This paper describes the benchmark proposed for the IFAC Conference on Advances in PID Controllers (PID’12) at the end of july 2011. It is expected that this benchmark allows researchers to test their recent developments in the design of PID controllers. Two approaches to the boiling process were provided; the first ready to test a multivariable PID controller and the second ready to test PID c...

This paper presents an approach where the Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is employed to get optimum PID controller parameters to control of a SCARA robot. PSO is an evolutionary technique which is originated from swarm intelligence. A practical application of the PSO-PID controller is performed with the system dynamics. A simulation study is also included with the proposed controller by usin...

A variety of control systems have been proposed for aircraft autopilot systems. Traditional approaches such as proportional controller and conventional PID (CPID) controller are widely used. PID controller has a good static performance especially for linear and time-invariant systems, but a weak dynamic performance and discouraging function on nonlinear, time-varying, and uncertain systems. Fuz...

Degradation of reliability caused by plasma induced damage (PID) has become a significant concern with miniaturizing a device size. In this paper, we measure frequencies of ring oscillators with an antenna structure on a single stage. In bulk, PID is relieved by connecting an antenna to a drain because electric charge flow to a substrate. The difference of initial frequencies is 0.79 % between ...

PURPOSE To promote awareness of primary immunodeficiency (PID), the "10 warning signs" of PID and an immunodeficiency-related (IDR) score were developed. However, their efficiency in identifying PID cases was not sufficiently evaluated in clinical practice. The objective of this study was to test the validity of the 10 warning signs and IDR score in identifying PID among children with recurrent...

This paper provides a comparative study on the performances of standard PID and adaptive PID controllers tested on travel angle of a 3-Degree-of-Freedom (3-DOF) Quanser bench-top helicopter. Quanser, a well-known manufacturer of educational bench-top helicopter has developed Proportional Integration Derivative (PID) controller with Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) for all travel, pitch and yaw ...

The purpose of introducing a combined cycle with gas turbine in power plants is to reduce losses of energy, by effectively using exhaust gases from the gas turbine to produce additional electricity or process. The efficiency of a combined power plant with the gas turbine increases, exceeding 50%, while the efficiency of traditional steam turbine plants is approximately 35% to 40%. Up to the pre...

An enhanced nonlinear PID (EN-PID) controller that exhibits the improved performance than the conventional linear fixed-gain PID controller is proposed in this paper, by incorporating a sector-bounded nonlinear gain in cascade with a conventional PID control architecture. To achieve the high robustness against noise, two nonlinear tracking differentiators are used to select high-quality differe...
