ABSTRACT
Many areas in power systems require solving one or more nonlinear optimization
problems. Particle swarm optimization (PSO), part of the swarm intelligence family, is
known to effectively solve large-scale nonlinear optimization problems. This paper
presents a detailed overview of the basic concepts of PSO and its variants. The proposed
method utilizes the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm approach to generate the optimal tuning
parameters. The paper deals with optimal tuning of proportional integral derivative (PID) controller for
controlling the output obtained and hence to minimize the integral of absolute errors. The main objective is
to obtain a stable, robust and controlled system by tuning the PID controller using Particle Swarm
The Electric power grid is the largest man-made machine in the world. It consists of
synchronous generators, transformers, transmission lines, switches and relays, active/reactive
compensators, and controllers. Various control objectives, operation actions and/or design decisions
in such a system require an optimization problem to be solved. For such a nonlinear non-stationary
system with possible noise and uncertainties, as well as various design/operational constraints, the
solution to the optimization problem is by no means trivial.

PSO Algorithm
Step 1. Initialize an array of individuals with random positions and their associated velocities to
satisfy the inequality constraints.
Step 2. Check for the satisfaction of the quality constraints and modify the solution if required.
Step 3. Evaluate the fitness function of each individual.
Step 4. Compare the current value of the fitness function with the individuals previous best value
(pbest). If the current fitness value is less, then assign the current coordinates (positions) to pbestx.
Step 5. Determine the current global minimum fitness value among the current positions.
Step 6. Compare the current global minimum with the previous global minimum (gbest). If the
current global minimum is better than gbest, then assign the current global minimum to gbest and
assign the current coordinates (positions) to gbestx.
Step 7. Update the velocities and individuals position according to (1) and (2).
Step 8. Repeat Step 2-7 until optimization is satisfied or the maximum number of iterations is
reached
Particle Swarm Optimization is one of the modern heuristic algorithms. It was
developed through simulation of a simplified social system, and has been
found to be robust in solving continuous nonlinear optimization. The PSO
3
technique can generate a high quality solution within shorter calculation time
and stable convergence characteristics. The PSO method is an excellent
optimization methodology and a promising approach for solving the optimal
PID controller parameters problem. The PSO concept consists of, at each time
step, changing the velocity of each particle toward its pbest and gbest
locations.
TUNING OF PID CONTROLLER
Proportional-Integral Derivative (PID) controllers have been widely used for
speed and position control of various applications. Among the conventional PID
tuning methods, the ZieglerNichols method may be the most well known
technique. For a wide range of practical processes, this tuning approach works
quite well. However, sometimes it does not provide good tuning and tends to
produce a big overshoot. Therefore, this method usually needs retuning before
applied to control industrial processes. To enhance the capabilities of traditional
PID parameter tuning techniques, several intelligent approaches have been
suggested to improve the PID tuning, such as those using genetic algorithms
(GA) and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) . With the advance of
computational methods in the recent times, optimization algorithms are often
proposed to tune the control parameters in order to find an optimal
performance.
The proportional part of the PID controller reduces error responses to
disturbances. The integral term of the error eliminates steady-state error and
the derivative term of error dampens the dynamic response and thereby
improves stability of the system. The parameter settings of a PID controller for
optimal control of a plant (process) depend on the plants behaviour. To design
the PID controller the engineer must choose the tuning way of design
parameters to improve the transient response as well as the steady-state error.
In the design of a PID controller, the three gains of PID must be selected in
such a way that the closed loop system has to give the desired response. The
desired response should have minimal settling time with a small or no
overshoot in the step response of the closed loop system.

Conclusion
It is shown graphically that there is a substantial improvement in the time domain specification in
terms of lesser rise time, peak time, settling time as well as a lower overshoot. Hence by varying
different parameters of the PID controller the response of the system is changing. Hence by
4
changing kp ,ki, and kd the response of the system is improved. Also the peak overshoot, the rise
time and the settling time of the system is reduced. Hence this method is a design method for
determining the PID controller parameters . It can obtain higher quality solution with better
computational efficiency.
