Optimal Design of I-PD Controller for DC Motor Speed Control System by Cuckoo Search

Abstract The I-PD controller, one of the modified versions of the PID controller, was proposed for eliminating the set-point kick caused by proportional and derivative terms appeared during set point change. In this paper, the optimal I-PD controller design for DC motor speed control system by the cuckoo search (CS), one of the most efficient metaheuristic optimization techniques, is proposed. The simulation results show that the I-PD parameters can be optimized by the CS. The controlled system with the I-PD provides better responses with smaller overshoot and faster regulating time once compared to that with the parallel PID controller.
