Research on the Control Methods Based on Liquid Level System

Abstract

Liquid level control is a common process control in industry, and its impact on production cannot be ignored. Liquid level control systems are used in various aspects of life, such as reservoirs, cisterns, river levels, etc. Among the common liquid level control systems, the double-volume water tank is a typical controlled object, which is widely used in industrial production. The control difficulty of has also increased due to its nonlinearity and delay. PID control can achieve satisfactory results in the face of accurate mathematical models and is still widely used in society. However, PID control is less effective when dealing with nonlinear systems that are difficult to describe accurately with mathematical models. For better level control, this paper designs a double-volume tank level control system with single-loop PID control, Cascade PID Control and fuzzy PID control based on PID control theory, and compares their control effects. This paper therefore concludes that the control effect of fuzzy PID control is better than the other two controls, and through experiments, we also find that fuzzy PID has decent adaptivity. This paper provides a certain research basis for the subsequent research on PID control, which has important theoretical significance and engineering value.
