Abstract

Linear proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers are the most widely used process controllers in industrial applications due to their simple structures and effective performances. However, performances of these controllers reduce as the nonlinear characteristics or the system orders of the industrial processes increases. Therefore, various nonlinear PID controller models are proposed in literature to improve the control performances of linear PID controllers. In this study, a new nonlinear PID controller design approach is proposed based on the fuzzy cognitive map (FCM) method. Two different FCM based PID controller models are introduced. The first controller model is in the conventional parallel PID structure with three inputs as the error, the derivative of the error, and the integral of the error. On the other hand, the second controller model is in the conventional fuzzy PID form with two inputs as the error and the derivative of the error. In the proposed method, each input signal is firstly fuzzified by using a membership function. Then, causal relationships between inputs and the output are determined by using weight parameters. Finally, the FCM inference is performed by using an activation function. Therefore, the proposed nonlinear PID controllers have four and six tuning parameters, respectively. Simulation studies are performed on a fourth order linear system in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed FCM based PID controller models. The performances of these controller models are compared with a conventional PID controller and a fuzzy PID controller. The comparison results show that the proposed FCM based PID controller models outperform the conventional PID and fuzzy PID controllers.
