This paper addresses the three-axis stabilization of a satellite system in the presence of the gravity gradient and orbital eccentricity. Multivariable non-linear dynamics of the satellite system are converted into three well-known non-linear canonical independent models with unknown parameters. The new model is efficient and practical for designers to implement and analyze different control me...

In this paper the importance of self tuning adaptive PID control scheme for automotive suspension system is explained. The objective of this study is to obtain a mathematical model for the passive and semi-active suspension system for quarter car model. Current automobile suspension system employs springs and damper with fixed coefficient. Vehicle suspension systems are typically rated by their...

In this paper method of design of self-tuning fuzzy PID controller is addressed, proposed and tested. Fuzzy logic is used to tune each parameter of PID controller. The proposed controller is tested in control of the thermo-optical plant. This paper deals with theoretical and practical methodology, offering approaches for control design and its successful application.

The 3 degree of freedom (3-DOF) helicopter system is a typical higher-order times, instability, multi-variable, nonlinear and strong coupling control system. This paper presents the analysis of the mathematical model and the basic principle of PID control and fuzzy PID control, which are based on 3-DOF helicopter systems. In allusion to balance control of 3-DOF helicopter system, PID controller...

In this paper, we propose a robust self-tuning PID controller suitable for nonlinear systems. The control system employs a preload relay (P Relay) in series with a PID controller. The P Relay ensures a high gain to yield a robust performance. However, it also incurs a chattering phenomenon. In this paper, instead of viewing the chattering as an undesirable yet inevitable feature, we use it as a...

This paper deals with the experimental control of a rotating active magnetic bearing (AMB) system using PID-type fuzzy controllers (PIDFCs) with parameter adaptive methods. There are three kinds of parameter adaptive methods, including fuzzy tuner, function tuner, and relative rate observer, have been proposed in literatures for tuning the coefficients of PIDFCs. However, only a simulation comp...

Paper deals with implementation of self-tuning digital PID controller on general-purpose 8-bit Freescale 68HC908GB60 microcontroller which is a part of development board M68EVB908GB60 by Axiom Manufacturing. The process is identified using modified recursive least squares method with adaptive directional forgetting resulting in δ-model representation of controlled plant. This representation was...

In this paper, an attempt is made to apply the African Buffalo Optimization (ABO) to tune the parameters of a PID controller for an effective Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR). Existing metaheuristic tuning methods have been proven to be quite successful but there were observable areas that need improvements especially in terms of the system's gain overshoot and steady steady state errors. Usin...
