Designing Optimal PID Controller Using Modified Particle Swarm Optimization

Author

Abstract

In this paper, designing optimal PID controller using modified particle swarm optimization is presented. The advantage of this new method compared to conventional methods of controller design is that it is not limited to a certain class of systems. In designing phase, sum of rising time, settling time, overshoot and integral of squared-error are minimized. There kind of particle swarm optimization algorithms such as ePSO, mPSO and sPSO are compared with other methods of optimization including Ant Colony. The results clearly show how superior the new proposed method is to the other methods. The proposed method differs from the other optimization algorithms in such a way that, the proposed algorithm does not need a velocity equation. The position of the particle is updated directly by extrapolating the current particle position with the global best particle position obtained so far.
