Proportional + integral + derivative (PID) controllers are widely used in industrial applications to provide optimal and robust performance for stable, unstable, and nonlinear processes. In this paper, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed to tune and retune the PID controller parameter for a class of time-delayed unstable systems. The proposal is to search the optimal controller parameters like , , and by minimising the cost function. The integral of squared error (ISE) criterion is considered as the cost function, which guides the PSO algorithm to get the optimised controller parameters. The procedure for PID parameter tuning and retuning is presented in detail. A comparative study is done with the conventional PID tuning methods proposed in the literature. The simulation results show that the PSO-based PID controller tuning approach provides improved performance for the setpoint tracking, load disturbance rejection, error minimization, and measurement noise attenuation for a class of unstable systems.

A self-adaptive PID tuning scheme is presented for the electro-hydraulic servo loading system. It requires the least squares method to identify the parameters of the transfer function of the electro-hydraulic servo loading system and utilizes the improved lbest PSO algorithm to optimize the PID controller. The scheme can provide the optimal PID parameters so that the dynamic performance and stability of the electro-hydraulic servo loading system are improved. Results show the fact that the dynamic performance and stability of the system are improved by the scheme. And in terms of optimization of PID controller, the improved lbest PSO algorithm is better than the lbest PSO algorithm and Ziegler-Nichols method.

The cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter has been found a promising technology in industrial applications because of its higher voltage with less distortion production. Various PWMs techniques have been proposed to push the harmonics frequencies higher than the switching frequency and thus reduces the THD as compared to non-carrier control technique based upon grid frequency. The Phase-Shifted PWM technique has an advantage over others PWM techniques because its harmonics orders are multiples of switching frequency and also depend on the number of levels of the inverter. The phase shifting angle is uniform when the equal voltage sources are adopted. However, in applications where sets of different voltage source levels feed the H-Bridge cells, the Phase Shifted PWM suffers its high order harmonics elimination capability. As a solution to alleviate this problem, an adaptive variable angle approach is proposed in this paper using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to eliminate desired higher order harmonics. The algorithm is used to minimize the cost function based on high order sideband harmonics elimination equations. The results through MATLAB/Simulink environment shown in this paper confirm the reduction of sideband harmonics of higher orders, and the overall THD.

To select reasonable PID controller parameters and improve control performances of hydraulic systems, a variable weight beetle antenna search algorithm is proposed for PID tuning in the hydraulic system. The beetle antennae search algorithm is inspired by the beetle preying habit depending on symmetry antennae on the head. The proposed algorithm added the exponential equation mechanism strategy in the basic algorithm to further improve the searching performance, the convergence speed, and the optimization accuracy and obtain new iteration and an updating method in the global searching and local searching stages. In the PID tuning process, advantages of less parameters and fast iteration are realized in the PID tuning process. In this paper, different dimension functions were tested, and results calculated by the proposed algorithm were compared with other famous algorithms, and the numerical analysis was carried out, including the iteration, the box-plot, and the searching path, which comprehensively showed the searching balance in the proposed algorithm. Finally, the reasonable PID controller parameters are found by using the proposed method, and the tuned PID controller is introduced into the hydraulic system for control, and the time-domain response characteristics and frequency response characteristics are given. The results show that the proposed PID tuning method has good PID parameter tuning ability, and the tuned PID has a good control ability, which makes the hydraulic system achieve the desired effect.

The proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is widely used in motion control systems due to its simplicity and effectiveness. To achieve satisfactory performance, the PID parameters must be properly tuned. Although numerous PID tuning methods were investigated in the past, most of them were based on either time-domain or frequency-domain responses, while integration of features in both domains for PID tuning was less addressed. However, many industrial practitioners still found it difficult to compromise multiple conflicting control objectives, such as fast responses, small overshoot and tracking errors, and good robustness, with PID controllers. Moreover, it is desirable to adjust PID parameters online such that plant variations and unexpected disturbances can be compensated for more efficiently. In view of these requirements, this paper proposes an adaptive PID control law that updates its parameters online by minimizing the time-domain tracking errors subject to frequency-domain constraints that are imposed for loop shaping. By combining optimization criteria in both time and frequency domains for online parameter adjustment, the proposed PID controller can achieve good tracking performance with adequate robustness margin. Then the proposed PID law is applied to control an XZ-table driven by AC servo motors. Experimental results show that the tracking performance of the proposed controller is superior to that of a constant-gain PID controller whose parameters were tuned by the commercial Matlab/Simulink PID tuner.

The industrial application of Coupled Tank System (CTS) is widely used especially in chemical process industries. The control of liquid level in tanks and flow between tanks is a problem in the process technologies. The process technologies require liquids to be pumped, stored in tanks, and then pumped to another tank systematically. This paper presents development of Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller for controlling the desired liquid level of the CTS. Various conventional techniques of PID tuning method will be tested in order to obtain the PID controller parameters. Simulation is conducted within MATLAB environment to verify the performances of the system in terms of Rise Time (Ts), Settling Time (Ts), Steady State Error (SSE) and Overshoot (OS). The trial and error method of tunning will be implemented and all the performance results will be analyzed using MATLAB. It has been demonstrated that performances of CTS can be improved with appropriate technique of PID tuning methods.

This paper focuses on the design method of the optimal multiple inputs and multiple outputs (MIMO) proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers for the MIMO processes via using Lyapunov theorems. A hybrid augmented integral squared error (HAISE) is applied to design the optimal multi-loop PID controller for the MIMO plants. The optimal multi-loop PID control problem is transformed into a nonlinear constraint optimization (NLCO) problem. The optimal PID controller parameters are obtained from solving the NLCO problem. The design method is applied to devise the multi-loop optimal PID controller for different types of MIMO plants and the optimal PID controller under different control weight is shown in this paper. The performances of different PID tuning methods are studied too. The computer simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the design method and good performance and robustness of the optimal multi-loop PID controllers.

PID controller has still been widely-used in industrial control applications because of its advantages such as functionality, simplicity, applicability, and easy of use. To obtain desired system response in these industrial control applications, parameters of the PID  controller should be well tuned by using conventional tuning methods such as Ziegler-Nichols, Cohen-Coon, and Astrom-Hagglund or by means of meta-heuristic optimization algorithms which consider a fitness function including various parameters such as overshoot, settling time, or steady-state error during the optimization process. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is often used to tune parameters of PID controller, and studies explaining the parameter tuning process of the PID controller are available in the literature. In this study, effects of PSO algorithm parameters, i.e. inertia weight, acceleration factors, and population size, on parameter tuning process of a PID controller for a second-order process plus delay-time (SOPDT) model are analyzed. To demonstrate these effects, control of a SOPDT model is performed by the tuned controller and system response, transient response characteristics, steady-state error, and error-based performance metrics obtained from system response are provided.
