-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...

medication error (me) is the most common preventable cause of adverse drug events which negatively affects patient safety. inadequate, low-quality studies plus wide estimation variations in me from developing countries including iran, decreases the reliability of me evaluations. to clarify sources, underreporting reasons and preventive measures of mes, we reviewed iran current available literat...

A study of the raindrop size distribution along the eastern coast of South Africa (Durban) is presented. The Biweight kernel estimator based on distometer measurement is used to determine the best estimate of the measured raindrop size probability distribution function (pdf). The best kernel estimator, which results in the lowest integral square error (ISE), is used to measure the closeness of ...

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. In this paper, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm based PID controller tuning is attempted for the concentration control of Continuous Stirred tank reactor (CSTR). The Modeling can be ...

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...

In this paper, an automatic control system design based on Integral Squared Error (ISE) parameter optimization technique has been implemented on longitudinal flight dynamics of an UAV. It has been aimed to minimize the error function between the reference signal and the output of the plant. In the following parts, objective function has been defined with respect to error dynamics. An unconstrai...

In this paper, the design of three-dimensional (3-D) FIR filters using McClellan transform method and integral squared error (ISE) criterion is presented. The 3-D filters with cone-shaped characteristics are considered in the approach. By minimizing the ISE function and double integration, a novel closed-form solution for the transform parameters is developed. The new relations for the transfor...
