The goal of this article is to investigate the implementation of the Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) as an optimization technique to determine the parameters of variable parameters PID (VP-PID) controller. The VP-PID has three parameters that have to be optimally evaluated. A case of three physical imbedded nonlinearities in a single area electric power system has been selected to test the suitability of the proposed technique. The integral-square error (ISE) criterion has been considered as a part of the objective function together with the percentage overshoot and settling time. Matlab/Simulink software has been used in the simulation process. The simulation results show that the proposed VP-PID controller furnishes a better performance than the conventional PID controller.

The classical proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers are still use in various applications in industry. Magnetic levitation (ML) systems are rigidly nonlinear and sometimes unstable systems. Due to inbuilt nonlinearities of ML systems, tracking of position of ML Systems is still difficult. For the tracking purpose of position, PID controller parameters are found by choosing Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) of optimization. The ranges of parameters are customized by z-n method of parameters. Simulation results show the tracking of position of ML systems using conventional and optimized parameters obtained with the CSA based controller.

This paper deals with the design of an optimally performed proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller utilized for speed control of a direct current (DC) motor. To do so, a novel hybrid algorithm was proposed which employs a recent metaheuristic approach, named Lévy flight distribution (LFD) algorithm, and a simplex search method known as Nelder–Mead (NM) algorithm. The proposed algorithm (LFDNM) combines both LFD and NM algorithms in such a way that the good explorative behaviour of LFD and excellent local search capability of NM help to form a novel hybridized version that is well balanced in terms of exploration and exploitation. The promise of the proposed structure was observed through employment of a DC motor with PID controller. Optimum values for PID gains were obtained with the aid of an integral of time multiplied absolute error objective function. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, comparative simulations were carried out using cuckoo search algorithm, genetic algorithm and original LFD algorithm. The system behaviour was assessed through analysing the results for statistical and non-parametric tests, transient and frequency responses, robustness, load disturbance, energy and maximum control signals. The respective evaluations showed better performance of the proposed approach. In addition, the better performance of the proposed approach was also demonstrated through experimental verification. Further evaluation to demonstrate better capability was performed by comparing the LFDNM-based PID controller with other state-of-the-art algorithms-based PID controllers with the same system parameters, which have also confirmed the superiority of the proposed approach.

In this article, the tuning of multiloop Fractional Order PID (FOPID) controller is designed for Two Input Two Output (TITO) processes using an evolutionary algorithm such as the Genetic algorithm (GA), the Cuckoo Search algorithm (CS) and the Bat Algorithm (BA). The control parameters of FOPID are obtained using GA, CS, and BA for minimizing the integral error criteria. The main objective of this article is to compare the performance of the GA, CS, and BA for the multiloop FOPID controller problem. The integer order internal model control based PID (IMC-PID) controller is designed using the GA and the performance of the IMC-PID controller is compared with the FOPID controller scheme. The simulation results confirm that BA offers optimal controller parameter with a minimum value of IAE, ISE, ITAE with faster settling time.

<p>This paper presents cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) for solving non-convex economic load dispatch (ELD) problems of fossil fuel fired generators considering transmission losses and valve point loading effect. CSA is a new meta-heuristic optimisation technique inspired from the obligate brood parasitism of some cuckoo species by laying their eggs in the nests of other host birds of other species. The strength of the proposed meta-heuristic optimization technique CSA has been tested and validated on the standard IEEE 14-bus, 26-bus and 30-bus system with several heuristic load patterns. The results have indicated that the proposed approach is able to obtain significant economic load dispatch solutions than those of Firefly Algorithm (FFA) and other soft computing techniques reported in the literature.</p>

This paper presents a fuzzy adaptive cuckoo search algorithm to improve the cuckoo search algorithm, which may easily fall into a local optimum when handling multiobjective optimization problems. The Fuzzy–Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller design for an active micro-suspension system has been incorporated into the proposed fuzzy adaptive cuckoo search algorithm to improve both driving comfort and road handling. In the past research, a genetic algorithm was often applied in Fuzzy–PID controller design. However, when the dimension is high and there are numerous local optima, the traditional genetic algorithm will not only have a premature convergence, but may also be trapped in the local optima. In the proposed fuzzy adaptive cuckoo search, all parameters of the PID controller and fuzzy rules are real coded to 75 bits in the optimization problem. Moreover, a fuzzy adaptive strategy is proposed for dynamically adjusting the learning parameters in the fuzzy adaptive cuckoo search, and this indeed enables global convergence. Experimental results verify that the proposed fuzzy adaptive cuckoo search algorithm can shorten the computing time in the evolution process and increase accuracy in the multiobjective optimization problem.
