Potential induced degradation (PID) is a serious threat for the photovoltaic (PV) industry. The risk of PID may increase with increasing operating voltage PV systems. Although tests are currently standard tests, expansion floating power plants and installation in humid climates show that PID-free modules still sensitive to this type degradation. Therefore, method can detect initial phase before...

This paper proposes a novel adaptive genetic algorithm (AGA) for the multi-objective optimization design of a fractional PID controller and applies it to the control of an active magnetic bearing (AMB) system. Different from PID controllers with three constants, the fractional PID controller’s parameters are composed of proportional constant, integral constant, derivative constant, derivative o...

This paper proposes the Multi Objective Optimization (MOO) of Vehicle Active Suspension System (VASS) with a hybrid Differential Evolution (DE) based Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) (DEBBO) for the parameter tuning of Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller. Initially a conventional PID controller, secondly a BBO, an rising nature enthused global optimization procedure based on ...

The rocket is the only vehicle that launches the spacecraft in the space. The orientation of the spacecraft in precise position is so crucial. But, the motion of the rocket can be influenced by internal and external disturbances. Furthermore, the rocket is a multi-input and multi-output nonlinear system whose dynamics are unstable and poorly understood. Hence, attitude control of the rocket is ...

A simple design method for robust PID controllers is presented. It is based on a multi criteria H∞ optimal control formulation, which is shown to be easily solved by a few lines of MATLAB code. This optimal solution for PID controllers including low pass filtering, is complemented by a simple paper and pen solution that can be used to obtain nearly optimal solutions. The presented approach is s...

In this paper, load frequency control in two-area multiunits interconnected hydro thermal power system has been investigated. When an interconnected power system is subjected to heavy load disturbances, the system frequency and tie-line power flow are disturbed which leads to system instability. To stabilize the system frequency oscillations and tie line power flow variations, a PID controller ...

Nature inspired algorithms are the most popular and robust algorithms for the optimization of the real world problems like pitch control of an aircraft system. This paper introduces Bat algorithm and Differential Evolution technique for the multi-objective optimization based designing of the fractional order PID (FOPID) and integer order PID controllers. The optimized values obtained from the t...

a three stage production system is considered in this paper. there are two stages to fabricate and ready the parts and an assembly stage to assembly the parts and complete the products in this system. suppose that a number of products of different kinds are ordered. each product is assembled with a set of several parts. at first the parts are produced in the first stage with parallel machines a...

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...

Proportional-Integra-Derivative controllers are universal control structure and have widely used in Automation systems, they are usually implemented either in hardware using analog components or in software using Computer-based systems. In this paper, we focused our works designing on building a multi-channel PID controller by Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). To overcome the hardware com...
