The present paper's goal is to offer to the user a method which are similar to the "Plug and Play" idea in the world of "Control": the auto-tuning control structure of a twinrotor aerodynamical system, a highly nonlinear, multi input multi output system. Knowing the fact that in industrial applications PID controllers are widely used, the authors uses a generalized PID: a fractional order PID controller. The controller parameters are tuned based on a novel, simplified algorithm using vector theory. Experimental results using a laboratory scale equipment reveal that the suggested control approach is effective and near optimal.
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.
