Introduction:
We will delve into the optimization of Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller parameters using the Jellyfish Algorithm. The simulation model developed in Simulink aims to optimize the PID controller's parameters (Kp, Ki, and Kd) for controlling a second-order plant. By minimizing the mean absolute error, the Jellyfish Algorithm efficiently tunes the PID controller to enhance the system's performance.
Model Overview:
The Simulink model comprises a second-order plant controlled by a PID controller. The plant's output serves as feedback, which is compared with the desired setpoint to compute the error. The objective is to minimize the mean absolute error by optimizing the PID controller's parameters using the Jellyfish Algorithm.
Jellyfish Algorithm:
The Jellyfish Algorithm is a metaheuristic optimization technique inspired by the behavior of jellyfish in the ocean. It involves several stages, including passive and active motion, to explore the solution space effectively. By iteratively updating the controller parameters based on the objective function (mean absolute error), the algorithm converges towards the optimal solution.
