Gravitational search algorithm for determination of controller parameters in an AVR system

This paper presents optimal tuning of the controller parameters of a proportionalintegral-derivate (PID) controller for an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) system using heuristic Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) based on mass interactions and the Newton’s Law of Gravity. Determination of the optimal controller parameters is considered as an optimization problem. In this optimization problem, different performance indexes and a performance criterion in the time domain have been used as objective function to test performance and the effectiveness of the GSA. In the determining process of the parameters, the designed PID controller with the proposed approach is simulated under different conditions and performance of the controller is compared to those reported in literature. From numerical simulation results, it is clearly shown that the GSA approach is successfully applied to reveal the performance and the feasibility of the proposed controller in the AVR system.
