The purpose of this paper is to present a fuzzy based model reference adaptive controller for a waste heat recovery generation system using Power Turbine Generators (PTGs) on a shipboard grid system. The PTG system is a waste heat recovery type generation making use of exhaust gas from main shipboard diesel engines. Marine propulsion of the ship can be generated by means of main diesel engine. Onboard power management is one of the main issues in ships. For efficient management of onboard power supply PTG extract part of the exhaust gas from the main diesel engine. The speed control, however, is difficult to keep in place because of fouling conditions and propulsion speed variations across time. The Fuzzy based MRA controller for exhaust gas turbine of an Electric Shipboard Power System is designed. The performance of the speed is controlled. The proposed controller is evaluated and it is compared with the conventional controller and model reference adaptive controller by using MATLAB simulink.
