Description
Summary:In this paper, two optimization techniques of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Firefly Algorithm (FA) is used to obtain the optimal PID control parameters. To represent the model of the system, system identification with ARX model structure is developed. The results are determined by analysis the step response characteristic of the system. It was observed that the performances of PID controller with PSO optimized parameters perform well in position tracking of the pneumatic actuator system.
