The process of tuning the PID controller’s parameters is considered to be a difficult task. Several approaches were developed in the past known as conventional methods. One of these methods is the Ziegler and Nichols that relies on accurate mathematical model of the linear system, but if the system is complex the former method fails to compute the parameters of PID controller. To overcome this problem, recently there exist several techniques based on artificial intelligence such as optimization techniques. The optimization techniques does not require any mathematical model and they are considered to be easy to implement on any system even if it complex, can reach optimal solutions on the parameters. In this study, a new approach to control the position of the micro-robotics system proportional - integral - derivative (PID) controller is designed and a recently developed algorithm based on optimization is known as the sparrow search algorithm (SSA). By using the sparrow search algorithm (SSA), the optimal PID controller parameters were obtained by minimizing a new objective function, which consists of the integral square Time multiplied square Error (ISTES) performance index. The effectiveness of the proposed SSA-based controller was verified by comparisons made with the Sine Cosine algorithm (SCA), and Flower pollination algorithm (FPA) controllers in terms of time and frequency response. Each control technique will be applied to the identified model (simulation results) using MATLAB Simulink and the laboratory setup (experimental results) using LABVIEW software. Finally, the SSA showed the highest performance in time and frequency responses.

One of the main difficult tasks in the field of micro-robotics is the process of the selection of the optimal parameters for the PID controllers. Some methods existed to solve this task and the common method used was the Ziegler and Nichols. The former method require an accurate mathematical model. This method is beneficial in linear systems, however, if the system becomes more complex or non-linear the method cannot produce accurate values to the parameters of the system. A solution proposed for this problem recently is the application of optimization techniques. There are various optimization techniques can be used to solve various optimization problems. In this paper, several optimization methods are applied to compute the optimal parameter of PID controllers. These methods are flower pollination algorithm (FPA), grey wolf optimization (GWO), sin cosine algorithm (SCA), slime mould algorithm (SMA), and sparrow search algorithm (SSA). The fitness function applied in the former optimization techniques is the integral square Time multiplied square Error (ISTES) as the performance index measure. The fitness function provides minimal rise time, minimal settling time, fast response, and no overshoot, Steady state error equal to zero, a very low transient response and a non-oscillating steady state response with excellent stabilization. The effectiveness of the proposed SSA-based controller was verified by comparisons made with FPA, GWO, SCA, SMA controllers in terms of time and frequency response. Each control technique will be applied to the identified model (simulation results) using MATLAB Simulink and the laboratory setup (experimental results) using LABVIEW software. Finally, the SSA showed the highest performance in time and frequency responses.

Hybrid power generation system (HPGS) is an active research area, which is in need of a continuous improvement. It represents the best solution for the most complex problems facing the world in the last decades. These problems are known as the shortage of energy, or lack of electricity, which logically are the results of the continuous increasing demand. Therefore, the researchers do their best to overcome all expected roadblocks facing the development, where the most applicable solutions to solve these problems are introduced. In this paper, the HPGS includes; wind turbine (WT), photovoltaic (PV), storage battery (SB), gas turbine (GT), and utility grid (UG). The GT of this system is fueled directly from the natural gas distribution network considering all operational conditions of it, which may be affected by fueling the natural gas for the GT. So, the natural gas distribution network is becoming an important component of the HPGS, and it is included in the HPGS for the first time. Multi meta-heuristic optimization techniques are applied to obtain the components sizing of this system, where cuckoo search algorithm (CSA), firefly algorithm (FA), and flower pollination algorithm (FPA) have been applied. Therefore, this paper introduces a new contribution not only to the new configuration of the HPGS, but also in applying the new optimization techniques as solving tools. The output results are compared to show the effectiveness and the superiority of the applied techniques as well as extract a recommendation for the best solving technique.

