Optimal design of PID controller for a CSTR system using particle swarm optimization

This paper presents the optimal design of PID controller based on a particle swarm optimization (PSO) approach for continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). The mathematical model of experimental system had been approximate near the operating point for the PSO algorithm to adjust PID parameters for the minimum integral of time multiplied by absolute error (ITAE) condition. The results show the adjustment of PID parameters converting into the optimal point and the good control response base on the optimal values by the PSO technique.
