Abstract The paper presents a fuzzy intelligent approach for control of Micro Hydro Power Plant MHPP. The main idea of fuzzy intelligent approach is to combine expert knowledge with advanced control using fuzzy logic model. The aim of Intelligent The paper presents a fuzzy intelligent approach for control of Micro Hydro Power Plant MHPP. The main idea of fuzzy intelligent approach is to combine expert knowledge with advanced control using fuzzy logic model. The aim of Intelligent Control of MHPP application is twofold: firstly, to show improving of human machine interactions by system learning from operator’s expertise and secondly, to express an advanced technique associated with plant initialization and functioning in specific working conditions: initial tuning of system parameters, emerging situations, programable energy power production, ets. Two basic tasks are realized by fuzzy control: launching energy power generation and automatic goal tracing in uncertain, ambiguous defined conditions. Real sysytem implementation is based on advanced Beckhoff TwinCAT software system. References [1] http://www.fuzzytech.com/. [2] http://www.stowa-nn.ihe.nl/Applications_ANN_Fuzzy_Logic.htm. [3] R.
