Industrial Metaverse-Based Intelligent PID Optimal Tuning System for Complex Industrial Processes.

Abstract

In this article, the method of dynamic performance monitoring and adaptive self-tuning of parameters for actual PID control systems of industrial processes in virtual reality scenes is proposed. This method combines the digital twin model of the PID control process based on system identification and adaptive deep learning and the PID tuning intelligent algorithm based on reinforcement learning with virtual reality and immersive interaction of industrial metaverse. An industrial metaverse-based intelligent PID tuning system is proposed by combining the above method with the end-edge-cloud collaboration technology of Industrial Internet. The challenging problem that the actual operating PID control system in complex industrial processes cannot be optimized online is solved. Using the energy-intensive equipment, the fused magnesium furnace, as an industrial object, we conducted comparative simulation experiments between the proposed control method and several advanced control methods, as well as industrial experiments for the proposed intelligent system. Simulation experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method. The industrial experimental results indicate that the performance monitoring and adaptive self-tuning of parameters for actual PID control systems of industrial processes in virtual reality scenes can be realized, which achieves excellent control effects.
