PIDNODEs: Neural ordinary differential equations inspired by a proportional–integral–derivative controller

With the development of data acquisition technology, a large amount of time-series data can be collected. However, handling too much data often leads to a waste of social resources. It becomes significant to determine the minimum data size required for training. In this paper, a framework for neural ordinary differential equations based on incremental learning is discussed, which can enhance learning ability and determine the minimum data size required in data modeling compared to neural ordinary differential equations. This framework continuously updates the neural ordinary differential equations with newly added data while avoiding the addition of extra parameters. Once the preset accuracy is reached, the minimum data size needed for training can be determined. Furthermore, the minimum data size required for five classic models under various sampling rates is discussed. By incorporating new data, it enhances accuracy instead of increasing the depth and width of the neural network. The close integration of data generation and training can significantly reduce the total time required. Theoretical analysis confirms convergence, while numerical results demonstrate that the framework offers superior predictive ability and reduced computation time compared to traditional neural differential equations.

The increasing use of battery-powered electronic devices necessitates efficient and fast charging solutions. This research aims to optimize battery charging at a charging station using the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) method integrated with Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control. This method is chosen to address overshoot issues and speed up the stabilization process. The study begins with a literature review to understand the basic theory of MPPT optimization and PID control. Subsequently, hardware and software for the battery charging station were designed and developed. An Arduino ATMega328 microcontroller was used as the main controller, with an LCD to display charging information. Tests were conducted on 12V batteries with capacities of 5Ah and 9Ah. The results showed that using PID control in MPPT optimization successfully increased battery charging efficiency. The fastest charging duration was achieved for a 12V 5Ah battery with parameters Kp=6, Ki=9, and Kd=4, where the battery was fully charged in 19 minutes, and for a 12V 9Ah battery with parameters Kp=5, Ki=3, Kd=1, where the battery was fully charged in 27 minutes. Conversely, the longest charging duration occurred for a 12V 5Ah battery with parameters Kp=5, Ki=3, Kd=1, where the battery was fully charged in 34 minutes, and for a 12V 9Ah battery with parameters Kp=2, Ki=5, Kd=1, with a charging time of 38 minutes. The designed system was able to reduce input current and increase input voltage to reach the 14.5V set point, ensuring that there was no excessive voltage and current that could prolong battery life. This research demonstrates that the PID method in MPPT optimization is effective in accelerating and optimizing battery charging. Future research is expected to further develop this method to improve battery charging efficiency and duration.

One of the key drivers in gaining the cost-effective, reliable and low-downtime Operation system for major Oil Fields is implementation of Water Injection System (WIS) with capability of online-automated regulation and control. This Paper outlines an application of Proportional, Integral, Derivative (PID) control loop algorithm for Decentralized WIS (with direct injection from Water Source wells to Injection wells by means of high capacity ESP's) used in West Qurna-2 oilfield located in Iraq, operated by LUKOIL. PID control loop algorithm has being used in the industry for the years, but not commonly applied as integral component of Water Injection System allowing to maintain optimal equipment modes. Such limited PID deployment is explained by complexity of operational parameters synchronizing for every Water Injection System component. The decentralized Water Injection System at the West Qurna 2 project is common and united pipeline system for every WellPad that provides water transfer from Water source wells (3-5 wells per WellPad) to injection wells (3-6 wells per WellPad) with line pressure of 70-130 Barg by means of high-capacity ESP equipped with VSD. Water injection process is regulated by controlling both the conventional ESP parameters (frequency, flow rate, motor current and load, Intake and discharge pressures), line pressure, required injection rate by means of flow control valves, and implemented PID control loop algorithm. This paper discusses the techniques of PID control loop algorithm application as the tool for: –Pipeline protection against high pressure without full shutdown of water injection process and–ESP automated regulation to ensure operation inside Recommended Operated Range (ROR) and smoothening of ESP mode when any changes in the system happen (i.e. shutdown of other water source well ESP's at the same WellPad or shutdown of injection well) with immediate feedback to Operator Control Room. Implemented approach allows to decrease number of ESP shutdowns and avoid high jumping of ESP loads that consequently leads to maximizing of ESP run life. Comparative examples and case studies of submersible equipment operation results before and after the application of PID regulation are specified. Mainly by implementing PID regulation and control stable and smooth operation of equipment and ESP's used for WIS (direct injection from Water Source Well to Injection Well) has been achieved. New approach for PID application as a tool for pipeline overpressure protection has been formed, which allowed to reduce Capital Expenses for the WIS construction works. Specified case can be used as example for further development and projects in the oil and gas industry.

This paper demonstrates the design and analysis of automatic generation control using intelligent genetic algorithm tuned fuzzy based controller. A two area thermal power system simulated for four different scenarios considers a reheat steam turbine in each area with Generator rate constraints. The Integral Time Squared Error (ITSE) employed to get an objective function for the optimization of controller gains. The simulation results compared with the conventional Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller, Genetic Algorithm (GA) tuned PID controller and GA tuned Fuzzy PID controller. The proposed GA tuned Fuzzy based PID Controller can generate the best performance for peak overshoot, undershoot and settling time with step load disturbances. Robustness of the performance of the proposed controller provided with system parametric uncertainties.

