In this paper, a Fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative (Fuzzy PID) controller design is presented to improve the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) transient characteristics and increase the robustness of the AVR. Fuzzy PID controller parameters are determined by a genetic algorithm (GA)-based optimization method using a novel multi-objective function. The multi-objective function, which is important for tuning the controller parameters, obtains the optimal solution using the Integrated Time multiplied Absolute Error (ITAE) criterion and the peak value of the output response. The proposed method is tested on two AVR models with different parameters and compared with studies in the literature. It is observed that the proposed method improves the AVR transient response properties and is also robust to parameter changes.

Owing to the superior transient and steady-state performance of the fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) controller over its conventional counterpart, this paper exploited its application in an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) system. Since the FOPID controller contains two more control parameters (µ and λ ) as compared to the conventional PID controller, its tuning process was comparatively more complex. Thus, the intelligence of one of the most recently developed metaheuristic algorithms, called the salp swarm optimization algorithm (SSA), was utilized to select the optimized parameters of the FOPID controller in order to achieve the optimal dynamic response and enhanced stability of the studied AVR system. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, its performance was compared with that of the recently used tuning methods for the same system configuration and operating conditions. Furthermore, a stability analysis was carried out using pole-zero and bode stability criteria. Finally, in order to check the robustness of the developed system against the system parameter variations, a robustness analysis of the developed system was undertaken. The results show that the proposed SSA-based FOPID tuning method for the AVR system outperformed its conventional counterparts in terms of dynamic response and stability measures.
