Damping of low frequency electromechanical oscillations is very important for a safe system operation. The fast acting, of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) which is capable of improving both steady state and dynamic performance permits newer approaches to system stabilization. This paper presents a novel methodology for tuning STATCOM based damping controller in order to enhance the d...

This paper presents a review study of PID and fuzzy logic controller for level control of the tank. PID controller is widely used in industries for level control and non-linear system but tuning of PID controller is difficult and it use a mathematical model of the system which is also difficult to find for highly nonlinear system. Fuzzy logic controller use linguistic method to control the syst...

In this paper, a robust controller design approach is proposed for Lower Extremity Rehabilitation Robot (LERR) with automatic gait adaption. Based on the developed LERR dynamic model, the robot system is first decoupled into some independent second-order integral systems using inverbility decoupling method. Then a robust optimal PID controller is proposed for each sub-system to cope with the un...

In this paper, a novel compensator based on Magnetically Controlled Reactor with Fixed Capacitor banks (FC-MCR) is introduced and then power system stability in presence of this compensator is studied using an intelligent control method. The problem of robust FC-MCR-based damping controller design is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem. The multi-objective problem is concocted ...

Automatic control has played a vital role in the evolution of engineering and science. It is also important in such industrial operations as controlling temperature, pressure, humidity, flow and level in the process. This paper focus on the development and implementation of an intelligent optimization to obtain a optimum PID controller settings for level control process in cylindrical tank. Sys...

This paper deals with the design of a novel fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller for automatic generation control (AGC) of a two unequal area interconnected thermal system. For the first time teaching–learning based optimization (TLBO) algorithm is applied in this area to obtain the parameters of the proposed fuzzy-PID controller. The design problem is formulated as an optimi...

In this paper, a robust PID control scheme is proposed for Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) optical switches. The proposed approach is designed in a way which solves two challenging and important problems. The first one is successful reference tracking and the second is mitigating the system nonlinearities. The overall system composed of nonlinear MEMS dynamics and the PID controller is ...

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...

the digital redesign technique is one of the most popular approaches to the design of digital controllers in industries. Which converting a good-designed continuous time controller to a digital controller suitable for digital implementation. In this paper, the Plant-Input-Mapping algorithm (PIM) is used for converting the S-domain model of the PID controller to a Z-domain model counterpart. The...

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...
