Position tracking of ML system using CSA based PID controller

Abstract

The classical proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers are still use in various applications in industry. Magnetic levitation (ML) systems are rigidly nonlinear and sometimes unstable systems. Due to inbuilt nonlinearities of ML systems, tracking of position of ML Systems is still difficult. For the tracking purpose of position, PID controller parameters are found by choosing Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) of optimization. The ranges of parameters are customized by z-n method of parameters. Simulation results show the tracking of position of ML systems using conventional and optimized parameters obtained with the CSA based controller.
