Intelligent PID Controller Tuning for Higher Order Process System

This paper demonstrates the implementation of PID controller tuning using evolutionary technique which is Genetic Algorithm (GA). The optimal PID control scheme is applied to higher order system. The execution of this evolutionary strategy is evaluated by setting the objective function as mean square error (MSE), Integral time absolute error (ITAE) and Integral absolute error (IAE) one at a time. This technique will determine the global minimum value of its objective function and hence gives the optimal value of the gain parameters. The PID controller performance analysis using ZieglerNichols Tuning methodology and Genetic Algorithm is also demonstrated in this paper.
