Multi-objective optimized fuzzy-PID controllers for fourth order nonlinear systems

In this paper, the Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) is used to obtain the Pareto frontiers of conflicting objective functions for the fuzzy-Proportional-Integral-Derivative (fuzzy-PID) controllers. The ball–beam and inverted pendulum fourth order nonlinear systems are regarded as nonlinear benchmarks. The considered objective functions for the ball–beam system are the distance error of the ball, the angle error of the beam, and the control effort. For the inverted pendulum system, the objective functions are the distance error of the cart, the angle error of the pendulum, and the control effort, which must be minimized simultaneously. The Pareto fronts are compared with those obtained by Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO). Four points are chosen from nondominated solutions of the obtained Pareto fronts based on the three conflicting objective functions and used for illustration of the state variables of the controlled systems. Obtained results elucidate the efficiency of the proposed controller in order to control nonlinear systems.
