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.

Since boiler water level system is a complex dynamic system, it is difficult to obtain satisfactory control performances by using the traditional PID controller whose parameters are constant. Therefore, an intelligent fuzzy-PID controller, which can adjust the three parameters of PID in terms of the level error and the rate of lever error, is proposed. On the other hand, if knowing the relation between the closed-loop poles and the system performance, we can achieve the desired control characteristics with pole-placement approach. So, a new control strategy combined with PID controller, fuzzy logic and pole-placement design through state feedback is further proposed. The simulation results show that this control strategy has much better performances than is obtained with traditional controllers.


Various tuning methods have been proposed for proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. A respectively new and simple experimental method for tuning PID controllers named a Good Gain method that was recently proposed by F. Haugen in 2010, this method is not yet recognized among the other known methods for tuning. However, the founder of this methods claims that it can be an alternative to the famous Ziegler-Nichols. In this paper, PID tuning method has been performed experimentally using a real water level system in order to test and validates the Good Gain method. Also other PID tuning methods applied to the same system to compare the results. The results show that the Good Gain method gives an acceptable stability and response comparing to the other industrial PID controller tuning procedures

The Stability of SG water level plays an important role in the safety of nuclear power plants, but tuned the parameter of water level PID controller is hard. Proposed a novel algorithm, KIPSO, which tuning PID controller parameters. Determine the cluster centre through K-means value cluster algorithm, and take the cluster territory as the characteristic value of vaccine set, enhance the vaccine multiplicity. Updated vaccine extraction by self-adaptive method, improved the convergence and adaptability. Analyzed the algorithm robustness in detail, and gave the rule which the immunity selection parameter. The simulation results shows: compares with the PID controller whose parameters are tuned by ZN method, KIPSO have a smaller overshoot, a better stability, and a shorter adjustment time. The simulation results show that the proposed method is effective for tuning PID parameters.
