Abstract

In this paper, an optimization method based on the foraging behavior of a colony of honey bees in nature was proposed. An optimized model for Proportional Integral Derivative (PID)- speed controller of 3-phase IM drives was introduced to adapt the constant gains of this classical controller. To enhance robustness of this controller, an online algorithm for self-tuning of PID controller-parameters was proposed. Experimental work was introduced using DSP and test results were obtained for several speed trajectories of 2-degree of freedom IM drive and compared with conventional PID controllers.
