A comparative study on a novel model‐based PID tuning and control mechanism for nonlinear systems

Abstract This work presents a novel predictive model‐based proportional integral derivative (PID) tuning and control approach for unknown nonlinear systems. For this purpose, an NARX model of the plant to be controlled is obtained and then it used for both PID tuning and correction of the control action. In this study, for comparison, neural networks (NNs) and support vector machines (SVMs) have been used for modeling. The proposed structure has been tested on two highly nonlinear systems via simulations by comparing control and convergence performances of SVM‐ and NN‐Based PID controllers. The simulation results have shown that when used in the proposed scheme, both NN and SVM approaches provide rapid parameter convergence and considerably high control performance by yielding very small transient‐ and steady‐state tracking errors. Moreover, they can maintain their control performances under noisy conditions, while convergence properties are deteriorated to some extent due to the measurement noises.
