An optimum setting of PID controller for boost converter using bacterial foraging optimization technique

Abstract

In this paper, a maiden attempt is made to examine and highlight the effective application of bacterial foraging (BF) algorithm to optimize the PID controller parameters for boost converter and to compare its performance to establish its superiority over other methods. The proposed BF-PID controller maintains the output voltage constant irrespective of line and load disturbances than particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based PID controller and conventional PID controllers.
