In this paper, a model-based tuning method for a PID controller of excitation systems based on a simplified model that considers measurement delay is proposed. The conventional model-based tuning method, which has been studied previously, uses a simplified excitation system model that ignores all the delay components. However, since the rms voltage measurement can take hundreds of milliseconds to calculate depending on the system settings, this delay cannot be ignored when the required response needs to be as fast as the measurement delay. Furthermore, the linearity of the measurement method is not taken into account because the measurement delay has already been ignored. Therefore, in this paper, a simplified model that considers measurement delay and its linearity is proposed, and a model-based tuning method of PID controllers for two kinds of excitation systems is proposed and compared with the conventional method by analysis. To verify the analysis and proposed tuning method, experiments are conducted for both excitation systems.

Although a controller is well-tuned for set-point tracking, it shows poor control results for load disturbance rejection and vice versa. In this paper, a modified two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) control framework to solve this problem is proposed, and an optimal tuning method for the pa-rameters of each proportional integral derivative (PID) controller is discussed. The unique feature of the proposed scheme is that a feedforward controller is embedded in the parallel control structure to improve set-point tracking performance. This feedforward controller and the standard PID con-troller are combined to create a new set-point weighted PID controller with a set-point weighting function. Therefore, in this study, two controllers are used: a set-point weighted PID controller for set-point tracking and a conventional PID controller for load disturbance rejection. The parameters included in the two controllers are tuned separately to improve set-point tracking and load dis-turbance rejection performances, respectively. Each controller is optimally tuned by genetic algo-rithm (GA) in terms of minimizing the IAE performance index, and what is special at this time is that it also tunes the set-point weighting parameter simultaneously. The simulation results performed on four virtual processes verify that the proposed method shows better performance in set-point tracking and load disturbance rejection than those of the other methods.


This paper features an effective technique to device the parameters of PID controllers for utilization together with an Automatic Voltage Regulator System (AVR). The quintessential goal is to acquire a good load disturbance response by minimizing the performance index/(Integral time square error). Simultaneously, the transient response is assured by limiting maximum overshoot, settling time and rise time of the step response to minimal values. For achieving these goals, optimum and quick tuning of the parameters (Kp, Ki, and Kd) is essential. In an effort to accomplish the aforementioned, the paper put forth an algorithm developed based on the Ant Colony Optimization technique (ACO) to decide optimal gains of PID controller and for getting optimal performance within an AVR system. Simulation results establish superior control response may be accomplished in comparison with methods like conventional tuning method (trial and error) and built-in genetic algorithm (GA) took-kit.e.

The inverted pendulum system is a challenging control problem in the control theory, which continually moves away from a stable state. The paper presents the design of a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller for a single-input multi-output (SIMO) inverted pendulum system and using the Bees Algorithm (BA) to obtain optimal gains for PID controllers. The Bees Algorithm optimizes the gains so that the controller can move the cart to a desired position with the minimum amount of the change in the pendulum’s angle from the vertically upright position during the movement. The tuning aim is to minimize the control responses of the cart’s position and the pendulum’s angle in time domain. MATLAB/Simulink simulation has been performed to demonstrate that the effects on the system performance of PID controllers with optimal gains. The obtained results show that the tuning method by using the Bees Algorithm produced PID controllers successfully within the controller design criteria. Following a description of the inverted pendulum system and the Bees Algorithm, the paper gives the obtained simulation results for the system demonstrating the efficiency of the design.

Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller is one of the most widely used controllers for its property of simplicity and practicability. In order to design high-quality performances PID controllers, an Advanced Fireworks (AFW) algorithm based on self-adaption principle and bimodal Gaussian function is proposed, which is built to optimize the PID controller by parameters tuning. Firstly, a compound index of optimization performance is formulated, and then the extremal optimization method of PID control system is proposed. Secondly, a PID parameters tuning model combined with AFW is built. At last, 5 typical transfer functions are simulated to obtain optimal parameters by AFW and contrast tuning method, such as Ziegler-Nichols method, Enhanced Fireworks (EFW) algorithm, and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Simulation results show that AFW are effective and are easily implemented methods to solve PID control problems of different transfer functions.

