Optimization and Implementation of Intelligent RF Remote Controlled Heater System

Abstract

© 2015 SERSC. The paper presents an intelligent remote control for heating system, which is capable of maintaining room temperature on a set value, using PID and optimizing algorithm. Heater node receives the set temperature by remote control and maintains a constant temperature by generating error signal from difference between set value and sensor value. Optimized values of KP, KI, KD are calculated by PID controller with optimizing algorithm and has been implemented on real time heater system which comprises dimmer, processing unit, RF modem and remote control consists of switch array, RF modem, LCD display and processing unit. To select optimizing algorithm comparative analysis has been done for GA and PSO. It is observed through experimental set, that as compared to conventional heater the energy saving with PSO-PID is more than PID and GA-PID to maintain a constant room temperature. It is concluded that PSO-PID shows better energy saving, when implemented on heating system.
