Power converters are electronic devices widely applied in industry, and in recent years, for renewable energy electronic systems, they can regulate voltage levels and actuate as interfaces, however, to do so, is needed a controller. Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) are applied to power converters comparing output voltage versus a reference voltage to reduce and anticipate error. Using…

The paper presents a novel control strategy applying the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to optimize the scaling weights coefficients of the fuzzy-PID controller for the resistance furnace temperature control system, called PSO-based fuzzy-PID controller/ algorithm. The proposed PSO-based fuzzy-PID controller in this paper consist of the fuzzy-PID controller and the PSO algorithm. The proposed…

Nowadays, process automation and smart systems have gained increasing importance in a wide variety of sectors, and robotics have a fundamental role in it. Therefore, it has attracted greater research interests; among them, Underactuated Mechanical Systems (UMS) have been the subject of many studies, due to their application capabilities in different disciplines. Nevertheless, control of…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming increasingly popular for both civil and military applications. Unmanned aerial vehicles can be categorized into two categories: rotary-wing and fixed-wing. Due to its capacity to fly long distances and carry substantial payloads, fixed-wing UAVs are gaining popularity and are currently utilized for various tasks. However, when confronted with disturbances…

Industry 4.0 implementation stipulates effective actuator control. In the present work, a complex order PIa+jb Dc+jd (COPID) controller was designed for a fractional order model of a direct current (DC) motor system. For comparisons, the DC motor system model was also controlled using the conventional proportional integral (PI), proportional integral derivative (PID), proportional resonant (PR) and fractional…

4-DOF car motion simulator helps to simulate real-life experiences that drivers do not have the opportunity to access the real environment. The dynamics equation of 4-DOF car motion simulator is a very complex problem with many uncertain parameters, so it requires intelligent control algorithms. Sliding mode controller (SMC) can achieve good tracking performance and robustness…

Accurate machining control is indispensable for the smart factories of tomorrow. Variations in controller responses may cause unacceptable process deviations during machining leading to productivity losses and possible damage. In the present work, a complex order PIα+jβDγ+jθ(COPID) controller was designed to effectively control surface roughness generation while machining CNT Al-Mg hybrid composites. Performance of the…

The article considers the task of developing a fuzzy-logical PID-type controller for a nonlinear dynamic system. A feature of the structure is presented, which consists in simplifying its controller by decomposition. In the simplest version, three fuzzy controllers are used with one input and one output and separate rule bases. Parameters of fuzzy controllers are…

In this study, a control system of a feedback device of temperature sensation for myoelectric prosthetic hand users was improved. The device is mounted on a user’s upper arm in contact with the skin, and transfers the temperature sensation in the upper arm corresponding to the temperature detected by the temperature sensor at the fingertip…