This paper proposed the chaotic safe experimentation dynamics algorithm (CSEDA) to regulate angular tracking and vibration of the self-tuning PID controller for elastic joint manipulators. CSEDA was a modified version of the safe experimentation dynamics algorithm (SEDA) that used a chaos function in the updated equation. The chaos function increased the exploration capability, thus improving the convergence accuracy. In this study, two self-tuning PID controllers were used to regulate the rotating angle tracking and vibration for elastic joint manipulators in this control challenge. The suggested self-tuning PID controller's performance was evaluated in angular motion trajectory tracking, vibration suppression, and the pre-determined control fitness function. A self-tuned PID controller based on CSEDA could achieve superior control accuracy than a traditional SEDA and its variants.


Various tuning methods have been proposed for proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. A respectively new and simple experimental method for tuning PID controllers named a Good Gain method that was recently proposed by F. Haugen in 2010, this method is not yet recognized among the other known methods for tuning. However, the founder of this methods claims that it can be an alternative to the famous Ziegler-Nichols. In this paper, PID tuning method has been performed experimentally using a real water level system in order to test and validates the Good Gain method. Also other PID tuning methods applied to the same system to compare the results. The results show that the Good Gain method gives an acceptable stability and response comparing to the other industrial PID controller tuning procedures

The Magnitude Optimum (MO) tuning method for PID controllers, applied on stable and non-oscillating plants, usually gives fast tracking responses and offers very good process output disturbance-rejection performance, even if the process contains significant dead time. On the other hand, when an exogenous disturbance affects the process indirectly, for example, via the plant input, slow disturbance rejection responses may be obtained. The paper proposes a way of removing this problem by means of adding two first-order filters into the control loop, without modifying the controller parameters. The filter parameters are determined so that the disturbance lag is partially compensated and the stability margin properties of the MO tuning are preserved.

Level control of liquid in a tank or any similar container is widely used in applications such as chemical and oil industrial processes. Control the level at desired value is very important. This paper studies the performance of P, PI, and PID controllers in controlling the level of a liquid. Mass balance is used to find mathematical model of water tank level. Ziegler-Nichol (Z-N) and Cohen-Coon (C-C) tuning methods are used to evaluate parameters of the controllers. The error indices such as Integral Absolute Error (IAE) and Integral Squared Error (ISE) are used to compare between performances of the controllers. MATLAB is used to test the control system performance and compare the results with real values. Both simulation and experimental results show that liquid level system can be controlled effectively by using Z-N tuning method. The result shows that the PI controller gives better performance in comparison with P and PID controller.

Background: Due to the increasing demand for the electrical power and limitations of conventional energy to produce electricity. Methods: Now the Microgrid (MG) system based on alternative energy sources are used to provide electrical energy to fulfill the increasing demand. The power system frequency deviates from its nominal value when the generation differs the load demand. The paper presents, Load Frequency Control (LFC) of a hybrid power structure consisting of a reheat turbine thermal unit, hydropower generation unit and Distributed Generation (DG) resources. Results: The execution of the proposed fractional order Fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative (FO Fuzzy PID) controller is explored by comparing the results with different types of controllers such as PID, fractional order PID (FOPID) and Fuzzy PID controllers. The controller parameters are optimized with a novel application of Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA). The robustness of the proposed FO Fuzzy PID controller towards different loading, Step Load Perturbations (SLP) and random step change of wind power is tested. Further, the study is extended to an AC microgrid integrated three region thermal power systems. Conclusion: The performed time domain simulations results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed FO Fuzzy PID controller and show that it has better performance than that of PID, FOPID and Fuzzy PID controllers. The suggested approach is reached out to the more practical multi-region power system. Thus, the worthiness and adequacy of the proposed technique are verified effectively.
