Obtaining Optimal PIDA Controller for Temperature Control of Electric Furnace System via Flower Pollination Algorithm
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: The electric furnace temperature control system is one of the real-world second-order systems plus time delay (SOSPD) widely used as the process control in industries. It is normally operated under the PID feedback control loop. The PIDA controller, however, performed better response than the PID controller for higher order plant. In this paper, an optimal PIDA controller design for the electric furnace temperature control system is presented. Regarding to modern optimization context, the flower pollination algorithm (FPA) which is one of the most efficient population-based metaheuristic optimization techniques is applied to search for the appropriate PIDA’s parameters. The proposed FPA-based PIDA design framework is considered as the constrained optimization problem. System responses obtained by the PIDA controller designed by the FPA will be compared with those obtained by the PID controller also designed by the FPA. As results, it was found that the PIDA can provides the very satisfactory tracking and regulating responses of the electric furnace temperature control system superior to the PID, significantly.
