Abstract

BackgroundChemical process models change frequently with operating conditions. However, the industry mostly adopts an off-line calibration and online fixed value commissioning scheme, which can be difficult to maintain control quality. Therefore, a long-cycle online intelligent PID controller calibration scheme is necessary. MethodsFirstly, a high-order linear dynamic model is used as the identification model, and online recursive identification technology is utilized. Secondly, a comprehensive performance index is selected to ensure both stability and rapidity of dynamic transitions. Finally, the slow rate updated PID parameters are obtained during the process control, and the Levy Memory Particle Swarm Optimization (LMPSO) search is applied to harvest the optimal solution. Significant findingsThis paper has presented an intelligent PID tuning method based on reliable identification technology. The main contributions include: (i) By using Lyapunov theory, the boundedness of identification error using the proposed algorithm is guaranteed; (ii) The LMPSO algorithm is proposed to enhance global search capability and search efficiency; (iii) A novel optimization scheme is proposed for a full-process online closed-loop intelligent PID controller. The scheme aims to improve the industrial controller's performance without altering its structure.
