This paper performed the longitudinal nonlinear PID Controller parameter optimization of general aircraft autopilot based on the longitudinal channel model and genetic algorithm. Proportion, integration and differential gain of nonlinear PID Controller is nonlinear function of controlling error. The objection function involves time integration of error’s absolute value, output of controller and system overshoot. The longitudinal controlling rate optimization of general aircraft autopilot is realized by minimizing the objection function value. Simulation results show that controller designed by the present method is better than traditional PID controller.

Proportion, integration and differential gain of nonlinear PID Controller is nonlinear function of controlling error. This paper performed the non-linear PID controller parameter optimization of vertical take-off and landing stage for tilt rotor aircraft using the genetic algorithm. Dual loop control is used. Inner loop is angular velocity loop. Outer loop is angular position loop. According to the features of stability control of vertical take-off and landing stage of tilt rotor aircraft, system ascend time, steady error, and weighted overshoot are chosen as objective function of optimization. Simulation results show that controller designed by the present method can meet the requirement of control.

The integrating process with time delay (IPTD) is a fundamentally unstable open-loop system due to poles at the origin of the transfer function, and designing controllers with satisfactory control performance is very difficult because of the associated time delay, which is a nonlinear element. Therefore, this study focuses on the design of an intelligent proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller to improve the regulatory response performance to disturbance in an IPTD, and addresses problems related to optimally tuning each parameter of the controller with a real coded genetic algorithm (RCGA). Each gain of the nonlinear PID (NPID) controller consists of a product of the gains of the linear PID controller and a simple nonlinear function. Each of these nonlinear functions changes the gains in the controller to on line by nonlinearly scaling the error signal. A lead-lag compensator or first-order filter is also added to the controller to mitigate noise, which is a disadvantage of ideal derivative action. The parameters in the controller are optimally tuned by minimizing the integral of time-weighted absolute error (ITAE) using a RCGA. The proposed method is compared with three other methods through simulation to verify its effectiveness.
