IMC based robust PID controller tuning for disturbance rejection

It is well-known that the IMC-PID controller tuning gives fast and improved set point response but slow disturbance rejection. A modification has been proposed in IMC-PID tuning rule for the improved disturbance rejection. For the modified IMC-PID tuning rule, a method has been developed to obtain the IMC-PID setting in closed-loop mode without acquiring detailed information of the process. The proposed method is based on the closed-loop step set point experiment using a proportional only controller with gain K_(c0). It is the direct approach to find the PID controller setting similar to classical Ziegler-Nichols closed-loop method. Based on simulations of a wide range of first-order with delay processes, a simple correlation has been derived to obtain the modified IMC-PID controller settings from closed-loop experiment. In this method, controller gain is a function of the overshoot obtained in the closed loop set point experiment. The integral and derivative time is mainly a function of the time to reach the first peak(overshoot). Simulation has been conducted for the broad class of processes and the controllers were tuned to have the same degree of robustness by measuring the maximum sensitivity, Ms, in order to obtain a reasonable comparison. The PID controller settings obtained in the proposed tuning method show better performance and robustness with other two-step tuning methods for the broad class of processes. It has also been applied to temperature control loop in distillation column model. The result has been compared to the open loop tuning method where it gives robust and fast response.

With the huge rise of energy demand,the power system in the current era is moving to a new standard with increased access to renewable energy sources(RESs)integrated with distribution generation(DG)network.The RESs necessitate interfaces for controlling the power generation.The multilevel inverter(MLI)can be exploited for RESs in two diverse modes,namely,the power generation mode(stand-alone mode),and compensator mode(statcom).Few works have been carried out in optimization of controller gains with the load variations of the single type such as reactive load variation in different cases.Nevertheless,this load type may be unbalanced hence,to overcome such issues.So,a sophisticated optimization algorithm is important.This paper aims to introduce a control design via an optimization assisted PI controller for a 7-level inverter.In the present technique,the gains of the PI controller are adjusted dynamically by the adopted hybrid scheme,grey optimizer with dragon levy update(GD-LU),based on the operating conditions of the system.Here,the gains are adjusted such that the error between the reference signal and fault signal should be minimal.Thus,better dynamic performance could be attained by the present optimized PI controller.The proposed algorithm is the combined version of grey wolf optimization(GWO)and dragonfly algorithm(DA).Finally,the performance of the proposed work is compared and validated over other state-of-the-art models concerning error measures.

Synthesis of Fractional-order PI Controllers and Fractional-order Filters for Industrial Electrical Drives

This paper introduces an electrical drives control architecture combining a fractional-order controller and a setpoint pre-filter. The former is based on a fractional-order proportional-integral(PI) unit, with a non-integer order integral action, while the latter can be of integer or non-integer type. To satisfy robustness and dynamic performance specifications, the feedback controller is designed by a loop-shaping technique in the frequency domain. In particular, optimality of the feedback system is pursued to achieve input-output tracking. The setpoint pre-filter is designed by a dynamic inversion technique minimizing the difference between the ideal synthesized command signal(i.e., a smooth monotonic response) and the prefilter step response. Experimental tests validate the methodology and compare the performance of the proposed architecture with well-established control schemes that employ the classical PIbased symmetrical optimum method with a smoothing pre-filter.

Robust PID controller design for time delay processes with peak of maximum sensitivity criteria

The motivation of this work is to obtain single PI/PID tuning formula for different types of processes with enhanced disturbance rejection performance. The proposed tuning formula consistently gives better performance in comparison to several well-known methods at the same degree of robustness for stable, integrating and unstable processes. For the selection of the closed-loop time constant(τc), a guideline is provided over a broad range of time-delay/time-constant ratios on the basis of the peak of maximum sensitivity(Ms). An analysis has been performed for the uncertainty margin with the different process parameters for the robust controller design. It gives the guideline of the Ms-value settings for the PI controller designs based on the process parameters uncertainty. Furthermore, a relationship has been developed between Ms-value and uncertainty margin with the different process parameters(k, τ and θ). Simulation study has been conducted for the broad class of processes and the controllers are tuned to have the same degree of robustness by measuring the maximum sensitivity, Ms, in order to obtain a reasonable comparison.

