In this paper we describe the application of an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm to optimize the parameters in the design of PI controller and to find the best optimal intelligent controller. The ACO algorithm is a bio-inspired optimization method that has proven its success through various combinatorial optimization problems. The parameters of the PI Controller are evaluated by an ant c...

The paper presents an optimum design procedure for the controller used in the frequency converter of a variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) driven doubly fed asynchronous generator (DFAG) by using Proportional-Integral (PI) controller. The cascaded control is frequently used in the control of the frequency converter using the proportional PI controllers. The setting of the parameters of the PI co...

Three-phase Induction Motor (IM) is widely used in the industry because of its rugged construction and absence of brushes. However, speed control of IM is required depending on the desired speed and application. This study proposes a design of a Proportional Integral (PI) controller using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to control the speed of an IM supplied from wind turbine. The w...

Different types of controlling methods are used in switched mode dc-dc converters and the controller which is simple and of low cost is always in demand. The different controllers used are PI controller, PID controller and Fuzzy logic controller. PI and PID controllers do not give good performance in non linear conditions. Fuzzy logic controller is a non linear controller which do not need exac...
