In this paper, we suggest a hybrid genetic algorithm reinforced by a fuzzy logic controller (flc-HGA) to overcome weaknesses of conventional genetic algorithms: the problem of parameter fine-tuning, the lack of local search ability, and the convergence speed in searching process. In the proposed flc-HGA, a fuzzy logic controller is used to adaptively regulate the fine-tuning structure of genetic algorithm (GA) parameters and a local search technique is applied to find a better solution in GA loop. In numerical examples, we apply the proposed algorithm to a simple test problem and two complex combinatorial optimization problems. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms conventional GAs and heuristics.

This paper proposes the design of SVC adaptive fuzzy logic controller(AFLC) using Tabu search and neural network. We tuned the gain of input-output variables of fuzzy logic controller and weights of neural network using Tabu search. Neural network used to tune the output gain of FLC adaptively. We have weights of neural network learned using back propagation algorithm. We performed the nonlinear simulation on an single-machine infinite system to prove the efficiency of the proposed method. The proposed AFLC showed the better performance than PD controller in terms of the settling time and damping effect, for power system operation condition.

This paper presents structure optimization of a feedforward neural netowrk controller using the genetic algorithm. It is important to design the neural network with minimum structure for fast response and learning. To minimize the structure of the feedforward neural network, a genralization of multilayer neural netowrks, the genetic algorithm uses binary coding for the structure and floating-point coding for weights. Local search with an on-line learnign algorithm enhances the search performance and reduce the time for global search of the genetic algorithm. The relative fitness defined as the multiplication of the error and node functions prevents from premature convergence. The feedforward neural controller of smaller size outperformed conventional multilayer perceptron network controller.

PI(proportional-integral) controller has been extensively used in the industrial field. But in practicle case, it is difficult to tune PI gains. Evolution Strategy(ES) is used as an effective search algorithm in optimization programs. In this paper we proposed a PI controller for Spot welder system using ES with varying search space. ES with varying search space which depends on fitness values at each generation is used to tune PI control parameters. Simulation results show the proposed algorithm has accurate and robust performance with effective search ability.

This paper describes the application of Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) to Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) which can have significant impact on Power system dynamics. The function of the FLC is to control the firing angle of the TCSC. We tuned the scaling factors of the FLC using Tabu Search. The proposed FLC is used for damping the low frequency oscillations caused by disturbances such as the sudden changes of small of large loads or the outages in the generators or transmission lines. To evaluate usefulness of the proposed FLC. we performed the computer simulation for single-machine infinite system. The response of FLC is compared with that of PD controller optimized using Tabu Search. Simulation results that the FLC shows the better control performance than PD controller.

Normally, the artificial intelligence algorithms are widely applied to the optimal controller design. Then, it is expected that the best output performance is achieved. Unfortunately, when resulting controller parameters are implemented by using the practical devices, the output performance cannot be the best as expected. Therefore, the paper presents the optimal controller design using the combination between the state-space averaging model and the adaptive Tabu search algorithm with the new criteria as two penalty conditions to handle the mentioned problem. The buck-boost converter regulated by the cascade PI controllers is used as the example power system. The results show that the output performance is better than those from the conventional design method for both input and load variations. Moreover, it is confirmed that the reported controllers can be implemented using the realistic devices without the limitation and the stable operation is also guaranteed. The results are also validated by the simulation using the topology model of MATLAB and also experimentally verified by the testing rig.

Metaheuristic optimization approach has become the new framework for control synthesis. The main purposes of the control design are command (input) tracking and load (disturbance) regulating. This article proposes an optimal proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller design for the DC motor speed control system with tracking and regulating constrained optimization by using the cuckoo search (CS), one of the most efficient population-based metaheuristic optimization techniques. The sum-squared error between the referent input and the controlled output is set as the objective function to be minimized. The rise time, the maximum overshoot, settling time and steady-state error are set as inequality constraints for tracking purpose, while the regulating time and the maximum overshoot of load regulation are set as inequality constraints for regulating purpose. Results obtained by the CS will be compared with those obtained by the conventional design method named Ziegler-Nichols (Z-N) tuning rules. From simulation results, it was found that the Z-N provides an impractical PID controller with very high gains, whereas the CS gives an optimal PID controller for DC motor speed control system satisfying the preset tracking and regulating constraints. In addition, the simulation results are confirmed by the experimental ones from the DC motor speed control system developed by analog technology.

In this paper, an Adaptive Evolutionary Computation(AEC) is proposed. AEC uses a genetic algorithm(GA) and an evolution strategy (ES) in an adaptive manner is order to take merits of two different evolutionary computations: global search capability of GA and local search capability of ES. In the reproduction procedure, proportions of the population by GA and ES are adaptively modulated according to the fitness. AEC is used to design the membership functions and the scaling factors of fuzzy logic controller (FLC). To evaluate the performances of the proposed FLC, we make an experiment on FLC for the speed control of an actual DC series motor system with nonlinear characteristics. Experimental results show that the proposed controller has better performance than that of PD controller.

The design of speed controller for induction motor using tabu search is studied. The proposed sensorless vector control for Induction Motor is composed of two parts. The first part is for optimizing the initial parameters of input-output. The second part is for real time changing parameters of input-output using tabu search. Proposed tabu search is improved by neighbor solution creation using Gaussian random distribution. In order to show the usefulness of the proposed method, we apply the proposed controller to the sensorless speed control of an actual AC induction Motor System. The performance of this approach is verified through simulation.
