Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control is a common type of automatic control used in the power industry. Properly tuning controllers is important.

The process controller’s job is to maintain the process variable at setpoint, regardless of whether the setpoint is constant or has just been changed. The controller contains the “control algorithm,” ...

Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) is the most common industrial technology for closed-loop control.

The PID controller itself seems fairly robust, and includes a number of features that seasoned controls engineers would look for in their PID controllers.

A better understanding of closed-loop control, and how to tune it, can be found by looking at the individual parts of the PID equation and the effect of each on the controlled output By Bill Dehner ...

"PID controllers have an incredible number of options and parameters besides tuning settings, but much of their potential and power have remained untapped," he explains.

I was nursing a lukewarm vending machine coffee recently when I overheard two fresh-faced engineers complaining about the PID tuning process and coming up with ways to tear down centuries of control ...

The paper presents the speed control analysis for a turbocharged engine by simulation using block diagram type of modeling and solving the differential equations using both fourth order Runge-Kutta ...
