Multiobjective Optimization of Multiloop Fractional Order PID Controller Tuned Using Bat Algorithm for Two Interacting Conical Tank Process
Multiloop fractional order PID controller is tuned using Bat algorithm for two interacting conical tank process. Two interacting conical tank process is modelled using mass balance equations. Two Interacting Conical Tank process is a complex system involving tedious interaction. Straight forward multiloop PID controller design involves various steps to design the controller. Due to easy implementation and quick convergence, Bat algorithm is used in recent past for solving continuous non-linear optimization problems to achieve global optimal solution. Bat algorithm, a swarm intelligence technique will be attempted to tune the multiloop fractional order PID controller for two interacting conical tank process. The multi objective optimized multiloop fractional PID controller is tested for tracking, disturbance rejection for minimum Integral time absolute error.
