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 ...

Proportional – Integral – Derivative control schemes continue to provide the simplest and effective solutions to most of the control engineering applications today. However PID controller is poorly tuned in practice with most of the tuning done manually which is difficult and time consuming. This research comes up with a soft computing approach involving Genetic Algorithm, Evolutionary Programm...

The performance optimization of induction motor speed control system is studied and self-tuning PID controller based on diagonal recurrent neural network (DRNN) is presented in this paper. Neural network control does not require the precise mathematical model of the system, and it only needs to train neural network online or offline, then use the training results to design the control system. I...

A model-based autotuning system is presented for PI/PID controllers. A conventional relay feedback test is used to generate the response for estimations of parameters such as: process gain, ultimate gain, ultimate frequency, and apparent deadtime. Two ANNs are built based on the data generated from standard SOPDT processes to enhance the estimation of apparent deadtime. Upon having the estimate...

many real time processes have complex, uncertain and nonlinear dynamics. boilers are nonlinear, time varying, multi-input multi-output (mimo) systems, whose states generally vary with operating conditions. the major problem in controlling that system is that its drum water pressure and steam flow dynamics include an integrator that results a critically stable behavior. conventional controller p...

This paper presents a method to get the optimal tuning of Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller parameters for an AVR system of a synchronous generator using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. The AVR is not initially robust to variations of the power system parameters. Therefore, it was necessary to use PID controller to increase the stability margin and to improve perfor...
