Simulation of transient response of PID controller in an automated electro-pneumatic system using a single-acting cylinder in a clinical ventilator

Abstract

Patients with COVID-19 are not eligible for any therapy. Patients who have had respiratory failure and are unable to provide oxygen via noninvasive means obtain supportive care in ICUs. Since the onset of the outbreak, every sick COVID-19 patient has received oxygen via a mechanical ventilator. This study describes and simulates the transient stability of systems in an automated pressure regulator utilizing a single-acting cylinder in a clinical ventilator. These components include horizontal controllers, control devices, connecting tubes, and PID for electro-pneumatic control. Increased system stability and nonlinearity in electro-pneumatic actuator systems are accomplished by the implementation of PID. The redesigned PID control architecture was enhanced with alternative acceleration feedback through the close loop with an integral control method to get the system stable. This introduces the standard value N from the outside vicious circle and applies a form control law to integrate all reference control supply through into the gadget. Even as proportional gain (K_p) gets increased, the controller output would increase proportionately while maintaining the exact degree of accuracy. A derivative term boosts the ability of the K_d regulator to "detect" malfunctions. The integral term of the K_i controller minimizes its set point distortion. The system was updated to make it feasible for transferrable knowledge and competencies by incorporating real industrial components. The completed fluid control system was simulated through FluidSIM, which is frequently helpful for educational purposes.

1. Introduction

Electro-pneumatic technologies are gaining popularity as a result of relief breathing machine development for critically ill patients via COVID-19 (MIT, 2020). (OSV, 2020). (OSV, 2020). Controllers in industrial asynchronous electro-pneumatic/hydraulic systems operate in such a time-dependent pattern. It is used in a wide range of industry settings to -difficulty productive capacity restrictions after the epidemic shutdown. Automation is feasible at a minimal cost. In the present worldwide circumstances, some sort of strategy will indeed be essential to reconstruct.

A pressurized gas cylinder is indeed an electro-pneumatic actuator. In this pneumatic cylinder, important parts are the piston, piston rod, cylinder chamber, valves, and fittings. Inside single-acting cylinders, springs are also found. The piston in a single-acting cylinder is moved in the same way by pressured gas and then returned to its initial state by spring pressure. A cylinder opening is used to either feed or vent pressurized air. Single-acting cylinders are classified into two types: return spring and spring extended. In this investigation, a spring return piston was used. The spring in the spring return chamber is located between the forward end of the pipe and the piston (around the piston rod). The piston rod in this arrangement expands when compressed air is supplied into the cylinder. When the air supply is turned off, the piston is contracted by the pressure of such spring. The spring cylinder not only works in one way but also the opposite. The piston pulls back when pressure is applied. Whenever the air source is turned away, the spring drives the shaft backward. In spring propellers, the spring is positioned between both the piston and the rear end of the cylinder.

The cylinder is controlled by a 5/2 valve. 5/2-way refers to five ports and two locations. Ports 1 (pneumatically supplied) and 2 (work port), as well as ports 4 (work port) and 5 (outlet port), are linked (exhaust port). The valve may be programmed to load or exhaust the cylinder. With the application and implementation of electro-pneumatic relative elements, pneumatic control systems have recently advanced beyond step regulation. A proportionate electro-pneumatic authoritarian translates an analog electrical input signal into outlet flow (electronic proportional flow valve) or pressure (electronic proportional pressure valve) (electronic proportional pressure valve). Pneumatic and electric circuits can therefore be greatly simplified. They also supply pneumatic servo-feedback control system components such as location [1,2], speed control performance analysis, and flow rate assessor model for pneumatically operated controllers as well as compressed air actuator regularization pressure modulation [3].

Some of the books on pneumatics and electro-pneumatics that can be found in the literature are Open-loop Force Control of a three-finger gripper with PWM modulated pneumatic digital valves [4], A pressure control system for robot arm with pneumatic actuation [5], and Actuation force control. Robotic hands are possible using PWM-modulated pneumatic digital valves [6,7] suggested a pneumatically driven bipedal walking robot. Although research work is documented in Refs. [[8], [9], [10], [11]], some literature is also reported [[8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]]. Electro-pneumatic component modeling and experimental investigation were also provided. Dynamic model and experimental evaluation of a pneumatic proportional pressure valve [13,14], and Modeling and experimental validation of a two-way pneumatic digital valve [14].

