Artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms and the ant colony optimization algorithm have become a highly effective tool for solving hard optimization problems. As their popularity has increased, applications of these algorithms have grown in more than equal measure. While many of the books available on these subjects only provide a cursory discussion of theory, the present book gives special emphasis to the theoretical background that is behind these algorithms and their applications. Moreover, this book introduces a novel real time control algorithm, that uses genetic algorithm and ant colony optimization algorithms for optimizing PID controller parameters. In general, the present book represents a solid survey on artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms and the ant colony optimization algorithm and introduces novel practical elements related to the application of these methods to process system control.

Structured Controllers for Uncertain Systems A Stochastic Optimization Approach


Free Download Structured Controllers for Uncertain Systems: A Stochastic Optimization Approach By Rosario Toscano (auth.)
2013 | 298 Pages | ISBN: 1447151879 | PDF | 4 MB
Structured Controllers for Uncertain Systems focuses on the development of easy-to-use design strategies for robust low-order or fixed-structure controllers (particularly the industrially ubiquitous PID controller). These strategies are based on a recently-developed stochastic optimization method termed the "Heuristic Kalman Algorithm" (HKA) the use of which results in a simplified methodology that enables the solution of the structured control problem without a profusion of user-defined parameters. An overview of the main stochastic methods employable in the context of continuous non-convex optimization problems is also provided and various optimization criteria for the design of a structured controller are considered; H∞, H2, and mixed H2/H∞ each merits a chapter to itself. Time-domain-performance specifications can be easily incorporated in the design.

Event-Based PID Controllers with Fixed Threshold Sampling Strategies


Free Download Event-Based PID Controllers with Fixed Threshold Sampling Strategies by Oscar Miguel-Escrig
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 178 Pages | ISBN : 3031625048 | 24.9 MB
This book offers a detailed examination of event-based control systems, exploring their design, implementation, and robustness. It addresses various sampling strategies such as Symmetric-Send-On-Delta (SSOD) and Regular Quantization with Hysteresis (RQH), providing insights into their application in networked control systems. Key topics include: the theoretical foundations of Event-Based Control under the above-mentioned sampling schemes, robustness analysis against limit cycle oscillations, and tuning methodologies for PID controllers considering continuous and discrete implementations. This book also evaluates classical tuning rules for event-based control from the point of view of the robustness, which are assessed through new robustness measures. Further, the implementation of Event-Based PID Controllers is demonstrated in physical systems using the standard IEC 61499. All in all, this outstanding PhD thesis provides readers with new schemes and techniques for designing robust Event-Based Controllers that can be better adapted to various industrial settings considering their specific needs.

English | 2009 | pages: 549 | ISBN: 1848290101, 8122439896 | PDF | 7,0 mb
The emerging technology of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) enables planning and operation of power systems at minimum costs, without compromising security. This is based on modern high power electronic systems that provide fast controllability to ensure ‘flexible’ operation under changing system conditions. This book presents a comprehensive treatment of the subject by discussing the operating principles, mathematical models, control design and issues that affect the applications. The concepts are explained often with illustrative examples and case studies. In particular, the book presents an in-depth coverage of:
