Abstract

This article proposes implementing and comparing the effectiveness of three optimization algorithms (ACO, PSO, and FPA) for tuning a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller on an Arduino Mega 2560 board. This relatively unexplored approach aims to evaluate these algorithms through practical experiments. The choice of PID control is due to its design simplicity and widespread industrial use. Similarly, the permanent magnet DC motor (PMDC) was selected because of its crucial role in various industrial sectors. Tuning PID parameters using optimization algorithms has garnered increasing interest due to its demonstrated efficiency. Several studies have validated the stability of ACO, PSO, and FPA algorithms, justifying their selection. In this article, simulation results showed that ACO, with a response time of 0.322s and an overshoot of 0.68%, was more effective than PSO, which had a response time of 0.768s and an overshoot of 13%. FPA had a response time of 0.347s, close to ACO, but a higher overshoot of 6%. In practice, several factors come into play, such as speed ripples caused by the speed sensor, and machine saturation, which must be considered to ensure practical implementation. After adjusting the PID parameters and integrating a low-pass filter in the feedback loop, ACO, with a response time of 0.596s and an overshoot of 1.68%, was very close to FPA, which had a response time of 0.644s and an overshoot of 0.81%. This comparison highlighted the advantages of the FPA algorithm, which is simple to use, requires fewer parameters to adjust, and takes less time than ACO. This study suggests the potential for implementing a hybrid FPA-ACO algorithm, leveraging the strengths of both algorithms.

Abstract

This article aims to enhance the control efficiency of the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) by generating optimal reference currents  and using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), while ensuring a minimal absorbed current condition to reduce energy consumption and optimize PMSM performance. The ACO algorithm is chosen for its ability to find global solutions and robustness in complex environments, while Sliding Mode Control (SMC) provides advantages in terms of robustness against disturbances and the ability to maintain the system in a desired state. The implementation of the processor-in-the-loop (PIL) technique using MATLAB software with code composer and the LAUNCHXL- F28069M board enables the controller to be implemented in real hardware (LAUNCHXL-F28069M) to test the simulation environment (inverter and PMSM). Our results demonstrate the efficiency of ACO compared to the analytical method (AM) in terms of response time and minimizing absorbed current for different load values. Artificial intelligence (AI) has successfully and efficiently addressed the non-linearity between torque and reference currents, thus reducing energy consumption. This has allowed for the optimization of PMSM performance in a straightforward and efficient manner.

Abstract

Achieving high efficiency in photovoltaic (PV) systems under fluctuating irradiance and temperature conditions relies on effective maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques. Among the most commonly adopted approaches, perturb and observe (P&O) and incremental conductance (INC) are favored for their ease of implementation and operational flexibility. Nevertheless, a systematic comparison of their performance under dynamic conditions remains limited. This study conducts a comparative evaluation of P&O and INC algorithms using MATLAB/Simulink, with emphasis on tracking accuracy, convergence speed, and overall efficiency. A standard PV module is exposed to rapid variations in irradiance and temperature to examine algorithm robustness. The results indicate that although P&O achieves fast convergence in steady-state operation, it exhibits noticeable oscillations around the maximum power point, resulting in efficiency losses of up to 3%. Conversely, the INC method offers improved tracking precision and reduced oscillations, yielding efficiency gains of 2-4% over P&O in dynamic environments. These findings underline the trade-off between algorithmic simplicity and tracking accuracy, and provide practical guidance for selecting MPPT strategies in both grid-connected and standalone PV applications.
