Fuzzy logic control has emerged as one of the active area for research. It has evolved as an alternative to the conventional control strategies in various engineering areas. The way is applying fuzzy logic to the design of PID controllers is termed as Fuzzy PID controllers. In this paper, fuzzy logic based PID controllers are compared with fuzzy logic based PD and PI controllers on the basis of...

This article introduces a new application of piecewise linear orthogonal triangular functions to solve fractional order differential-algebraic equations. The generalized triangular function operational matrices for approximating Riemann-Liouville fractional order integral in the triangular function (TF) domain are derived. Error analysis is carried out to estimate the upper bound of absolute er...

This paper presents a new population based parameter free optimization algorithm as teaching learning based optimization (TLBO) and its application to automatic load frequency control (ALFC) of multi-source power system having thermal, hydro and gas power plants. The proposed method is based on the effect of the influence of teacher on the output of learners and the learners can enhance their k...

This paper describes the development of a computer-controlled system that controls inspired CO2 or end-tidal PCO2 (PETCO2) to follow preprogrammed functions such as step, sinusoid, and pulse, under normoxic, hyperoxic, and hypoxic conditions. The system uses a proportional-integral (PI) controller that was optimized by adjusting the PI parameters so as to minimize the integral-time of absolute ...

This paper deals with the design of a fuzzy PID Controller (FPIDC) with dynamic gain through a fuzzy scheme. The gain factor of Proportional, Integral and Derivative is varied according to process of the proposed dead time. FPIDC is modified which depends on the normalized change of error of the controlled variable (ec) and its number of fuzzy partitions. The proposed scheme is tested for a wid...

Due to its extensive use for motion control systems in industry, tuning of the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller parameters has been the focus of intensive research. In this paper, a novel tuning method for the parameters of PID controller based speed control of DC motor using genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed. The main advantage of the proposed method is that the mathematical ...

Performance assessment and monitoring of control systems can be used to improve the performance of industrial processes. In this paper, a novel relay feedback based method for monitoring and automatic retuning of a class of proportional-integral (PI) controllers is proposed for the systems with gain nonlinearity. For performance assessment of the closed loop system, a time domain evaluation cri...

Gas-condensate reservoirs contain hydrocarbon fluids with characteristics between oil and gas reservoirs and a high gas-liquid ratio. Due to the large gas-liquid ratio, wellhead choke calculations using the empirical equations such as Gilbert may contain considerable error. In this study, using drill stem test (DST) data of a gas-condensate reservoir, coefficients of Gilbert equation was modifi...
