How A PID Controlling A Nonlinear Plant

Abstract

This paper investigates the weakness of feedback controller to find the best parameter of PID controller of a nonlinear inverted pendulum system (NL-IPS). Stability and performance analysis of a NL-IPS are carried out with combination of feedback and PID controllers. It is found that the NL-IPS which was stabilized by feedback controller provides some weakness. By addition of PID controller on closed loop NL-IPS will provide better tracking and response on zero steady state error.
