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.

<p>IMC-PID controllers supply exceptional set point tracking but slow<br />disturbance refutation, because of introduction of slow process pole<br />introduced by the conventional filter. Disturbance rejection is important in<br />many industrial applications over set point tracking. An enhanced IMC filter<br />cascaded with PID controller with Internal Model Control Tuning System<br />(IMC-PID) is presented right now for efficient disruption rejection and<br />reliable first order process operation with time delay (FOPTD). The optional<br />filter does away with the sluggish dominant pole. The present learning shows<br />that the recommended IMC filter provide excellent trouble rejection<br />irrespective of where the trouble enters the procedure and provide high-<br />quality robustness to duplicate deviation in surroundings of accepting in<br />difference with other method cited in the text. Reenactment study was led to<br />show the feasibility of the suggested approach on processes with different 0/r ratios by measuring the controller parameters while retaining the same<br />robustness as regards maximal sensitivity. His efficiency of the closed loops<br />was assessed utilizing integral error parameters. Viz. ISE, ITAE, IAE. The<br />recommended filter provides excellent response pro lag dominant processes.</p>

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.

In this paper, a fractional-order active disturbance rejection controller (FOADRC), combining a fractional-order proportional derivative (FOPD) controller and an extended state observer (ESO), is proposed for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) speed servo system. The global stable region in the parameter (Kp, Kd, μ)-space corresponding to the observer bandwidth ωo can be obtained by D-decomposition method. To achieve a satisfied tracking and anti-load disturbance performance, an optimal ADRC tuning strategy is proposed. This tuning strategy is applicable to both FOADRC and integer-order active disturbance rejection controller (IOADRC). The tuning method not only meets user-specified frequency-domain indicators but also achieves a time-domain performance index. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed FOADRC achieves better speed tracking, and more robustness to external disturbance performances than traditional IOADRC and typical Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller. For example, the JITAE for speed tracking of the designed FOADRC are less than 52.59% and 55.36% of the JITAE of IOADRC and PID controller, respectively. Besides, the JITAE for anti-load disturbance of the designed FOADRC are less than 17.11% and 52.50% of the JITAE of IOADRC and PID controller, respectively.

Power converter operations and efficiency is affected by variation in supply voltage, loads current, circuit elements, ageing and temperature.  To meet the objective of tight voltage regulation, power converters circuit module and the control unit must be robust to reject disturbances arising from supply, load variation and changes in circuit elements. PID controller has been the most widely used in power converter control. This paper presents studies of robustness of PID controller tuning methods to step changes in the set point and disturbance rejection in power converter control. A DC-DC boost converter was modelled using averaged state-space mothod and PID controllers were designed with five different tuning methods. The study reveals the transient response and disturbance rejection capability of each tuning methods for their suitability in power supply design applications.


This paper describes the design of ProportionalIntegral-Derivative (PID) controller for two variable processes where the two variables need to control. Design of controllers for such a process is too difficult than single variable processes because of interrelations between the two variables present in the system. Hence, the design approach should include the interrelations of the variables to achieve better performance of the processes. In addition to this, the time delay of the processes is also considered and Smith Predictor (SP) configuration is used to reduce the delay in the processes. For the resultant reduced time delay processes, an IMC approach is used to design PID controller. The proposed control system improves both the servo (set point tracking) and regulatory (disturbance rejection) performance of the system. The proposed configuration is also validated using a case study. The simulation results are presented and compared with the other similar approaches to show the efficacy of the proposed method
