signal is equal to the disturbance d for all control signals u. If G

inverse of the process, then the disturbance d will be cancelled perfectly. The filter G

is
introduced to obtain a system that is less sensitive to modelling errors. A common choice is
G

f
), where T
f
is a design parameter.

From this expression it follows that controllers of this type cancel process poles and zeros.
The internal model principle will typically give controllers of high order. By making special
assumptions it is, however, possible to obtain PI or PID controllers from the principle
An interesting feature of the internal model controller is that robustness is considered
explicitly in the design. Robustness can be adjusted by selecting the filter G
f
properly. A
trade-off between performance and robustness can be made by using the filter constant as a
design parameter. The IMC can be designed to give excellent response to set point changes.
Since the design method inherently implies that poles and zeros of the plant are cancelled, the
response to load disturbances may be poor if the cancelled poles are slow in comparison with
the dominant poles.

LITERATURE SURVEY
This literature survey can be divided in three categories:-
- Analytical methods
- Methods of optimization
- Fuzzy PID
3.1 Analytical methods:-
[1]. E. K. Ho and W. Xu, PID tuning for unstable processes based on gain and phase
margin specifications, IEEE Proc. Inst. Elect. Eng. D, vol. 145, no. 5, pp. 392396, May
1998.
Work done: -
In the paper, simple formulas are derived to tune the PID controller for unstable processes to
meet gain and phase margin specifications. The stability of the closed-loop system is ensured
by the Nyquist stability criterion. These formulas are derived for first- and second-order
processes with time delay.
Gain and phase margins have always served as important measures of robustness. It is known
from classical control that the phase margin is related to the damping of the system and
therefore can also serve as a performance measure.
Robustness is clearly a key issue for control systems, and gain and phase margins are
important indicators. Simple formulas will be derived in this paper to tune the PID controller
for unstable processes to meet gain and phase-margin specifications. The stability of the
closed-loop system is ensured by the Nyquist stability criterion. These formulas are derived
for firs -order unstable processes with time delay.
Models of controller and process considered: -

[2] G.P. Liu and S. Daley, Optimal-tuning PID control for industrial systems,
journal of control engineering practices (Elsevier), vol.9, pp-1185-1194, 2001
Work done: - Three optimal-tuning PID controller design schemes are presented for
industrial control systems in this paper. They are time domain Optimal-tuning PID control,
frequency-domain optimal-tuning PID control and multiobjective optimal-tuning PID control.
since only a small amount of information on the dynamic behaviour of the process is used, in
many situations they do not provide good enough tuning or produce a satisfactory closed-

loop response. For example, in practice, the ZieglerNichols rule often leads to a rather
oscillatory response to set point changes.
In fact, to have required system performance specifications, PID controller design of
industrial systems is complicated by a number of factors:
- The system has non-linearity such as directionally dependent actuator and plant
dynamics;
- Various uncertainties, such as modelling error and external disturbances, are involved
in the system.
- Sub-optimal tuning may be necessary to cater for changes in the system with time
such as ageing and general wear.
- Commissioning is easiest without load, but the load is often variable and affects the
dynamic performance.
The schemes described in this paper generally consist of four basic parts: model estimation,
desired system specifications, optimal tuning mechanism and an online PID controller. The
Model estimation provides a parametric/non-parametric model for the process. The desired
system specifications include a set of control requirements of the process. The optimal-tuning
mechanism finds optimal parameters for the PID controller so that the desired system
specifications are satisfied. These optimal-tuning PID control schemes are demonstrated
through their applications to a hydraulic Position control system, a rotary hydraulic speed
control system and a gasifier.
Time domain optimal tuning:
In the time domain, specifications for a control system design involve certain requirements
associated with the time response of the system. The requirements are often expressed in
terms of the standard quantities on the rise time, settling time, overshoot, peak time, and
steady state error of a step response.
The PID design technique in this technique in this method can be stated as minimization of
the cost function given by:-
J(K , K , K )
p min
i d
K ,K ,K
p
i d
____________________________________(3.6)
Statistical considerations show that the performance function J is the most appropriate choice
for data fitting when errors in the data have a normal distribution. The function J is often
preferred because it is known that the best fitting calculation is straight forward to solve.

