An adaptive genetic algorithm for online PID tuning reduced energy use per kilogram of evaporated water in tobacco-leaf oven ...

Self-regulating systems with feedback loops, i.e., the routing back of the output of a system to its input, have existed since antiquity and have since become an integral part of modern technology.

PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control has existed for decades and there are many tools available to help implement PID to tune process control systems, thereby making it generally easy to ...

PID loops are a central component of modulating boiler control systems with applications ranging from basic steam header pressure control to cascading 3-element drum level control. A modern ...

A few weeks ago, I installed an automatic water heater switch to my bathroom, but it was a crude device. What I really want to do is design a universal heater driver. That basic idea can be adapted to ...
