Co-ordinate tuning of PID parameters for dynamical systems

Abstract

This paper proposes a co-ordinate tuning strategy for PID control parameters in achieving both the robustness and better transient characteristics. Modified Ziegler-Nichols, Bode-Integrals and Iso-damping are well known methods for tuning of PID parameters in meeting the desirable. In order to achieve the robustness to gain variations and better transient properties, a new control strategy known as co-ordinate control structure is derived by incorporating the important features of Iso-damping and Bode integral methods. In this process a weightage factor μ is obtained optimally by minimizing Integral Time Absolute Error through Genetic Algorithm (GA). The effectiveness of the proposed scheme has been illustrated with typical systems.