The tuning of the proportional, derivative, and integral gains, the most difficult component of a PID control system, determines the controller's overall performance. Some researchers are investigating the disadvantages of using PID control schemes, such as the proportional action's common steady-state error, the increased order of the system, the presence of oscillations and potential instability caused by the integral action, and the derivative action's noise amplification in measurement signals [15,16] developed a modified ratio, integral, and derivative (PID) control approach for servo-pneumatic actuator systems, albeit the throttle feedback signal required in this control strategy proved difficult to obtain in reality. This scheduling system was built with no prior knowledge of the dynamic behavior of pressure build-up in actuation chambers and just an installation model. Similarly, the general stability of the closed-loop system has not been proved. In modern control theory, differential equations are used to characterize a process [17]. They created a pneumatic servo system, a linearized state-space model. Their major goal was to demonstrate that pneumatic systems may be used in robotic applications [18]. In velocity, PID control systems, a pseudo-derivative term can be inserted to avoid feedback signal differentiating, which, unlike placement methods, should boost system damping [16,19]. The installation of a modified PID controller for servo-pneumatic systems for fluid power system control was described. According to Ref. [20] and experimental testing of different pneumatic position control systems, a PID control approach produces the largest inaccuracy, as measured by the standard deviation between the desired and actual position [21]. created a fuzzy state feedback gain-programming controller for servo-pneumatic actuators. Previous physical knowledge, such as the number of local models, the order of the linear model, and the planning vector, were used to define the Takagi-Sugeno model structure. A control rule was defined as the interpolation of local linear state-space controllers, each generated by pole placement using linear state-space models. Because pneumatic systems are non-linear, as previously stated, this linearization approach is inefficient across a large working range. An adaptive controller has been used for pneumatic systems that consider nonlinear variables to be linear time-varying terms to be efficient across a greater operating range [22], but this strategy is only successful if the linear parameters change slowly over time. Another approach to dealing with nonlinearity is to design regulators without explicitly using the plant's mathematical model. Fuzzy control and neural network control are examples of this other approach [23]. In the fuzzy control account, non-linearity is taken into account as fuzzy rules. In neural network control, they are accounted for by neural network learning. Other advantages of state-space techniques over traditional control methods are also mentioned [24]. To avoid an increase in sensitivity, an integrator can be introduced in series with the system in the forward route [25]. Fluid power system control valves operate within a specific range. Limiting the quantity of power sent via the valve, as well as the magnitude of feedback gains describes and simulates the transient response of pneumatic system components such as linear actuators, control valves, connective tubing, and PID for electro-pneumatic control in this study's automated pneumatic system with a single-acting cylinder. The system was improved by including real-world industrial components, which allowed for the application of actual knowledge and abilities.

A comparative performance analysis of the Slime Mold Algorithm (SMA) for proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller design is presented in this paper. The SMA is a unique metaheuristic optimization technique that is well-known for its simplicity and efficiency in resolving challenging optimization issues. It was inspired by the collective behavior of slime molds. The SMA is used in this study to adjust the PID controller settings for a dynamic system. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA), two conventional optimization techniques, are used to compare the performance of the SMA-based PID controller. The efficiency with which the SMA optimizes the PID controller parameters, as shown by the simulation results, improves control robustness and performance.

This work presents a unique optimization strategy for designing a proportional-integral-differential (PID) controller for a buck converter by combining the Nelder-Mead method with Artificial Ecosystem-Based Optimization (AEBO). Drawing inspiration from natural ecosystems, AEBO effectively explores the solution space by imitating the concepts of survival, competition, and adaptation. Then, to improve convergence and stability, the parameters derived by AEBO are fine-tuned using the Nelder-Mead approach. Simulations are used to validate the effectiveness of the suggested strategy, showing that it performs better than conventional methods in terms of optimizing PID controller parameters. Improved transient responsiveness, resilience, and efficiency are demonstrated by the modified PID controller when it comes to controlling the buck converter's output voltage under various load scenarios.

