Abstract

Abstract: In this paper a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) autotuning control strategy is presented and applied to the benchmark system presented at the 3 rd IFAC Conference on Advances in Proportional-Integral-Derivative Control (PID18). The automatic tuning of controller gains is based on a single sine test, with user-defined robustness margins guaranteed. Its performance is compared against a model based designed controller with computer-aided design tool based on frequency response (FRtool) and against the benchmark reference controller. The closed loop control simulations, applied on the benchmark, indicate that the method properly performed.