Fig-3.1 The time-domain optimal-tuning PID control scheme.
Frequency domain tuning
In the frequency-domain, there are two quantities used to measure the stability margin of the
system. One is the gain margin, which is the factor by which the gain is less than the neutral
stability value. The other is the phase margin, which is the amount by which the phase of the
system exceeds -180
0
when the system gain is unity. The gain and phase margins are also
related to the damping of a system. In addition to the stability of a design, the system is also
expected to meet a speed-of response specification like bandwidth. The crossover frequency,
which is the frequency at which the gain is unity, would be a good measurement in the
frequency domain for the systems speed of time response.
In this he design of PID controller is given by minimization of following cost function

Multiobjective optimal-tuning PI control for a gasifier: -
In this paper this technique has been applied on the gasifier of integrated gasification
combined cycle (IGCC) power plants. A set of multiobjective performance criteria based on
the specifications for the system outputs, inputs and input rates are formulated as functions of
the parameters of the multi-input multi-output (MIMO) PI controller. The controller is
designed using multiobjective optimisation methods and also evaluated on three linearised
gasifier models.
The cost function has the form
{ } (K) =1+ Re(j) +
max
r+2m+1
j=1,2,3,....,n

The parameter vector K denotes the parameters of the PI controller, j is the jth poles of the
closed-loop system, Re(.)denotes the real part of a number, e the positive real number
represents the requirements on the closed-loop poles.
Advantage :-
These schemes can provide optimal PID parameters so that the desired system specifications
are satisfied even in case where the system dynamics are time variant or the system operating
points change.

Class of Unstable Dead Time Processes based on Stability Margins Specifications,
IEEE Mediterranean conference on control and automation, July 27-29, 2007, Athens-
Greece.
Work done: -
In this paper The control of unstable second order plus dead time (USOPDT) processes
systems using generalized PID type controllers is investigated in this paper. New tuning rules
based on the exact satisfaction of gain and phase margin specifications are proposed. The
tuning rules are given in the form of iterative algorithms, as well as in the form of accurate
analytic approximations, particularly useful for on-line tuning applications. The proposed
tuning rules are applied for the control of a gravity-biased one degree of freedom magnetic
levitation experimental system.
Unstable processes exhibit two gain margins, designated as the increasing (or upward) and
the decreasing gain margin (or gain reduction margin). Unstable processes exhibit two gain
margins, designated as the increasing (or upward) and the decreasing gain margin (or gain
reduction margin). The present paper is focused on the tuning of PID-type controllers based
on the exact satisfaction of gain and phase margin specifications. Here, the phase margin, the
increasing, as well as the decreasing gain margins, has simultaneously been taken into
account for the design of the PID controller for USOPDT process processes. Since the
transfer function of an USOPDT system includes a dead-time term, the tuning formulas for
the parameters of a PID type controller that satisfy the gain and phase margin specifications
cannot be directly expressed in an explicit analytic form. For this reason, in order to calculate
the controller parameters, iterative algorithms are derived in the paper. In addition to the
solution of the controller-tuning problem provided by iterative algorithms, an analytic
expression that approximates the exact solution quite accurately and which is particularly
useful for on-line applications is also provided for the special case where the derivative time
constant of the controller is selected equal to the stable time constant of the system. In this
special case, the USOPDT system controlled by a PID controller is equivalent to an UFOPDT
system controlled by a PI controller.
Advantages: -
Unlike in paper 1 where a proportional-integral (PI) tuning method, based only on the
phase and the increasing gain margin specifications is proposed. This method uses some
approximations of the tan
-1
function to simplify the PI controller design, but due to the less

24 DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING , NIT ALLAHABAD
accurate approximations used, it is not applicable for large values of the time delay and for
small gain and phase margin specifications. This paper presents New tuning rules based on
the exact satisfaction of gain and phase margin specifications are proposed.
[4]. M. Ramasamy, S. Sundaramoorthy, PID controller tuning for desired closed-loop
responses for SISO systems using impulse response, The journal of computer &
chemical engineering (Elsevier) vol.32 (2008), pp-1773-1788
Work done:-
In this paper, a new method of designing PID controllers using impulse response instead of
step response of the plant is presented. Treating the impulse response of the plant as a
statistical distribution, the mean and the variance of the distribution are calculated and
used in the calculation of PID controller parameters. Thus, the proposed method requires no
approximation of the plant by any model. In this paper, a direct synthesis approach to PID
controller design is proposed that makes use of Maclaurin series of the desired closed-loop
transfer function, truncated up to the first three terms. PID controller parameters are
synthesized to match the closed-loop response of the plant to the desired closed-loop
response. Formulae for the calculation of PID controller tuning parameters are derived for the
desired closed-loop response models of the types FOPDT and SOPDT. Only stable SISO
systems are considered. The PID controllers tuned result in closed-loop responses very close
to the desired response and perform equally well compared to other tuning methods reported
in literature.
Advantages:-
- The proposed paper sometimes provides responses with minimum overshoot and no
oscillations with comparable response times.
- Systems with complex dynamic characteristics such as dominant numerator dynamics
and inverse response characteristics were also considered.
- PID controllers cascaded with first- or second-order lag are used for dominant
numerator dynamic systems to overcome the problem of negative integral and/or
derivative time constants and it was found that present method performs well.
- For inverse response systems, the desired closed-loop response was chosen as the one
with inverse response characteristics and the proposed method results in controller
settings that provide a better closed-loop performance.

