Design of PIDA Controller Using Bat Algorithm for AVR Power System

Abstract

In this article, a new proportional, integral, derivative, and acceleration (PIDA) controller for an automatic voltage regulator power system is presented. The controller parameters are designed by considering as an optimization with minimization of square error using bat algorithm. The response of the bat algorithm optimized PIDA (BA-PIDA) controller are observed and compared to the controllers in the literature. The superiority is validated in terms of performance indices (ITAE, IAE and ISE).
