Experimental Benchmarking of PID Empirical and Heuristic Tuning for Networked Control of Double-tank System

Real-Time Model Predictive Control of an Industrial Internet Platform

“…The process of minimizing the fitness function or called (cost function) of the GA is executed using crossover, mutation and selection to find the best values of the PID parameters [30]. The fitness function has been determined in this paper, by using the Integral of the Absolute value of the Error (IAE) performance index, which is defined in Equation 9 [31].All the integral performance indices have been benchmarked and compared to the DTS in [23]. IAE has shown better performance results compared to the ISE and ITAE for tuning the PID controller.…”

“…This paper introduces an industrial internet platform to control the DTS by the MPC in real-time operation. The performance of theMPC is compared to the PID controller which is designed inthe previous work of the authors in [23]. The PID controllers for the DTS comprising different configurations such as P, PI, PID controllers that are tuned by various empirical and heuristic methods.…”
