Optimal fuzzy controller for speed control of DC drive using salp swarm algorithm

Abstract

The inherent non-linearity of the system being investigated highlights the limitations of traditional proportional integral or PI tuning approaches. Consequently, the primary objective of this study is to construct and refine the PI controller by leveraging the salp swarm algorithm, aiming to enhance the performance of the DC drive output. Through the application of the salp swarm algorithm, the fuzzy PI controller undergoes dynamic online modifications, leading to optimal results. The controller's superior performance is achieved by employing an optimization approach to identify the optimal set of solutions for the Fuzzy PI parameters. Rigorous simulations are conducted to comprehensively evaluate the proposed salp swarm algorithm technique, assessing its viability and efficacy in real-world. Thorough simulations assess the viability of the salp swarm algorithm, evaluating its effectiveness in real-world applications. The study demonstrates the methodology's reliability through comparative analyses of DC/DC converters against alternative methods. In non-linear systems like the DC drive, innovative optimization strategies are shown to significantly boost PI controller performance. The findings offer valuable insights for advanced control system design.
