The proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is tuned to find its parameters values. Generally most of the tuning methods depend mainly on the experimental approach of open-loop unit step response. The controller parameters can be found if the system truly can be approximated by First Order Plus-Dead Time (FOPDT). The performance of most of them deteriorates as the ratio of approximate...

Design of fractional order PID (FOPID) controller for DC motor is proposed in this paper. A FOPID (PID) is a PID controller whose derivative and integral orders are fractional numbers rather than integers. Design stage of such controller consists of determining six parameters – proportional constant (Kp), integral constant (Ki), derivative constant (Kd), filter time constant (τd), integral orde...

We investigated the possibility of applying a hybrid feed-forward inverse nonlinear auto-regressive with exogenous input (NARX) fuzzy model-PID controller to a nonlinear pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) robot arm to improve its joint angle position output performance. The proposed hybrid inverse NARX fuzzy-PID controller is implemented to control a PAM robot arm that is subjected to nonlinear ...

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 ...

This paper suggests a method for designing PSS to damp multi-machine power system oscillations.  The method is based on robust control theory. First, the conventional method for designing robust controller in LMI framework is illustrated. Then, the suggested method is given, in which, a PID output feedback controller is tuned using the LMI approach. Mostly, the classical methods are used t...

Abstract. A Fuzzy-PID controller is designed for tracing reference cutting forces in grinding by integrating a high performance fuzzy controller and an easy to use PID controller. When the error of the grinding force is large, in order to respond quickly, the fuzzy controller with a self-tuning factor is adopted and the Max-Proc strategy is also used. This will be good for fuzzy reasoning. If t...

The conventional PID (proportional-integralderivative) controller is widely applied to industrial automation and process control field because its structure is sample and its robust is well, but it do not work well for nonlinear system, time-delayed linear system and timevarying system. This paper provides a new style of PID controller that is based on artificial neural network and evolutionary...

Etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings have long hypocotyls and closed yellow cotyledons (skotomorphogenesis); however, light-grown plants exhibit short hypocotyls and opened green cotyledons (photomorphogenesis) (1). It has been revealed that E3 ubiquitin ligase CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1) is a central negative regulator for plant photomorphogenesis. COP1 directly targets a plethora of t...
