Controller design and choosing a particular control scheme is an
important task in a particular control application. Different control
schemes are used in process control for the purpose of controlling a
particular application. Tuning of PID controller for first order, second
order and third order process has been done using various tuning
methods. In this book the performance evaluation of different control
schemes using various conventional tuning methods such as Ziegler
Nichols, Relay auto tuning, Modulus Optimum, and Computational
Optimization have been compared. PID controller tuning using Particle
Swarm Optimization (PSO) has also been done in this book. The proposed
schemes have been implemented using MATLAB 2011b.
