This paper presents the development of an optimal PID controller for vibration control of flexible manipulator structures using particle swarm optimization (PSO) for tuning the PID parameters. The flexible manipulator system is first modeled using finite difference (FD) approach and identification using global search of PSO. The control structure comprises conventional PID controller and an int...

This paper is concerned with real-time optimal-tuning PID control design for industrial hydraulic systems. Several optimal-tuning controller design techniques are used for a hydraulic position control system. After analysis on the system, a nonlinear dynamical model is derived. A nonlinear PID control scheme with inverse of dead zone is introduced to overcome the dead zone in this hydraulic sys...

The Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller is the most adopted controllers for industrial plants, due to its simplicity and satisfactory performances for a wide range of processes. It should be noted that the accurate and efficient tuning of parameters such controllers is very important. On the other hand, industrial plants, such as power systems, usually have some features, such as ...

Many areas in power systems require solving one or more nonlinear optimization problems. Particle swarm optimization (PSO), part of the swarm intelligence family, is known to effectively solve large-scale nonlinear optimization problems. This paper presents a detailed overview of the basic concepts of PSO and its variants. The proposed method utilizes the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algor...

Up to the present time, PID Controller has been widely used to control industrial process loops because of its implementational advantages. However, it is very difficult to achieve an optimal PID gain with no experience, since the parameters of the PID controller has to be manually tuned by trial and error. This paper focuses on tuning of the PID controller using gain/phase margin and immune al...

This paper presents a development of a self-tuning fuzzy PID controller to overcome the appearance of nonlinearities and uncertainties in the system. The self-tuning fuzzy PID controller is the combination of a classical PID and fuzzy controller. The controller is designed based on the expert knowledge of the system. Fuzzy logic is used to tune each parameter of PID controller. Appropriate fuzz...

This paper proposes a novel controller design method based on using artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithms for an unstable nonlinear continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) chemical system. Such CSTR process is highly nonlinear and its dynamic is significantly dominated by system parameters. It is a good challenge to access the controller design performance when the controller is applied in th...

In chemical industries in mid 90’s, process engineers were using the classical controller tuning methods to find the controller parameter values like Kp, Ki ,and Kd. The classical controller tuning methods may require complex computations to identify the controller parameters. With the evolution of soft computing methods these classical control methods were eliminated. This paper focus on desig...