In this study, the Honey Bee Optimization (HHO) algorithm, which is based on Harmony Search, is used in the design of a PID (proportional-integral-derivative) controller for an aircraft pitch angle control system. The HHO method is used to optimize the PID controller parameters to provide steady and accurate control of the aircraft's pitch angle. It draws inspiration from the melodic harmony and foraging habits of honey bees. By reducing overshoot and settling time, the suggested method seeks to improve the control system's robustness and performance. When compared to traditional tuning techniques, simulation results show how well the HHO-based PID controller performs in terms of obtaining improved dynamic response and resilience. When it comes to preserving the intended pitch angle trajectory in the face of a variety of flight situations and disruptions, the optimized controller performs better.

1.1. Importance and significance of this study

The primary purpose of the research was to improve system stability and adjust it for non-linearity in electro-pneumatic actuator systems. The improved PID control strategy uses acceleration feedback instead of chamber pressure feedback to improve system stability. The PID is germane in the design of the clinical ventilator to regulate the stability of the system. To simulate the pneumatic system, the FluidSIM program, which is a complete package for the modeling of fluid control systems was utilized and this is typically suited for educational purposes. FluidSIM software supports students in evaluating and solving problems while also enhancing their practical abilities [26].

2. Mathematical tracking and control design

The transfer function output of a PID controller, which is equivalent to the factory's input source, has been computed from the response inaccuracy as described in equation (1)

$$\mathrm{A}\left(\mathrm{t}\right)=K_p\mathrm{e}\left(\mathrm{t}\right)+K_i\int e\left(t\right)dt+K_p\frac{de}{dt}$$ (1)

Let's start with the equation above to see how the PID controller works in a closed circuit. The difference between the planned output (r) and the final product (e) is the navigation inaccuracy (e) (y). This response of the system is delivered to the PID controller, which calculates the inaccuracy signal's integral and its derivative regarding time. The microcontroller to the plant is equivalent to the modulation index (K p) times the magnitude of the fault plus the integral gain (K_i times the integral of dependent variables the derivative gain (K d) times the derivative of a fault. This regulatory signal is received by the factory, which then generates the appropriate output. After that, the updated output (y) is recycled directly into the loop and matched to the carrier frequency to calculate the new error output (e). The microcontroller to update the control input uses this new error value. This method is repeated as soon as the controller is turned on.

A PID controller's transfer function is calculated using the Laplace transform of Equation (2)

$$K_p+\frac{K_i}{s}+K_{d}s=\frac{K_d{s}^2+K_{p}s+K_i}{s}$$ (2)

When.

$K_p$ = proportional gain, $K_i$ = integral gain, and $K_d$ = derivative gain.

Integral control is a strategy for achieving minimal stable inaccuracy in a system. By raising the order of the system, one can build productivity measures by inserting an integrator on the front route in contact only with the device.

The needed new state variable has been defined as follows to enhance the plant's order in equation (3), as mentioned in Ref. [25]:

$${\mathrm{x}}_{\mathrm{i}}=\int \text{error}\text{dt}=\int \left(\mathrm{r}-\text{Cx}\right)\text{dt}\int \left(\mathrm{r}-\mathrm{y}\right)\text{dt}=\int \left(\mathrm{r}-\text{Cx}\right)\text{dt}$$ (3)

Where r is the command reference input. As a result, the derivative of the new reference signal will be as shown in equation (4):

$${\dot{\mathrm{x}}}_{\mathrm{i}}=\mathrm{r}–\text{Cx}$$ (4)

The state-space model of the system has indeed been updated as follows by the inclusion of a new parameter value:

$$\text{Input}=\left[\begin{array}{c}{\dot{\mathrm{x}}}_1\\ {\dot{\mathrm{x}}}_2\end{array}\right]\left[\underset{\mathrm{A}}{\underset{1-2-3⏟}{0}}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}{\mathrm{x}}_1\\ {\mathrm{x}}_2\end{array}\right]+\left[\underset{\mathrm{B}}{\underbrace{\begin{array}{c}0\\ 1\end{array}}}\right]\mathrm{u}={\mathrm{R}}_{\text{rs}}.{\mathrm{V}}_{\text{breath}}\left(\mathrm{t}\right)+\frac{1}{{\mathrm{C}}_{\text{rs}}}.({\mathrm{V}}_{\text{lung}}\left(\mathrm{t}\right)‐\text{FRC})+{\mathrm{P}}_{\text{diaper}}$$

Where A = ${\mathrm{R}}_{\text{rs}}$. ${\mathrm{V}}_{\text{breath}}$ (t) And B = $\frac{1}{{\mathrm{C}}_{\text{rs}}}$. (${\mathrm{V}}_{\text{lung}}$ (t) - FRC) + ${\mathrm{P}}_{\text{diaper}}$

A single loop modulator, also known as an important focal obtain controller, inserts a standard gain, N, outside the feedback system and integrates the standard order input into the device through a control scheme of a type shown in equation (5);

$$\mathrm{A}=‐{\mathrm{K}}_{\mathrm{x}}+\bar{\mathrm{N}}\mathrm{r}$$ (5)

A control technique presented above delivers stable precision to a system activated by a process variable in the situation of transient response.

