Assessment of optimization criteria in the time domain used for simulation based controller parametrization

Abstract

Controller parameterization is commonly performed by applying basic tuning rules or by carrying out not comprehensible design automatisms, which are integrated in the control system. As an alternative, a relatively new and promising approach is the application of the so-called “simulation-based optimization”. This method allows a flexible definition of different optimization criteria. Therefore, in this work, different criteria in the time domain are investigated and evaluated according to their application for the simulation-based optimization.
