Internal model control - proportional integral derivative controller tuning for first order plus time delayed unstable systems using bacterial foraging algorithm

Design and Development of an Auto-Tuning Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller using Genetic Algorithm

The polymerization of resin adhesives, which is highly nonlinear, is chosen as a process control system. When phenol and formaldehyde are mixed, a sudden and unpredictable heat is produced due to an exothermic reaction, which could cause the deviation of process temperature and hence diminish the product quality. Hence, temperature control is necessary for exothermic batch reactor. The most com...

Tuning Fractional Order Proportional Integral Controllers for Time Delayed Systems with a Fractional Pole

First order plus time delay model is widely used to model systems with S-shaped reaction curve. Its generalized form is the use of a single fractional pole to replace the first order (singletime constant) model, which is believed to better characterize the reaction curve. Using time delayed system model with a fractional pole as the starting point, in this paper, designing fractional order cont...

Fault Tolerant Control Using Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller Tuned by Genetic Algorithm

Problem statement: The growing demand for reliability, maintainability and survivability in industrial processes has drawn significant research in fault detection and fault tolerant control domain. A fault is usually defined as an unexpected change in a system, such as component malfunction and variations in operating condition, which tends to degrade the overall system performance. The purpose...

Proportional-integral-plus (PIP) control of time delay systems

The paper shows that the digital proportional-integral-plus (PIP) controller formulated within the context of non-minimum state space (NMSS) control system design methodology is directly equivalent, under certain non-restrictive pole assignment conditions, to the equivalent digital Smith predictor (SP) control system for time delay systems. This allows SP controllers to be considered within the...
