PurposeThe two-tank level control system is one of the real-world's second-order system (SOS) widely used as the process control in industries. It is normally operated under the Proportional integral and derivative (PID) feedback control loop. The conventional PID controller performance degrades significantly in the existence of modeling uncertainty, faults and process disturbances. To overcome these limitations, the paper suggests an interval type-2 fuzzy logic based Tilt-Integral-Derivative Controller (IT2TID) which is modified structure of PID controller.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, an optimization IT2TID controller design for the conical, noninteracting level control system is presented. Regarding to modern optimization context, the flower pollination algorithm (FPA), among the most coherent population-based metaheuristic optimization techniques is applied to search for the appropriate IT2FTID's and IT2FPID's parameters. The proposed FPA-based IT2FTID/IT2FPID design framework is considered as the constrained optimization problem. System responses obtained by the IT2FTID controller designed by the FPA will be differentiated with those acquired by the IT2FPID controller also designed by the FPA.FindingsAs the results, it was found that the IT2FTID can provide the very satisfactory tracking and regulating responses of the conical two-tank noninteracting level control system superior as compared to IT2FPID significantly under the actuator and system component faults. Additionally, statistical Z-test carried out for both the controllers and an effectiveness of the proposed IT2FTID controller is proven as compared to IT2FPID and existing passive fault tolerant controller in recent literature.Originality/valueApplication of new metaheuristic algorithm to optimize interval type-2 fractional order TID controller for nonlinear level control system with two type of faults. Also, proposed method will compare with other method and statistical analysis will be presented.

Water level control is a crucial step for steam generators (SG) which are widely used to control the temperature of nuclear power plants. The control process is therefore a challenging task to improve the performance of water level control system. The performance assessment is another consideration to underline. In this paper, in order to get better control of water level, the nonlinear process was first expressed in terms of a transfer function (TF), a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller was then attached to the model. The parameters of the PID controller was finally optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO). Simulation results indicate that the proposed approach can make an effective tracking of a given level set or reference trajectory.

In this study, we deal with systems that can be represented by single fractional order pole models and propose an integer order proportional–integral/proportional–integral–derivative controller design methodology for this class. The basic principle or backbone of the design methodology of the proposed controller relies on using the inverse of the fractional model and then approximating this fractional controller transfer function by a low integer order model using Oustaloup filter. The emerging integer order controller reveals itself either in pre-filtered proportional–integral or proportional–integral–derivative form by emphasizing on the dominancy concept of pole-zero configuration. Parameters of the proposed controllers depend on the parameters of the single fractional order pole model and the only free design parameter left is the overall controller gain. This free design parameter is determined via some approximating functions relying on an optimization procedure. Simulation results show that the proposed controller exhibits either satisfactory or better results with respect to some performance indices and time domain criteria when they are compared to classical integer order proportional–integral–derivative and fractional order proportional–integral–derivative controllers. Moreover, the proposed controller is applied to real-time liquid level control system. The application results show that the proposed controller outperforms the other controllers.

Abstract Increasing performance demands and constraints are necessitating the design of highly complex, integrated systems across multiple sectors, including transportation and energy. However, conventional design approaches for such systems are largely siloed and focused on steady-state operation. To accommodate tightening operating envelopes, new design paradigms are needed that explicitly consider system-component interactions and their implications on transient performance at the system design stage. In this work, we present a model fidelity-based decomposition (MFBD) hierarchical control co-design (HCCD) algorithm designed to optimize system performance characteristics, with an emphasis on robustness to transient disturbances during real-time operation. Our framework integrates system level control co-design (CCD) with high-fidelity component design optimization in a computationally efficient manner for classes of highly coupled systems in which the coupling between subproblems cannot be fully captured using existing analytical relationships. Our algorithm permits scalable decomposition of computationally intensive component models and addresses coupling issues between subproblems in part by introducing an intermediate optimization procedure to solve for reduced-order model parameters that maximize the accuracy of the lumped-parameter control model required in the CCD algorithm. We demonstrate the merits of the MFBD HCCD algorithm, in comparison to an all-at-once (AAO) CCD approach, through a case study on aircraft dynamic thermal management. Our results show that our decomposition-based solution matches the AAO optimal cost to within 2.5% with a 54% reduction in computation time.