By inserting the control rule specified in Equation (6), the mathematical model representation of both the system will become:

$$\dot{x}=\left(\mathrm{A}–\text{BK}\right)\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{B}\bar{N}\mathrm{r}$$ (6)

$${\mathrm{C}}_{\mathrm{x}}=\mathrm{y}$$

The inputs and output must be equal in a stable state as shown in equation (7). As a result,

$${\dot{x}}_{ss}=0=\left(\mathrm{A}–\text{BK}\right)x_{ss}+\mathrm{B}\bar{N}\mathrm{r}$$ (7)

The suffix "SS" indicates a perfect level. At a stable, the inputs and output are derived from Equation (8) as follows:

$$x_{ss}=‐{\left(\mathrm{A}–\text{BK}\right)}^{-1}\mathrm{B}\bar{N}\mathrm{r};y_{ss}=‐\mathrm{C}{\left(\mathrm{A}–\text{BK}\right)}^{-1}\mathrm{B}\bar{N}\mathrm{r}\text{;}$$ (8)

The stable fault is defined as the difference between the input and the output as shown in equation (9), therefore

$$e_{ss}=\mathrm{r}‐y_{ss}=\mathrm{r}+\mathrm{C}{\left(\mathrm{A}–\text{BK}\right)}^{-1}\mathrm{B}\bar{N}\mathrm{r}=\mathrm{r}[1+\mathrm{C}{\left(\mathrm{A}–\text{BK}\right)}^{-1}\mathrm{B}\bar{N}\mathrm{r}]$$ (9)

Because the stable output must match the input, which must be zero, the standard gain is provided by Equation (10):

$$\bar{N}=‐\frac{1}{\mathrm{C}{\left(\mathrm{A}–\text{BK}\right)}^{-1}B}$$ (10)

Where the inverse ${\left(\mathrm{A}–\text{BK}\right)}^{-1}$ exists only if the matrix (A–BK) is stable would give Equation (11).

$$\text{Output}=\left[\underset{C}{\underbrace{\begin{array}{cc}1& 0\end{array}}}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}{x}_1\\ x_2\end{array}\right]\left[\underset{D}{\underbrace{\begin{array}{c}0\end{array}}}\right]u=\left(\mathrm{s}\right)\mathrm{u}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)$$ (11)

Where C FRC (SL - ${\left({\mathrm{R}}_{\text{rs}}\right)}^{-1}{\mathrm{C}}_{\text{rs}}$ and D = 0

Using the expression for the derived transfer function.

=.$\left[10\right]{\left(\left[\begin{array}{c}s0\\ 0s\end{array}\right]-\left[\begin{array}{c}01\\ -2-3\end{array}\right]\right)}^{-1}\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\ 1\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{c}1\\ 0\end{array}\right]$.

$$=\left[10\right]{\left[\begin{array}{c}s-1\\ 2s+3\end{array}\right]}^{-1}\left[\begin{array}{c}1\\ 0\end{array}\right]$$

$$=\left[10\right]\left(\frac{1}{s\left(s+3\right)+2}\right)\left[\begin{array}{c}s+31\\ -2s\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\ 1\end{array}\right]$$

$$=\frac{1}{s^2+3s+2}\left[10\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}1\\ s\end{array}\right]$$

$$=\frac{1}{s^2+3s+2}$$ (12)

Using the transform function, the step response has represented the air circulation output as a role of force input I(s)/P(s) (13). This equation is considered to represent normal breathing in the above characteristics and a rate of breathing equivalent to Ref. [27].

$$\frac{\mathrm{I}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}{\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}=\frac{{\mathrm{s}}^2+420\mathrm{s}}{{\mathrm{s}}^2+620\mathrm{s}+4000}$$ (13)

3.1. Experimental setup for pressure control ventilator (PCV)

The experimental setup for the pressure control ventilator (PCV) is schematically shown in Fig. 1 (1Y1 and 1V1) depicting the structure of the PCV electro-pneumatic system while the spring return single-acting pneumatic cylinder is shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 1.