Comparative Study of Different Decoupling Schemes for TITO Binary Distillation Column via PI Controller

This paper presents a comparative study of different decoupling control schemes for a two-input, two-output(TITO) binary distillation column via proportional-integral(PI)controller. The key idea behind this paper is designing two novel fuzzy decoupling schemes that depend on human knowledge,instead of the system mathematical model used in conventional decoupling schemes. Based on conventional and inverted decoupling schemes, fuzzy and inverted fuzzy decoupling schemes are developed. The control effect is compared using simulation results for the proposed two schemes with conventional decoupling and inverted decoupling. The proposed fuzzy decoupling schemes are easy to realize and simple to design, besides they have a good decoupling capability. Two methods are used to prove asymptotic stability of each loop and the entire closed-loop system by applying the proposed fuzzy decoupling-based PI controller.The Wood and Berry model of a binary distillation column is used to illustrate the applicability of the proposed schemes.

Pressure Gradient Control Strategies Based on Disturbance Rejection for Typical Pharmaceutical Cleanrooms

Keeping pressure gradient is an excellent approach to prevent the reveal of airflow direction and cross infection in manufacturing circumstances of pharmaceutical cleanrooms, thus how to keep cleanroom’s pressure is critical. In the paper, we study a positive pressure pharmaceutical cleanroom system which is composed by a cleanroom and an airlock. We divide the system’s disturbances into step disturbance, ramp disturbance and sine wave disturbance. We design its pressure gradient control strategies, including CAV control, PID control and active-disturbance-rejection-control. We build the system’s model and make simulations based on Matlab/Simulink software platform. Results show that active-disturbance-rejection-control algorithm has good capabilities for shorter responding time and lower overshot of the pressure gradient. The results reveal that active-disturbance-rejection-control method has good control performances in responding time, accuracy and disturbance rejection.

Comparative Analysis between Conventional PI, Fuzzy Logic and Artificial Neural Network Based Speed Controllers of Induction Motor with Considering Core Loss and Stray Load Loss

Most of the controllers of IM （induction motor） for industrial applications have been designed based on PI controller without consideration of CL （core loss） and SLL （stray load loss）. To get the precise performances of torque as well as rotor speed and flux, the above mentioned losses should be considered. Conventional PI controller has overshoot effect at the transient period of the speed response curve. On the other hand, fuzzy logic and ANN （artificial neural network） based controllers can minimize the overshoot effect at the transient period because they have the abilities to deal with the nonlinear systems. In this paper, a comparative analysis is done between PI, fuzzy logic and ANN based speed controllers to find the suitable control strategy for IM with consideration of CL and SLL. The simulation analysis is done by using Matlab/Simulink software. The simulation results show that the fuzzy logic based speed controller gives better responses than ANN and conventional PI based speed controllers in terms of rotor speed, electromagnetic torque and rotor flux of IM.

Performance of the Boost Chopper, Comparative Study between PI Control and Neural Control to Regulate Its Output Voltage

In this study, we investigate the performance of a boost converter regulating its output voltage using two control methods: Proportional-Integral (PI) control and neural control. Both methods are implemented on a simulation platform (Matlab/Simulink) and evaluated in terms of accuracy, response speed, and robustness to disturbances. Indeed, the output voltage of converters exhibits imperfections that require a control method to optimize efficiency when applying a variable load. Results show that neural control offers superior performance in terms of accuracy and response time, with faster and more precise regulation of the output voltage. On the other hand, PI control proves to be more robust against disturbances. These findings can help guide the selection of the appropriate control method for a boost converter based on the specific requirements of each application.
