This article proposes tuning of PID controllers through optimization techniques known as collective intelligence algorithms: the colony of ants and cuckoo search, applied to the temperature control of a PCT-2 plant. The dynamic behavior analysis of the controllers tuned by the application of collective intelligence algorithms were performed in comparison to a controller tuned by the genetic algorithm method and a controller designed with the PID tuner tool, obtaining favorable results in the tuning of the algorithms cuckoo search and ants colony in comparison to the PID tuner method and with a faster execution speed than the genetic algorithms method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
