In this paper contend with the determination of offline, optimal proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller parameters of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) system using Adaptive Tabu Search (ATS) algorithm is presented. Parameter of this PID controller is obtained by minimizing the performance index such as integrated absolute error (IAE), the integral of squared error (ISE), and the ...

Random delays have serious effects in networked control systems, which deteriorate the performance and may even cause instability of the system. Hence a controller which can make the plant stable at large values of delay is always desirable in NCS systems. Our previous work on OFOPI controller showed that fractional order PI controllers have larger jitter margin (maximum value of delay for whic...

There is a growing interest in the modeling and control of model helicopters using nonlinear dynamic models and nonlinear control. Application of a new intelligent control approach called Brain Emotional Learning Based Intelligent Controller (BELBIC) to design autopilot for an autonomous helicopter is addressed in this paper. This controller is applied to a nonlinear model of a helicopter. This...

Abstract – The main objective of the combustion controller in a thermal power plant is to regulate fuel and air in proper ratio to maintain the desired steam pressure at the turbine inlet, irrespective of the changes in steam demand. To achieve a continuous supply of steam at the desired pressure conditions is difficult to cope with inherent time delay, nonlinearity due to uncertainty of the co...

A hybrid model is designed by combining the genetic algorithm (GA), radial basis function neural network (RBF-NN) and Sugeno fuzzy logic to determine the optimal parameters of a proportional-integralderivative (PID) controller. Our approach used the rule base of the Sugeno fuzzy system and fuzzy PID controller of the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) to improve the system sensitive response. Th...

A robust control scheme is proposed for the position control of the electrohydrostatic actuator (EHA) when considering hardware saturation, load disturbance, and lumped system uncertainties and nonlinearities. To reduce overshoot due to a saturation of electric motor and to realize robustness against load disturbance and lumped system uncertainties such as varying parameters and modeling error,...
