The characteristics of hydraulic turbine governing system change with operating conditions, therefore the governor must be capable of providing satisfactory control under different operating points. For this reason a design method of robust PID controller is proposed. The effects of the characteristic variations are defined as uncertainties in the system model, and based on this model, the requ...

In this paper, an adaptive PID sliding mode controller is proposed for the position control of electro-hydrostatic actuator(EHA) systems with system uncertainties and saturation in the motor. An EHA prototype is developed and system modeling and parameter identification are executed. Then, adaptive PID sliding mode controller and optimal anti-windup PID controller are designed and the performan...

This paper presents investigations into the development of a linear matrix inequalities (LMI) based robust PID control of a nonlinear Two-Link Flexible Manipulator (TLFM) incorporating payload. A set of linear models of a TLFM is obtained by using system identification method in which the linear model represents the operating ranges of the dynamic system. Thus, the LMI constraints permit to rob...

This paper presents an online two-stage Q-learning based multi-agent (MA) controller for load frequency control (LFC) in an interconnected multi-area multi-source power system integrated with distributed energy resources (DERs). The proposed control strategy consists of two stages. The first stage is employed a PID controller which its parameters are designed using sine cosine optimization (SCO...

Good way to the more efficient control of Higher Order Control System is to use fractional order PID controllers. In this paper, Fractional order PID Controller for Higher Order Control System is proposed and designed for 3 order control system. Podlubny proposed a generalization of the PID controller, namely the PI D controller, involving an integrator of order and a differentiator of order μ....

According to the nonlinear and time-varying uncertainty characteristics of direct drive electrohydraulic servo control system, a self-tuning fuzzy PID control method with speed change integral and differential ahead optimizing operator is put forward by combining fuzzy inference and traditional PID control in this paper. The rule of fuzzy logic is designed, the membership function of the fuzzy ...

The paper evaluates the performance of cascaded PID controller designs for the temperature control of an industrial heating furnace. From the control theory literature it is clear that ideal PID controller is an obsolete for the control of non-linear processes like temperature. PID controller in cascaded architecture is the best choice compared to conventional single loop control system for con...

The control of FOPD (first order plus delay) systems with high normalized time (ratio of time delay and time constant) is a very hard task, especially when the system parameters are subjected to variations. A great number of physical systems show such model behavior. In process control today, proportional integral derivative (PID) (continuous and digital) controllers still predominate and are s...

This paper informs about the latest development of the blended learning course Robust Constrained PID Control and describes in details problems faced in evaluating independent work of students with real time experiments that represent the main element of the applied “learning by doing” and “learning by experimenting” approach. Basic features of the developed system that evaluates consistency of...
