A new auto-tuning approach for centralized MIMO PID controllers and unknown process models is presented. Classical multivariable PID controller tuning methods are combined with iterative feedback tuning (IFT) to develop an auto-tuning method with a bounded number of tuning parameters. The method is demonstrated and validated with a steam generator example. Very good simulation results are obtai...

Power system stabilizers (PSSs) must be capable of providing appropriate stabilization signals over abroad range of operating conditions and disturbances. The main idea of this paper is changing aclassic PSS (CPSS) to an adaptive PSS using genetic algorithm. This new genetic algorithm based onadaptive PSS (GAPSS) improves power system damping, considerably. The controller design issue isformula...

In this work, the different fuels (citric acid, glycine and urea) were used for solution combustion synthesis of CoFe2O4 powders. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry techniques were employed for characterization of phase evolution, cation distribution, microstructure and magnetic properties of the as-combusted CoFe2O4 powders. Single phas...
