Automatic tuning of PID controllers using a neuro-genetic system

Neural networks and genetic algorithms have been in the past successfully applied, separately, to controller turning problems. In this paper we propose to combine its joint use, by exploiting the nonlinear mapping capabilites of neural networks to model objective functions, and to use them to supply their values to a genetic algorithm which performs on-line minimization.

New methods for PID autotuning

In this paper a recent approach for PID autotuning, involving neural networks, is ferther developed. To make this approach adaptive, optimal PID values must be known on-line. In this paper neural network models of tuning criteria, together with the use of genetic algorithms, are proposed to solve this problem.

Neural network assisted autotuning of industrial PID controllers

A recent servey (1) has reported that the majority of industrial loops are controlled by PID-type controllers and many of the PID controllers in operation are poorly tuned. poor PID tuning is due to the lack of a simple and practical tuning method for avarage users, and due to the tedious procedurs involved in the tuning and retuning of PID controllers.

Comparison of alternative approaches to neural network PID autotuning

In this paper, a scheme for the automatic tuning of PID controllers on-line, with the assistance of trained neural networks, is proposed. The alternative approaches are presented and compared.

Neural networks assisted PID autotuning

A scheme of automatically tuning the existing industrial PID controllers using neural networks is proposed. The scheme estimates the process critical data on-line in proportional control mode.

Connectionist approach to PID autotuning

Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) regulators are standard building blocks for industrial automation. The popularity of these regulatores comes from their rebust performance in a wide range of operationg conditions, and also from their functional simplicity, which makes them suitable for manual tuning.
