PID Optimization with Regulation-Based Formulas and Improved Differential Evolution Algorithm

Abstract:

Regulation-based formulas and improved Differential Evolution(DE) algorithm is used to optimize PID parameters. In order to improve the global search ability and the convergence rate of the common DE algorithm, self-adaptive method is introduced to obtain DE parameters. On the other hand, initial population quality of DE algorithm has important influence on convergence of the algorithm. So the regulation-based formulas are used to guide the production of initial population, which is good to improve the convergence rate and realize obtaining of PID parameters completely adaptive without any personal experience. The simulation is developed on steam temperature system of cycle fluidized bed boiler with serious parameter uncertainties and many disturbance and long-time delay. The results show that the improved DE algorithm has higher optimal speed, small amount of calculation and effective optimization of parameters. The proposed method has better control quality and system robustness.
