Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

ABSTRACT: The electric furnace temperature control system is one of the real-world second-order systems plus time delay (SOSPD) widely used as the process control in industries. It is normally operated under the PID feedback control loop. The PIDA controller, however, performed better response than the PID controller for higher order plant. In this paper, an optimal PIDA controller design for the electric furnace temperature control system is presented. Regarding to modern optimization context, the flower pollination algorithm (FPA) which is one of the most efficient population-based metaheuristic optimization techniques is applied to search for the appropriate PIDA’s parameters. The proposed FPA-based PIDA design framework is considered as the constrained optimization problem. System responses obtained by the PIDA controller designed by the FPA will be compared with those obtained by the PID controller also designed by the FPA. As results, it was found that the PIDA can provides the very satisfactory tracking and regulating responses of the electric furnace temperature control system superior to the PID, significantly.
