This paper presents development of an optimal PID and PD controllers for controlling the nonlinear Gantry Crane System (GCS). A new method of Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm that uses Priority-based Fitness Scheme is developed to obtain optimal PID and PD parameters. The optimal parameters are tested on the control structure to examine system responses including trolley displacement and payload oscillation. The dynamic model of GCS is derived using Lagrange equation. Simulation is conducted within Matlab environment to verify the performance of the system in terms of settling time, steady state error and overshoot. The result not only confirmed the successes of using new method for GCS, but also shows the new method performs more efficiently compared to the continuous PSO. This proposed technique demonstrates that implementation of Priority-based Fitness Scheme in BPSO is effective and able to move the trolley as fast as possible to the desired position with low payload oscillation.

Background: The PWM Boost converter is a strongly nonlinear discrete system, especially when the input voltage or load varies widely, therefore, tuning the control parameters of which is a challenge work. Objective: In order to overcome the issues, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is employed for tuning the parameters of a sliding mode controller of a boost converter. Methods: Based on the analysis of the Boost converter model and its non-linear characteristics, a mathematic model of a boost converter with a sliding mode controller is built firstly. Then, the parameters of the Boost controller are adjusted based on the integrated time and absolute error (ITAE), integral square error (ISE) and integrated absolute error (IAE) indexes by PSO. Results: Simulation verification was performed, and the results show that the controllers tuned by the three indexes all have excellent robust stability. Conclusion: The controllers tuned by ITAE and ISE indexes have excellent steady-state performance, but the overshoot is large during the startup. The controller tuned by IAE index has better startup performance and slightly worse steady-state performance.
