy numbers are utilized to introduce uncertainties in circuits. The memory effects are considered through fractional derivative in Caputo sense. A hybrid homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is established for solution purpose, in which standard HPM is combined with Laplace-Carson transformation in fuzzy-Caputo sense. This leads to an excellent and well-organized approach to calculate numerical solutions in the aspect of fuzzy logic and fractional calculus. The results obtained through proposed approach are validated by comparing them with already existing results in literature. Residual errors are also calculated across the domain of r at fractional order to determine the convergence and stability of electric circuit models. To study the dynamics of inductor, resistor, and capacitor on current along with fractional and fuzzy parameters involved in the electric circuits, contour and three-dimensional plots are constructed. Several plots specifying the fuzzy membership function of models across various parameter values are also demonstrated. The results achieved through this study indicate that He-Laplace-Carson method can assist engineers and researchers when dealing with electric circuits characterized by fuzzy and fractional dynamics.