This article aims at solving economic load dispatch (ELD) problem using two algorithms. Here in this article, an implementation of Flower Pollination (FP) and the BAT Algorithm (BA) based optimization search algorithm method is applied. More than one objective is hoped to be achieve in this article. The combined economic emission dispatch (CEED) problem which considers environmental impacts as well as the cost is also solved using the two algorithms. Practical problems in economic dispatch (ED) include both nonsmooth cost functions having equality and inequality constraints which make it difficult to find the global optimal solution using any mathematical optimization. In this article, the ELD problem is expressed as a nonlinear constrained optimization problem which includes equality and inequality constraints. The attainability of the discussed methods is shown for four different systems with emission and without emission and the results achieved with FP and BAT algorithms are matched with other optimization techniques. The experimental results show that conferred Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) outlasts other techniques in finding better solutions proficiently in ELD problems.

In this study, multi-story structures with different combinations (on each floor and only the first floor) of active tendon control systems driven by a proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller were actively controlled. The PID parameters, Kp (proportional gain), Td (derivative gain), and Ti (integral gain) for each structure, were optimally tuned by using both the harmony search algorithm (HS) and flower pollination algorithm (FPA), which are metaheuristic algorithms. In two different active-controlled structures, which are formed according to the position of the PID, the structural responses under near-fault records defined in FEMA P-695 are examined to determine the appropriate feedback which was applied for displacement, velocity, acceleration, and total acceleration. The performance of the different feedback strategies on these two active-controlled structures is evaluated. As a result, the acceleration feedback is suitable for all combinations of the active control system with a PID controller. The HS algorithm outperforms the optimum results found according to the FPA.

AbstractThe processes which contain at least one pole at the origin are known as integrating systems. The process output varies continuously with time at certain speed when they are disturbed from the equilibrium operating point by any environment disturbance/change in input conditions and thus they are considered as non-self-regulating. In most occasions this phenomenon is very disadvantageous and dangerous. Therefore it is always a challenging task to efficient control such kind of processes. Depending upon the number of poles present at the origin and also on the location of other poles in transfer function different types of integrating systems exist. Stable first order plus time delay systems with an integrator (FOPTDI), unstable first order plus time delay systems with an integrator (UFOPTDI), pure integrating plus time delay (PIPTD) systems and double integrating plus time delay (DIPTD) systems are the classifications of integrating systems. By using a well-controlled positioning stage the advances in micro and nano metrology are inevitable in order satisfy the need to maintain the product quality of miniaturized components. As proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers are very simple to tune, easy to understand and robust in control they are widely implemented in many of the chemical process industries. In industries this PID control is the most common control algorithm used and also this has been universally accepted in industrial control. In a wide range of operating conditions the popularity of PID controllers can be attributed partly to their robust performance and partly to their functional simplicity which allows engineers to operate them in a simple, straight forward manner. One of the accepted control algorithms by the process industries is the PID control. However, in order to accomplish high precision positioning performance and to build a robust controller tuning of the key parameters in a PID controller is most inevitable. Therefore, for PID controllers many tuning methods are proposed. the main factors that lead to lifetime reduction in gain loss of PID parameters are described in This paper and also the main methods used for gain tuning based on optimization approach analysis is reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages of each one are outlined and some future directions for research are analyzed.

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.

The control of power converters is difficult due to their non-linear nature and, hence, the quest for smart and efficient controllers is continuous and ongoing. Fractional-order controllers have demonstrated superior performance in power electronic systems in recent years. However, it is a challenge to attain optimal parameters of the fractional-order controller for such types of systems. This article describes the optimal design of a fractional order PID (FOPID) controller for a buck converter using the cohort intelligence (CI) optimization approach. The CI is an artificial intelligence-based socio-inspired meta-heuristic algorithm, which has been inspired by the behavior of a group of candidates called a cohort. The FOPID controller parameters are designed for the minimization of various performance indices, with more emphasis on the integral squared error (ISE) performance index. The FOPID controller shows faster transient and dynamic response characteristics in comparison to the conventional PID controller. Comparison of the proposed method with different optimization techniques like the GA, PSO, ABC, and SA shows good results in lesser computational time. Hence the CI method can be effectively used for the optimal tuning of FOPID controllers, as it gives comparable results to other optimization algorithms at a much faster rate. Such controllers can be optimized for multiple objectives and used in the control of various power converters giving rise to more efficient systems catering to the Industry 4.0 standards.
