Performance Comparison of Two Controllers on a Nonlinear System

Abstract

Various systems and instrumentation use auto tuning techniques in their operations. For example, audio processors, designed to control pitch in vocal and instrumental operations. The main aim of auto tuning is to conceal off-key errors, and allowing artists to perform genuinely despite slight deviation off-key. In this paper two Auto tuning control strategies are proposed. These are Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) control and Model Predictive Control (MPC). The PID and MPC controller's algorithms amalgamate the auto tuning method. These control strategies ascertains stability, effective and efficient performance on a nonlinear system. The paper test and compare the efficacy of each control strategy. This paper generously provides systematic tuning techniques for the PID controller than the MPC controller. Therefore in essence the PID has to give effective and efficient performance compared to the MPC. The PID depends mainly on three terms, the P () gain, I () gain and lastly D () gain for control each playing unique role while the MPC has more information used to predict and control a system.
