In this study, 2 degree of freedom PID controller is added to the conventional feed-forward controller for the purpose of improving its limitations such as set-point of tracking performance and disturbance suppression performance in the conventional PID controller. And the controller parameters optimization as a Real Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) is used. Simulation and experiments verify the performance of the controller.

In this study, genetic algorithm mixed binary and real encoding is proposed to deal with design variables of various types. And that is applied to optimum design of Multi-stage gear drive. Design of pressure vessel which is mixed discrete and continuous variables is applied to verify reasonableness of proposed genetic algorithm. The proposed genetic algorithm is applied for the gear ratio optimization and the volume minimization of geared motor which is used in field. In result, it shows that the volume has decreased about 8% compared with the existing geared motor.

This paper deals with trajectory control of computer simulated mobile robot via fuzzy control. Mobile robot is controlled by Mamdani type fuzzy controller. Inputs of the fuzzy controller are angle between mobil robot and target, changed angle and output is the steering angle, which is control input. Fuzzy rules have seven rules and are selected by human experiential knowledge. Also we propose a scaling factors tuning scheme which is the another focus in designing fuzzy controller. In this paper, we adapt the RCGA which is well known in parameter optimization to adjust scaling factors. The simulation results show that the fuzzy control effectively realize trajectory stabilization of the mobile robot along a given reference target from various initial steering angles.

Real-coded genetic algorithm(RCGA) has better performances than conventional genetic algorithm about dealing with a large domain, the precision and the constrain problem. Also the RCGA has advantage of operation time because it doesn't have to following about decoding operation. In this paper the ranges of PID gains are limited based on Ziegler-Nichols method to consider a long operation time problem that is the main problem of genetic algorithm. Result shows proposed method represents better performance without ignored about result of ZN tuning method and reduces the calculation time.

This paper presents a methodology on automation of a trailer type vehicle which consists of two parts: a tractor and a trailer. Backward moving and parking control is very important to automate this type of vehicle. It is difficult to control the motion such a trailer vehicle whose dynamics in non-holonomic. Therefore, in this paper, the modeling and parameter estimation of the system using a RCGA(real-coded genetic algorithm) is proposed and a backward path tracking control algorithm is then obtained. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A photovoltaic power generation system is an infinite and clean energy system. Recently. because of the realization of high efficiency and low cost PV modules, the studies on the PV system have extensively increased. In this paper. we present an online scheme for parameter estimation of solar cell, based on the model adjustment technique and a real-coded genetic algorithm(RCGA). The ideal diode model and the diode model with series and shunt resistors are used to estimate their parameters, Simulation works using field data in the form of a V-I characteristic curve are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents a scheme for the parameter estimation and stabilization of unstable systems, such as inverted pendulum systems. First a stable feedback loop is constructed for an inverted pendulum system and then its parameters are estimated based on input-output data, a real-coded genetic algorithm(RCGA) and the model adjustment technique. Then, a PI-type LQ control scheme is designed based on the estimated model. The performance of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated through a set of simulation and experiment.

The increasing technological demands of today call for complex systems, which in turn involve a series of optimization problems with some equality or inequality constraints. In this paper, we presents a real-coded genetic algorithm(RCGA) as an optimization tool which is implemented by three genetic operators based on real coding representation. Through a lot of simulation works, the optimum settings of its control parameters are obtained on the basis of global off-line robustness for use in off-line applications. Two optimization problems are Presented to illustrate the usefulness of the RCGA. In case of a constrained problem, a penalty strategy is incorporated to transform the constrained problem into an unconstrained problem by penalizing infeasible solutions.

PID controller is widely used in industries until now. The reason is that the structure is very simple, and that it is easily estimated in terms of hardware, and that it doesn't need a lot of parameters which should be tuned. Therefore, DC motor also uses PID controller. In this paper, a method is proposed to identify parameters of a DC motor system using a RCGA prior to design of PID controller. The model identified using a RCGA is verified through simulations.

The conventional PID controller has been widely used in many industrial control system because engineers can easily understand how to deal with three parameters of PID controller. The conventional tuning methods, however, have a tendency depend on experience and experiment. In this paper a real-coded genetic algorithm is used to search for the optimal parameters of PID controller for marine diesel engine. Simulation results compared with conventional PID controller tuning methods show the effectiveness and good performance of proposed scheme.
