FOPID Controller Optimization Employing PSO and TRSBF Function

摘要

This paper presents a technique of PID controller tuning for fractional order industrial process and proposes a Time-Response Specification Based Fitness (TRSBF) function required by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for the controller tuning. The results are compared with the conventional Integral Time Absolute Error (ITAE) based and analytic controllers. The performance and robustness is analyzed in time-domain and frequency-domain to establish the suitability of proposed fitness function. MATLAB/Simulink has been employed for PSO based tuning algorithm validation and comparison of parameters like peak overshoot, settling time, disturbance rejection time, stability in frequency domain, etc.
