Abstract
In this paper, the authors propose a novel design approach for the PID controller in the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) system using the Naked Mole Rat Algorithm (NMRA). The proposed algorithm has been extensively tested through MATLAB simulation studies. These studies have confirmed the effectiveness of the NMRA tuning method in achieving improved AVR system performance compared to the other tuning methods in the literature. In addition to performance evaluation, this article also investigates the robustness of the AVR system with an NMRA-tuned PID controller. This was achieved by conducting a disk-based stability analysis under model uncertainty. Also, the proposed NMRA-PID controller has a higher gain change tolerance than the TSA-PID controller for the given perturbations in the feedback loop of the AVR system for the specified values of disk size and skew. By studying the performance and robustness of the AVR system with an NMRA-tuned PID controller and comparing it with other techniques, this study provides insights into the benefits and capabilities of the proposed approach.