tuning with specified gain and phase margins for integral plus time delay processes,
Journal on ISA transactions (Elsevier), vol-50, 2011, pp- 268-276
Work done: -
In this paper, an analytical method is proposed for proportionalintegral/proportional
derivative/proportionalintegralderivative (PI/PD/PID) controller tuning with specified gain
and phase margins (GPMs) for integral plus time delay (IPTD) processes. Explicit formulas
are also obtained for estimating the GPMs resulting from given PI/PD/PID controllers. The
proposed method indicates a general form of the PID parameters and unifies a large number
of existing rules as PI/PD/PID controller tuning with various GPM specifications. The GPMs
realized by existing PID tuning rules are computed and documented as a reference for control
engineers to tune the PID controllers.
There are more than fifty PI/PD/PID tuning rules IPTD process according to the survey made
by Odwyer The actual number is even much higher Close observations reveal that many of
these rules are sharing a common form. Such observations motivate exploration of a general
solution for the PI/PD/PID controller tuning on an IPTD process in this paper.
Advantage:-
The results show that a variety of GPMs are attained by the existing rules. Since the rules
were developed based on various criteria and methods, the summary of their resulting GPMs
provides a rich reference for control engineers to tune PID controllers, helping to select a rule
or GPM for a specific design.

Work done:-
This article, we present a method for optimizing the step response of a closed-loop system
consisting of a PID controller and an unknown plant with a discrete version of Extremum
seeking (ES). Specifically, ES minimizes a cost function, which quantifies the performance
of the PID controller. ES, which is a non model-based method, iteratively modifies the
arguments of a cost function (in this application, the PID parameters) so that the output of the
cost function reaches a local minimum or local maximum.

COST FUNCTION AND PID CONTROLLERS: -
ES is used to tune the parameters of a PID controller so as to minimize a given cost function.
The cost function, which quantifies the effectiveness of a given PID controller, is evaluated at
the conclusion of a step-response experiment. We use the integrated square error (ISE) cost
function.

control effort during a step change in the reference signal. Figure 3.3 shows a block diagram

Modified Ant Colony System Algorithm, Third International Conference on Natural

Work done: -
In this paper A novel intelligent design method for PID controller with optimal self-tuning
parameters is proposed based on the modified Ant Colony System (ACS) algorithm. By
testing four different control systems with the typical characteristic such as high order, time
delays, and nonlinearity, the proposed ACS-PID algorithm has been demonstrated to have an
adaptive property and robust stability in searching for the optimal PID controller parameters.
By comparing with the PID controllers designed by use of the differential evolution (DE), the
real-coded genetic algorithm (GA), and the simulated annealing (SA), the proposed ACS-PID
controller has been demonstrated to be better than or equivalent to these PID controllers in
control performance.

Work done:-
This paper reports three advanced developments in neuro fuzzy systems for engineering
applications. The essential part of neuro-fuzzy synergisms comes from a common
framework called adaptive networks, which unifies both neural networks and fuzzy systems.
A neural network with the interpretation done by a fuzzy system is suitable for quality
monitoring of mechanical equipment or power electronics. Neural networks like self-
organizing maps or radial basis function nets can feed the data for fuzzy systems which can
control battery chargers or drilling machines. An integrated neuro-fuzzy topology is
described which represents both a complete feed forward network and a fuzzy controller.
This data driven system is very suitable for automotive control. Neuro-fuzzy systems are an
important area for technology transfer.
This paper reviews some developments in adaptive fuzzy systems that employ neural
networks learning techniques. The integration of Fuzzy and neural techniques is an active
area of research; it brings together the best features of fuzzy logic and neural networks,
providing knowledge-based system that can adapt or be organized according to sampled data.
Advantages: -
- The feature of neural networks enables the system to learn by itself: it can create new
rules and define new membership functions.
- Genetic algorithms offer a way to make the system more efficient by reducing the
number of rules and by adjusting the shape of their membership functions.

31 DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING , NIT ALLAHABAD
on matching the coefficients of corresponding powers of s in the numerator and that in the
denominator of a closed-loop system. A simple tuning parameter for PID controller is
obtained. A new exponential term approximation is introduced which can reduce the model
error. The proof shows that the system performance can be guaranteed. The fuzzy rule base is
built and fuzzy tuning of the obtained tuning parameter is applied. The result of the fuzzy
tuning method is compared with that proposed in literature under both time varying and non-
varying condition. The proposed simple fuzzy tuning method shows a better time domain
performance and good robustness under time varying condition.
In this paper, a better approximation of time delay term is proposed which can work at both
low and high frequency, and a simple fuzzy PID controller tuning method of the generalized

The control objective is to maintain the temperature of reactor at a given set point. And
design a FLC(Fuzzy PID) for change set point and for the change in input feed.(disturbance
rejection)
2 To Develop a PID tuning software (in MATLAB environment) incorporating the features
of system identification and latest PID tuning techniques.
3 To develop a technique for building a fuzzy system which from the Knowledge of input
Output data of any system can develop fuzzy membership functions and rules which
helps further in the design of FLC.
