Control of a magnetic bearing device is addressed by parameter varying control. Within the structure of decentralized PID controllers we compare linear interpolation and switching strategies with and without hysteresis. Piecewise LPV decentralized PID controllers are found to be an interesting alternative. Our method exploits the possibility to pre-compute for every parameter value an H∞ optima...

ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on design of nonlinear power plant controller using immune based multiobjective fuzzy approach. The thermal power plant is typically regulated by the fuel flow rate, the spray flow rate, and the gas recirculation flow rate. However, Strictly maintaining the steam temperature can be difficult due to heating value variation to the fuel source, time delay changes in th...

The application of a self-organizing fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative (SOF-PID) controller to a multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear revolute-joint robot arm is studied in this paper. The SOF controller is a learning supervisory controller, making small changes to the values of the PID gains while the system is in operation. In effect, the SOF controller replaces an experienced...

In this paper, a modified local optimal control approach is proposed for multivariable systems. As for unknown plant dynamics, system identification must be performed to obtain a model based on which the local optimal controller is designed and implemented. The proposed method guarantee closed loop stability characteristic when dealing with non-minimum phase plant which is a considerable advant...

A Maglev system was modeled by the exact feedback linearization to achieve two same linear subsystems. The proportional-integral-differential controllers (PID) based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with four different inertia weights were then used to regulate both linear subsystems. These different inertia weights were Fixed Inertia Weight (FIW), Linear Descend Inertia Weight (L...

This paper illustrates the benefits of a self-tuning PID strategy applied to a proton exchange membrane fuel cell system. Controller parameters are updated on-line, at each sampling time, based on an instantaneous linearization of an artificial neural network model of the process and a General Minimum Variance control law. The self-tuning PID scheme allows managing nonlinear behaviors of the sy...

Damping of power system oscillations with the help of proposed optimal Proportional Integral Derivative Power System Stabilizer (PID-PSS) and Static Var Compensator (SVC)-based controllers are thoroughly investigated in this paper. This study presents robust tuning of PID-PSS and SVC-based controllers using Genetic Algorithms (GA) in multi machine power systems by considering detailed model of ...

In this paper, the interval type-2 fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative controller (IT2F-PID) is proposed for controlling an inverted pendulum on a cart system with an uncertain model. The proposed controller is designed using a new method of type-reduction that we have proposed, which is called the simplified type-reduction method. The proposed IT2F-PID controller is able to handle the effec...