Spring return single-acting pneumatic cylinder.

The optical proximity sensor is mounted on a plastic composite ground including an LED and cable wires. Protection adapters or a 3-pin plug socket are used to make the wiring. A fast locking mechanism with a blue three-clamp nut secures the item to the feature sheet. The variable one-way flow control valve with a direct push-in socket is fastened onto the functional sheet. The item is inserted onto the feature plate using a blue fast-locking mechanism. Fig. 1(1Y1 and 1V1) showed that when the piston is at the left stop, ports 1 (pressurized air source) and 2 (work port), in addition to ports 4 (work port) and 5 (outlet port), are linked. Whenever the left solenoid coil is activated, the piston travels to the end of the row, and ports 1 and 4 are activated. Also linked are ports 2 and 3 (outlet port) (power supply, 14 and 12, operate throughout l 'Actuation. 2) Connecting pressurized airflow 1 and operating port 4. Unless the valve will revert to the rest position, just interrupting the supply to the left solenoid coil is insufficient; the right solenoid coil must also be activated. If neither solenoid is engaged, the piston stays in its previous assumed position due to friction (signal control in the power section). This is also true if the two solenoids are energized at the exact time, as they will act on one another with the same pressure. In a de-energized condition, the valve can be switched manually.

1X1 is at the front output terminal in the original input cylinder, as well as the back-cylinder hole gets loaded using pressurized gas and the specified switch has only been held by a pushbutton even as soon it has been activated. The depicted pushbutton serves as a typically open connection. In the event of a typically open connection, the circuit is terminated in the shows two possible states of the pushbutton. When the switching head is actuated, the circuit is closed and energy flows to the users. Because of the spring tension, when the switching head is pushed, the pushbutton returns to its usual position, terminating the circuit. The PCV control system is simulated using the FESTO® FluidSIM program. As illustrated in Fig. 1, Fig. 3, the developed FESTO® FluidSIM consists of the usually close time delay valve DSNU-20-100-PPV-A and the 5/2 double pilot solenoid valve. Regardless of whether the accompanying solenoid coil is powered, a double solenoid valve keeps its switching state. It serves as a device known. With a twin solenoid valve, you may regulate the forward and return strokes manually. Solenoid coil 1Y1 is activated when pushbutton 1V1 is pushed. The piston rod moves as the double solenoid valve switches. Since the valve remains in its switching position if the pushbutton is pressed during the forward stroke, the piston rod maintains its extension until it reaches the end position. Solenoid coil 1Y1 is activated when pushbutton 1V1 is pushed. The piston comes back when the double solenoid valve changes again. The return movement is unaffected by pressing pushbutton 1S1. When pushbutton 1S1 is pressed, the piston of a single-acting cylinder is progressed. When the piston reaches the forward overall length, it is supposed to return immediately. A 10-bar pressure gauge is used to measure the compressed air. Regarding safeness but also to avoid exceeding the operational pressure of the PCV, the experiments are conducted at extreme pressures of 6.0 bars (Fig. 4).

The simulation findings show that when the ventilator's tidal volume increases, thus be doing proven to have a significant in the flexible tube and the lung, however when the tidal volume exceeds 600 mL, the pressure inside the bronchi steadily falls. Optimal outflow delivery from the tube and lungs rises proportionately with rising tidal volume if the tidal volume is much less than 600 ml as shown in Table 2. When the tidal volume exceeds 600 ml, the highest air flow discharge of the elastic hose reduces rapidly; nevertheless, the flow rate of exhaust gas from the lungs diminishes gradually.

	200	6	5.28	16		200	6	5.6	1.6		200	6	5.7	1.6

The ventilator's outflow time is adjusted to 1 s, 1.2 s, 1.4 s, and 1.6 s, and the simulation experiments reveal that when the ventilator's outflow time is shorter than 1.6 s, the force level in the pipe might not even emerge. Furthermore, as the ventilator is increased, the maximal pressures in the pulmonary rises. When the ventilator discharge time exceeds 1.6 s, the maximal volume inside the lung stays unchanged.

