Improved optimum PID controller tuning by minimizing settling time and overshoot

In this paper, a simple design method is presented to adjust the parameters of a proportional-integral derivative PID controller to be applied to different systems. In this method, PID controller is designed based on setting the optimal proportional gain according to the desired performance (settling time, overshoot). Determining the other parameters of the PID controller by adjusting the optimum ratio gain (k p ) in a stable loop that minimizes the settling time (t s ) and the error rate of the overshoot (M p ) constitutes the basis of the method. The Routh Rurwitz criterion is used to guarantee stability. The performance of the controller designed with the proposed method has been evaluated on three different transfer functions. With this method, the PID controller works successfully without destroying parameters and without complex mathematical formulation. It has been observed that the proposed method provides better closed loop performance compared to the methods reported recently.
