Evolvable hardware (EHW) is a technique introduced to automatically design circuits where the circuit configuration is carried out by evolutionary algorithms. This paper shows that the evolutionary approach can discover the concept and learning behavior of the control systems. The system tested is a nonlinear pendulum. Experiments with different processes indicate that the gains obtained with e...

-A novel approach for the implementation of Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique is proposed. Two different approaches are made in the PSO algorithms, Random PSO (RPSO) and knowledge based PSO (KPSO) for the determination of optimum controller gain in MPC structure In order to test the performance of the proposed PSO based MPC system a nonl...

This work proposes a systematic two-degree freedom control scheme to improve the reference input tracking and load disturbance rejection for an unstable magnetic levitation system. The proposed control strategy is a two-step design process. Firstly, a proportional derivative controller is introduced purposely to get the desired set-point response of the magnetic levitation system and then, an i...

A real time implementation of Fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for a spherical tank to control liquid level is studied. Control of liquid level in a spherical tank is highly non linear due to variation in the area of cross section of level system with change in shape .System identification of spherical tank system is done using black box model which is identified to be non linear and approximated t...

Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) is one of the common reactors in chemical process and all industrial process requires a solution of specific chemical strength of chemicals considered for analysis.

Design of fractional order PID (FOPID) controller for DC motor is proposed in this paper. A FOPID (PID) is a PID controller whose derivative and integral orders are fractional numbers rather than integers. Design stage of such controller consists of determining six parameters – proportional constant (Kp), integral constant (Ki), derivative constant (Kd), filter time constant (τd), integral orde...

The paper proposes a detailed analysis of various intelligent algorithms for the application of tuning PID controllers for time delayed model with a specific stability analysis on the unstable phase of a Bioreactor system.
