Discussion: “A Simple Switching Control for Linear Systems to Assure Nonovershooting Step Responses” (Zhu, B., and Cai, K. Y., 2012, ASME J. Dyn. Syst. Meas., Control, 134, p. 034503)

This paper offers some comments on the article by Zhu and Cai (2012, “A Simple Switching Control for Linear Systems to Assure Nonovershooting Step Responses,” ASME J. Dyn. Syst. Meas., Control, 134, p. 034503). The authors offered a nonlinear switching scheme to obtain a nonovershooting step response from a linear plant, and motivated their method by showing that no linear Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller could achieve a nonovershooting response for a plant in the form of a triple integrator. In this paper, we show via an example that a linear state feedback controller in conjunction with a Luenberger observer can be found to achieve a nonovershooting response for a triple integrator.

Abstract This paper presents a tuning approach based on Continuous firefly algorithm (CFA) to obtain the proportional-integral- derivative (PID) controller parameters in Automatic Voltage Regulator system (AVR). In the tuning processes the CFA is iterated to reach the optimal or the near optimal of PID controller parameters when the main goal is to improve the AVR step response characteristics. Conducted simulations show the effectiveness and the efficiency of the proposed approach. Furthermore the proposed approach can improve the dynamic of the AVR system. Compared with particle swarm optimization (PSO), the new CFA tuning method has better control system performance in terms of time domain specifications and set-point tracking.

In this paper, we discuss the implementation and tuning algorithms of a variable-, fractional-order Proportional–Integral–Derivative (PID) controller based on Grünwald–Letnikov difference definition. All simulations are executed for the third-order plant with a delay. The results of a unit step response for all described implementations are presented in a graphical and tabular form. As the qualitative criteria, we use three different error values, which are the following: a summation of squared error (SSE), a summation of squared time weighted error (SSTE) and a summation of squared time-squared weighted error (SST2E). Besides three types of error values, obtained results are additionally evaluated on the basis of an overshoot and a rise time of the output signals achieved by systems with the designed controllers.

For a class of linear systems in which there are uncertain parameters in the system and input matrices, as well as constant additive disturbances, a linear state feedback control law is derived. The only information available about the uncertain parameters is the bounding sets in which they lie. The design guarantees that the specified output approaches zero for all possible parameter values and for all initial conditions. Two examples illustrate the application of the theory.