This paper presents the effect of Variable Damping Ratio on design of Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) Controller. This novel method is very useful because of their successful practical application, robustness and simplicity. The most popular and widely used controllers in industries are PID controllers. To find appropriate parameters, many design methods have been proposed for PID controller with having its own merits and demerits. However, it is still not easy to find appropriate parameters for the PID controllers. In this paper, PID having variable Damping ratio is developed to improve the performance of the controller. By using this method there is a 60% saving in settling time as compared to the method proposed by Ziegler Nicholas and 84.6% saving settling time as compared to technique proposed by Salem. Our method is independent of maximum overshoot which is distinguishable advantage which increases the performance of system. Based on the mathematical model of the system, controller is designed and is estimated by the MATLAB version 2013. Data for model estimation is taken from an experimental works, the performance has improved significantly of the PID controller having variable damping ratio compare to conventional PID controller.

This chapter examines the proportional integral derivative (PID) controller design. It introduces the idea of disturbance estimation that leads to an equivalent PI control system. The mathematical model used in the chapter is a first order model. For systems with higher order transfer functions, approximation is required. To design a PID controller using the estimation based approach, a second order transfer function is considered. The chapter presents the MATLAB tutorial for the implementation of disturbance observer‐based PID controller. This implementation contains the anti‐windup mechanism when the control signal reaches its maximum or minimum values. The embedded PID controller via estimation is used in the simulation studies within the Simulink environment. The chapter also explains resonant controller design and implementation with anti‐windup mechanism using the disturbance estimation approach. It presents an example to illustrate the disturbance observer‐based resonant controller design.

This paper presents a comparison of optimization for vehicle steering controls system simulation using several Artificial Intelligence (AI) for optimizing Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control parameters to suppress errors on lateral motion and the yaw motion of vehicles. This paper compares five kinds of tuning methods of parameter for PID controller, among other are Firefly Algorithm (FA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Bat Algorithm (BA) and Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA). The vehicles are represented in the model vehicle with 10 degrees of Freedom of vehicle dynamics system. The simulation results show that the PID control tuned by AI in the vehicle steering control system can adjust the plant output to the desired trajectory so that the stability of the vehicle is maintained. Vehicle yaw error and lateral error can be reduced by using ICA to determine PID parameter. The main advantage of proposed optimization is faster and more accurate compared with PID controller. So the error of the controller is reduced too. The results obtained are of vehicle motion can be maintained in accordance with the desired trajectory with smaller error and was able to achieve higher speeds than with the control system using optimized without parameters. This paper only deals with software simulation to proof the effect of AI optimization. The hardware implementation will be investigated in the next future.

Remote areas need to prioritize the pumping of water for agricultural and drinking purposes. Water pumping is a promising and advantageous application of renewable energy sources, such as hybrid energy sources that combine photovoltaic and wind power. A novel approach to effective flow control in hybrid PV and wind-powered water pumping systems is presented in this research. To optimize a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller that governs motor speed, the proposed approach combines an optimized control algorithm, Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC), and Fuzzy Q-learning. The main goal is to use UPFC to identify and mitigate Power Quality (PQ) issues. To achieve optimal UPFC operation under a range of solar and wind energy conditions, the Kookaburra Optimization Algorithm (KOA) is utilized. Fuzzy Q-learning provides adaptive parameter tuning based on real-time feedback and system dynamics, enabling the PID controller to be tuned online. Moreover, the detailed models of wind and photovoltaic systems highlight their influence on water pumping technology. A PID controller controlled by the KOA algorithm powers the UPFC, a crucial part of the system. The KOA is applied to optimize PID parameters for the UPFC, resulting in a unique contribution that emulates the hunting behavior of kookaburras for both local and global exploration. The PID controller can be easily adjusted online by the Fuzzy Q-Learning algorithm, which improves system stability when reacting to changing energy and environmental conditions. The combination of the Kookaburra Optimization Algorithm, PID control, and UPFC offers a sophisticated and flexible approach to the best possible operation of water pumping systems. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is successfully decreased by the proposed method, indicating better waveform quality and fewer harmonic components in the electrical system. The system’s ability to maintain a high-quality power supply is reflected in the THD value of 3.92% at 50Hz.

The aim of this research is to develop PID (proportional integral derivative) controllers for a variable load two-area intelligent power system (multi-area intelligent power system) in the context of healthcare data analysis. PID controllers are used in the present healthcare business to improve the healthcare industry. It is still debatable how the settings should be changed to create a PID controller that is dependable, adaptable, and effective. In this research, a better PID gain is demonstrated using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The automatic generation control (AGC) for a two-area intelligent power system in healthcare industry has been built using a PID controller and a PSO-based method. To improve frequency response and settling time of healthcare industry equipment in accident and emergency cases (A and E), a PSO-based PID controller generates and transmits the two control signals to the two regions for the algorithm convergence in emergency cases as per MATLAB/Simulink result.

