A comparative study of conventional PID and intelligent Fuzzy-PID FordDC motor speed control
The development of a Self Tuning Fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller was done to be compared with the conventional controller that is being used in a direct current (DC) motor. Simulation study is used to overcome the appearance of nonlinearities and uncertainties in the system with the proposed controller for the armature voltage controlled DC motors. Each parameter of the Fuzzy-PID controller is self tuned using 49 fuzzy rules in the fuzzy logic controller. The proportional, integral and derivative (KP,KI,KD) gains of the PID controller is being tuned by the controller. Different types of membership functions are evaluated in the fuzzy control and the best performance will be used in Fuzzy-PID for comparative analysis with the conventional PID.The FIS editor from MATLAB defines the membership function and the rules. Load disturbances from a variety of speed response and the step response are simulated from different scenarios.The Fuzzy PID has resulted to be more robust and it is insensitive to variations in the parameter
Enhance Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter with Artificial Intelligence Control
This paper proposed a 7-level Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter (CHBMI) with two diffenrent controller, ie, PID and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) controller to improve the output voltage performance and achieve a lower Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). A PWM generator is connected to the 7-level CHBMI to provide switching of the MOSFET. The reference signal waveform for the PWM generator is set to be sinusoidal to obtain an ideal AC output voltage waveform from the CHBMI. By tuning the PID controller as well as the self-learning abilities of the ANN controller, switching signals towards the CHBMI can be improved. Simulation results
from the general CHBMI together with the proposed PID and ANN controller based 7-level CHBMI models will be compared and discussed to verify the proposed ANN controller based 7-level CHBMI achieved a lower output voltage THD value with a better sinusoidal output performanc
