“Comparing PI Tuning Methods in a Real Benchmark Temperature Control System”
Authors: Finn Haugen,Affiliation: Telemark University College
Reference: 2010, Vol 31, No 3, pp. 79-91.
Keywords: PI tuning, air heater, Skogestad´s method, Ziegler-Nichols´ methods, Hägglund and Åström´s method, Tyreus-Luyben´s method, Relay method, Setpoint Overshoot method, Good Gain method
Abstract: This paper demonstrates a number of PI controller tuning methods being used to tune a temperature controller for a real air heater. Indices expressing setpoint tracking and disturbance compensation and stability margin (robustness) are calculated. From these indices and a personal impression about how quick a method is to deliver the tuning result and how simple it is to use, a winning method is identified.