Superheat steam temperature control is critical to the normal and optimal operation of a power plant. Usually, cascade proportional integral derivative (PID) control system is introduced to regulate the superheat temperature with the PID parameters fixed constant. However, Due to the gains and time constants of the controlled plant change significantly with disturbances, the control effects of the conventional PID are not ideal. In this paper, a new adaptive control strategy is proposed to improve conventional superheat steam temperature control. Based on cascade PID control system, recursive least squares (RLS) method is used to identify the plant parameters and then genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to adjust the parameters of the PID controllers. MATLAB simulation investigation indicates that, compared to the parameter fixed PID system, GA-self-tuned adaptive control system is able to reject endogenous and exogenous disturbances more effectively and rapidly, thus has better self-adaptation capability and robustness.

This study presents the development of dead-time compensator with Proportional Integral-Derivative (PID) controller and their implementation in real-time using the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) on a heater-furnace system that constitute the temperature process. Though PID controller is effective to most of the processes, it has draw backs when used to control the processes with significant dead time. Therefore to eliminate the effects of long dead time, the dead-time compensator combined with PID is proposed. The control equation for the proposed dead time compensator is developed using the mathematical model of heater-furnace system and ladder logic program is created in GE Fanuc Versamax PLC. The PID controller is tuned using process reaction curve method and programmed in PLC. The proposed controller has an outer loop control mechanism with dead time compensator which feeds the inner loop PID controller. The effects of dead time on the performance of PID controller are eliminated through the outer loop control mechanism whose output does not contain modelling errors. The results of the proposed dead-time compensator with PID are compared with the results of the conventional PID controller without dead time compensation for both steady state response and servo-regulatory response. The results of the proposed controller show better improvement in the time domain specifications compared to conventional PID controller.

Measurement noise is an integral part of collecting data of a physical process. Thus, noise removal is necessary to draw conclusions from these data, and it often becomes essential to construct dynamical models using these data. We discuss a methodology to learn differential equation(s) using noisy and irregularly sampled measurements. In our methodology, the main innovation can be seen in the integration of deep neural networks with the neural ordinary differential equations (ODEs) approach. Precisely, we aim at learning a neural network that provides (approximately) an implicit representation of the data and an additional neural network that models the vector fields of the dependent variables. We combine these two networks by constraints using neural ODEs. The proposed framework to learn a model describing the vector field is highly effective under noisy measurements. The approach can handle scenarios where dependent variables are unavailable at the same temporal grid. Moreover, a particular structure, e.g. second order with respect to time, can easily be incorporated. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for learning models using data obtained from various differential equations and present a comparison with the neural ODE method that does not make any special treatment to noise. Additionally, we discuss an ensemble approach to improve the performance of the proposed approach further.

Now -a-days PID (proportional-integral-derivative) controller is used in every type of small or large industries. For this the digital PID controller is so popular. But it is necessary to design and tune the PID controller in a proper method for applying the plant. The paper represents a method of tuning a digital proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. The name of the method is Steepest Gradient Descent Method (SDGM). It is an iterative method. The SDGM method is very simple, easy to use and each iteration is very fast. It is also a guaranteed method to find the minima through numerous times of iterations as long as it exists. By applying this optimization method PID controller is tuned both of digital and analog process. In the paper by applying the method of some plant the comparison result of analog and digital are shown. From the comparison it is found that the digital scheme is preferable than analog scheme. Index Terms—PID controller, SDGM. I. INTRODUCTION The fi rst controllers with proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) feedback control action became commercially available during the 1930s. The 1940s saw widespread acceptance in industry of pneumatic PID controllers, and their electronic counterparts entered the market in the 1950s. Digital hardware has been routinely used since the 1980s with significant impact on process control. Even several decades after three-mode controllers were introduced; the vast majority of controllers used in the chemical process industry are based on PI/PID models (1). The popularity of these controllers has led to research on tuning methods, resulting in hundreds of publications on this topic. Ziegler-Nichols tuning relations and Cohen-Coon tuning rules are among the earliest published methods. Tuning relations based on error criteria are more recent model-based tuning rules, which offer improvements over earlier tuning methods. Tuning rules also exist for unstable processes as well as for tuning in the presence of plant model mismatch (2). Despite the numerous approaches available for controller tuning, surveys indicate that poorly tuned control loops are abundant in industry. In general, the gain scheduling of the PID controllers is an optimization problem. The method of steepest descent (SDGM) is also known as The Gradient Descent, which is basically an optimization algorithm to find the local minimum of a function. By applying the SDGM to the PID controller, the controller is tuned and applied to some conventional plant then the digital and analog results are compared to the paper.

PID regulators have been famous within professionals and widely accepted for dominant industrial systems where the main objective is the performance. Industrial processes are generally complex, containing interacting multi input multi output (MIMO) controller loops. Operators of industrial processes have a good expertise in PID controller tuning.
