Abstract

In this paper, we utilize the potential of using computational software based methodology in controllers for a sun seeker system. In sun seeker system, PID controller is used due to simple control structure, robustness, wide range of applicability, etc.  The controller can provide control action designed for specific process requirements, by tuning the three constants in the PID controller algorithm. But in the conventional tuning method, the PID controllers are not very efficient because of the presence of nonlinearity in the system of the plant and also it has a quite high overshoot and settling time. This paper presents a formal new methodology that is fuzzy control to design and tune PID controller for obtaining better dynamic and static performance at the output. This paper also discusses the benefits of the soft computing methods.