Furthermore, once the vent release time is shorter than 1.6 s, the maximal respiratory flow rises as the release time increases. The maximum output rate remains constant if the ventilator release duration is higher than 1.6 s.

A commensurate, derivative, and integral control mechanism is established between both the controlled variable and an operating reference voltage in a PID system as shown in Fig. 5. The control loop action increases the fault indication, which is represented by the discrepancy between the intended and calculated values. The derivative control action distinguishes the erroneous signal and attempts to enhance the system's inherent frequency to boost its transient stability. Furthermore, by summing or collecting the error signal, the integral control action attempts to reduce the stable error.

A PID strategy for positional control is depicted as a block diagram.

Fig. 6 shows the basic implications for every degree of control on such an isolated circuit. It should be noted that these criteria apply in many circumstances, although not all. If you choose to understand the impact of modifying the different gains, you will need to conduct more research or experiment somewhat on the existing device.

3.2. Theory

Output response: The Laplace of a system's products is determined by the Laplace of its input. The unit step response describes the response of a model to the reference signal (with all starting conditions zero value at t = 0, i.e., device reaction). The ramp value is mathematical and complies with the requirements of a graph-like gradient graph.

4. Results and discussion

The answers produced from the deployment of inflow outcome like a result of the pressure input p controller in equation (12) are compared to the results obtained from the execution of equation (13). The increase or degradation of the system's variable responsiveness is compared when a First-order function control method is implemented into the mechanism.

Fig. 6 shows that when the proportional gain is utilized, the system takes 0.025 s to reach the target level. A device will not take any longer to obtain a constant state corresponding to the intended location. However, by raising the proportional gain, a device may achieve the target position faster and become instability.

To maintain the system informal, all terminals contained in the controller in Fig. 7 must be appropriately picked. These terminals were chosen to shape the system's reaction in the manner specified by the criteria. To achieve a good initial guess of the design criteria, it is necessary to reduce the influence of air differential pressure and connectivity tube size on the entire responsiveness of compressed air. By raising the order of the system by one, an integrator is placed on the front route in line with the system. There is no bandwidth data whatsoever. Whenever the pressure remains the same in Fig. 8, its discharge rate will keep increasing to that same required tidal value.

This research adapts electro-pneumatic actuators because it is faster, precise and there is no potential risk for linkage which makes them more reliable and better than any other control system in the clinical ventilator.

Whenever an optimization technique developed from such a pole/zero termination technique was put inside the system, the variable responsiveness of the system improved or deteriorated. Fig. 9, Fig. 10 illustrate a rise in time based on a rise in volume.

5. Conclusion

The increase in proportional gain (K_p) increases the signal proportionately for the identical degree of inaccuracy. Because the regulator can "try and force" more when there is the same degree of error, the control system will react faster, but it will also exceed quiet. One impact of raising is that it lessens the stable error however it does not remove it.

The introduction of a derivative gain to a regulator K_d increases the operator's capacity to "predict" failures. If the parameter is set, the first and only possibility for it to rise is when the mistake grows. When using derivative control, the controller output might grow enormous if the mistake begins to slant higher, despite the number of such mistakes remaining modest. This expectation helps to dampen the mechanism, lowering overflow. The insertion of a derivative gain, on the other hand, does not affect the stable error.

The inclusion of an integral gain to the regulator Ki lowers stable error. When there is a consistent mistake, the integrator keeps building, raising the input signals, and pushing the fault downward. The integrator, on the other hand, has the disadvantage of making the system slower (and repetitive), because when the control input changes direction, this could take some time for the integrator to "decompress."

In this study, the Slime Mold Algorithm (SMA) for proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller design is compared in terms of performance. The SMA is used to modify PID controller settings for dynamic systems, and it was inspired by slime molds. The performance of the SMA-based PID controller is compared using Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO and GA, respectively). The performance and robustness of the control are enhanced by the SMA's optimization efficiency. The study also offers a novel optimization approach that combines Artificial Ecosystem-Based Optimization (AEBO) and the Nelder-Mead method to develop a PID controller for a buck converter. Simulations demonstrate that the suggested approach outperforms traditional techniques for PID controller parameter optimization. A PID controller for an airplane pitch angle control is designed using the Honey Bee Optimization (HHO) algorithm.
