Design and Experimental Application of an Improved Cascade Controller Optimized via Genetic Algorithm for Cascade Systems

Abstract

A single loop conventional controller will not initiate corrective action for disturbances unless the output variable moves away from the set-point. In this case, cascade control strategy can be benefitted to obtain better the control system performance, especially in existence of strong disturbances. Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) type controllers are usually preferred in both loops of a classical cascade control structure. However, if the outer loop transfer function of cascade control has an unstable pole or an integrator then its performance may not be as good as desired due to limitations of PID controllers. In this study, an improved cascade control structure incorporating a PI-PD controller in its outer loop is being proposed. Optimal parameters of controllers in the proposed improved cascade control scheme has been obtained simultaneously using Genetic Algorithm (GA). The superiority of the proposed improved cascade control structure over some cascade control schemes suggested in the literature has been shown by simulation examples. Also, real-time application on DIGIAC 1750 process control set has been performed to illustrate the validity of the proposed improved cascade control structure.
