Electric power assist steering (EPAS) system provides an important significance in enhancing the driving performance of a vehicle with its energy-conserving features. This paper presents a hybrid PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) based control scheme to minimize energy consumption for EPAS. This single objective optimization scheme is realized using th...

PID controller has been extensively used in industries since 1940s and still the most often implemented controller today. The PID controller can be found in many application areas: petroleum processing, steam generation, polymer processing, chemical industries, robotics, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and many more. The algorithm of PID controller is a simple, single equation relating proporti...

The problem of robust multiloop proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller tuning for multivariable processes is addressed in this paper. The problem is formulated in the H∞ control framework, and the controller parameters are determined based on both user-specified performance and robust stability. The PID settings are computed by solving a nonlinear optimization problem with matrix ine...

Managing well pressure in petroleum drilling is essential for avoiding instability. An adaptive PID control using the unfalsified procedure is proposed to regulate the pressure. The scheme chooses the right PID parameter from a set of candidate parameters based on the data measurement instead of any hypothetical model. The scheme eliminates the difficulties in tuning the PID even without any pr...
