This paper provides a comparative study on the performances of standard PID and adaptive PID controllers tested on travel angle of a 3-Degree-of-Freedom (3-DOF) Quanser bench-top helicopter. Quanser, a well-known manufacturer of educational bench-top helicopter has developed Proportional Integration Derivative (PID) controller with Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) for all travel, pitch and yaw ...

The purpose of introducing a combined cycle with gas turbine in power plants is to reduce losses of energy, by effectively using exhaust gases from the gas turbine to produce additional electricity or process. The efficiency of a combined power plant with the gas turbine increases, exceeding 50%, while the efficiency of traditional steam turbine plants is approximately 35% to 40%. Up to the pre...

A variety of control systems have been proposed for aircraft autopilot systems. Traditional approaches such as proportional controller and conventional PID (CPID) controller are widely used. PID controller has a good static performance especially for linear and time-invariant systems, but a weak dynamic performance and discouraging function on nonlinear, time-varying, and uncertain systems. Fuz...

Active magnetic levitation control system is an open-loop, unstable, complex, nonlinear and strong coupling control system, which can not achieve good control effect by using conventional PID controller. Therefore, the fractional order PID controller is used in active magnetic control system. The integer order of conventional PID controller is extended to fractional order range, thus there are ...

In this paper a new design method of a self-tuning PID controller is proposed. The PID controller is designed based on generalized predictive control (GPC) including a future reference trajectory. The PID controller given in this paper is based on GPC and, is I-PD type controller. It is shown that the design parameter adjusting the future reference trajectory changes only the integral time of t...

PID controller is the most widely used controller in industry for control applications due to its simple structure and easy parameter adjusting.But increase in complexity of control systems has introduced many modified PID controllers.The recent advancement in fractional order calculus has introduced fractional order PID controller and it has recieved a great attention for researchers.Fractiona...

This chapter presents the design, development and implementation of a novel proposed online-tuning Gain Scheduling Dynamic Neural PID (DNN-PID) Controller using neural network suitable for real-time manipulator control applications. The unique feature of the novel DNN-PID controller is that it has highly simple and dynamic self-organizing structure, fast online-tuning speed, good generalization...

As traditional PID controller has mature technique, it is applied widely. But the design of it depends on mathematical model of the controlled object. But the parameters of PID controller use engineering tuning method, it requires much time and effort and the parameters are only effect in a specific range. It is not suitable for complicated nonlinear and time-variable system. In recent year, pe...
