Expert systems have a variety of potential applications in process control. The application domain ranges from the entire plant system to a single loop system. Both, off-line and real-time problems may be realized. In this paper, expert system is employed as a part of a single control loop of PID Controller with self-tuning. The goal of expert system in the present study is to build up the necessary process knowledge required for efficient control. In order to achieve this process, the development of an expert system and a prototype model is carried out. OPS5, a rule based production system, is utilized in experiment, and common LISP is used for man-machine interface.

This paper presents a neural network based self-tuning fuzzy PID control scheme with variable learning rate for induction motor speed control. When induction motor is continuously used long time, its electrical and mechanical Parameters will change, which degrade the Performance of PID controller considerably. This Paper re-analyzes the fuzzy controller as conventional PID controller structure, introduces a single neuron with a back-propagation learning algorithm to tune the control parameters, and proposes a variable learning rate to improve the control performance. Proposed scheme is simple in structure and computational burden is small. The simulation using Matlab/Simulink and the experiment using dSPACE(DS1102) board are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

This paper describes a neural network based fuzzy PID control scheme. The PID controller is being widely used in industrial applications. However, it is difficult to determine the appropriated PID gains in nonlinear systems and systems with long time delay and so on. In this paper, we re-analyzed the fuzzy controller as conventional PID controller structure, and proposed a neural network based self tuning fuzzy PID controller of which output gains were adjusted automatically. The tuning parameters of the proposed controller were determined on the basis of the conventional PID controller parameters tuning methods. Then they were adjusted by using proposed neural network learning algorithm. Proposed controller was simple in structure and computational burden was small so that on-line adaptation was easy to apply to. The experiment on the magnetic levitation system, which is known to be heavily nonlinear, showed the proposed controller's excellent performance.

In these days, there are a lot of studies in the port automation, for example, unmanned container trasporter, unmanned gantry crain, and automatic terminal operation systems and so on. In terms of loading and unloading equipments. we can consider container transporter. This paper describes the automatic control for the UCT(unmanned container transporter), especially steering control systems. UCT is now operated on ECT port in Netherland and tested on PSA ports in Singapore. So we present a design on the controller using neural network PID(NNPID) controller to control the steering system and we use the neural network self-tuner to tune the PID parameters. The computer simulations show that our proposed controller has better performances than those of the other.

In this paper, a DC converter to improve the performance of Power LED system is discussed. The mathematical model of PWM converter power stage using 3-Terminal PWM cell is introduced for power LED system. A controller for DC converter system is used as a self-tunning regulator with a recursive least-squares algorithm. Minimum variance control method is used as a control law. Experiment results verified that proposed control system could improve the performance of Power LED system.

The Self Tuning Regulator(STR) method which is an approach of adaptive control theory, is ap-plied to design the fully automatic power controller of the nonlinear reactor model. The adaptive control represent a proper approach to design the suboptimal controller for nonlinear, time-varying stochastic systems. The control system is based on a third­order linear model with unknown, time-varying parameters. The updating of the parameter estimates is achieved by the recursive extended least square method with a variable forgetting factor. Based on the estimated parameters, the output (average coolant temperature) is predicted one-step ahead. And then, a weighted one-step ahead controller is designed so that the difference between the output and the desired output is minimized and the variation of the control rod position is small. Also, an integral action is added in order to remove the steady­state error. A nonlinear M plant model was used to simulate the proposed controller of reactor power which covers a wide operating range. From the simulation result, the performances of this controller for ramp input (increase or decrease) are proved to be successful. However, for step input this controller leaves something to be desired.

In this paper, a DC servo motor position control system based on acceleration control is proposed. The proposed control system consists of an acceleration controller and an auto-tuqing fuzzy PID controller. The auto-tuning fuzzy PID controller provides corrections for an acceleration reference to remove the effect of parametric uncertainties. And it comprises of the expert system which performs the automatic tuning of the PID controller parameters and the conventional PID controller. Expermental results demonstrate strate thi~tth e proposed overall control system has robust properties and good control performances with regard to unmeasurable disturbances and parameter variations. Therefore, the proposed control scheme enhances the applicability of an acceleration control approach and especially performs accurate position control under such an operating environment that model uncertainties exist and/or load, etc. change significantly.

This paper presents an automatic tuning method for parameters of a multivaiable self-tuning velocity-type PID controller which adapts to changes in the system parameters with time delays and noises. The velocity-type PID control structure is determined in the process of minimizing the variance of the auxiliarly output, and self-tuning effect is achieved through the recursive least square algorithm at the parameter estimation stage and also through the Robbins-Monro algorithm at the stage of optiminzing the design parameters of the controller. The proposed PID type multivariable self-tuning method is simple andeffective compared with other esisting multivariable self-tuning methods. Computer simulation has shown that the proposed algorithm is beter than the trial-and-error method in the tracking performance.

One of the advantages of the well-known PID controller is that it is a sufficiently flexible controller for many applications. But, when the plant parameters and disturbances are unknown or change with time, it is desirable to make automatic tuning of PID controller in order to achieve an acceptable level of performance of the control system. This paper presents a reformulation of the self-tuning pole-zero placement controller subject to some conditions and restrictions. It has the structure of a digital PID controller and is based on Vogel and Edgar's pole-zero placement design method. Various properties of this self-tuning PID controller are described and illustrated by simulation examples.

This paper presents a design method of synchronous generator excitation controller using self-tuning PID algorithm. Controller parameter is determined by using adaptive control theory in order to maintain optimal operation of generator under the various operating conditions. To determine the optimal parameter of controller. minimum variance algorithm using the recursive leastsquare(RLS) indentification method is adopted and the difference between the speed deviation with weighted factor and voltage deviation is used as the input signal of adaptive controller, which provides good damping and conversion characteristics. The results tested on a single machine infinite bus system verify that the proposed controller has better dynamic performances than conventional controller.
