A Takagi Sugeno fuzzy (TSF) modeling of an indirect hybrid solar-electrical dryer operated in forced convection (0.027 kg/s) was developed. The hybrid dryer was considered as a nonlinear and uncertain system where the operating point varies with weather conditions and airflow. The proposed TSF model was used to predict the drying temperature in no load conditions. Different experimental measurements were set up and used for evaluating the reliability of this model. At first and before applying this method to hybrid solar-electrical dryer, the TSF modeling was tested on solar mode and electrical mode where only one energy source was considered in each mode. The proposed model was experimentally validated in two main modes of the dryer operation: solar mode and electrical mode. The predicted behavior was closed to the experimental data with Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 2.34 and 2.21 in solar mode and electrical mode, respectively. The obtained predicted behavior confirms the pertinence of the identified model. The TSF model of the dryer leads to predict the drying temperature instantly with a huge reduction in simulation time in comparison with other modeling techniques. Thus, it is useful for synthesizing a control system of the drying parameters.
