Abstract

This research consists of design a PID Controller by PSO algorithm. The object is to control the water level in a tank. The conventional gain tuning of PID controller such as Ziegler-Nichols Z-N method usually produces a big overshoot, and therefore modern heuristics approach such as genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are employed to enhance the capability of traditional techniques. As a comparative study in this work, PSO-based PID (PSO-PID) and ZN-PID performances will be presented. To conclude this work, a level measurement experience is implemented. This last is realized via the Arduino UNO electronic card and using an ultrasonic HC-SR04 sensor. The results of simulation are validated under the environment of programming MATLAB and those of the implementation part are validated by handling the programming language Delphi.
