Performance analysis of IMC-PID controller on PCT-14 air pressure control system
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This research presents a comprehensive performance analysis of the IMC-PID controller implemented in the PCT-14 air pressure control system, a platform ideal for experimenting with various control methodologies. The study aims to compare the effectiveness of the IMC-PID controller with IMC-PIDF, Good Gain - PID and Skogestad's - PI controllers, focusing on response time characteristics based on the simulation of the PCT-14's transfer function. Performance analysis is conducted by comparing system response characteristics to set point changes, including rise time, overshoot, settling time, peak time, and steady-state error. To validate the controller's effectiveness, performance index value such as Integrated Absolute Error (IAE) was calculated. The research findings indicate that the IMC-based PID controller outperforms the Good Gain - PID, Skogestad-PI, and IMC-PIDF controllers in handling set point changes.•Simulating the transfer function of the PCT-14 air pressure control system to examine the response time characteristics of the IMC-PID, IMC-PIDF, Good Gain - PID, and Skogestad's - PI controllers.•Conducting a performance analysis by comparing system response characteristics in response to changes in set point values.•Calculating performance index value, IAE to assess the controllers' effectiveness.
