OPTIMAL TILT INTEGRAL DERIVATIVE (TID) CONTROLLER DESIGN FOR AN IRRIGATION VALVE CONTROL MODEL USING ADAPTIVE SPIRAL DYNAMIC ALGORITHM
A solenoid valve which is used in an irrigation farming system where prescribed amount of water needs to be discharge for healthy growth and development of plants to improve food security needs some precision control in other to perform this task. This research tends to exploit the application of adaptive spiral dynamic algorithms (ASDA) and adaptive particle swamp optimization algorithms (APSO) in tuning controller parameters as well as selecting the best controller for the purpose of an irrigation valve control where the Proportional Derivative and Integral (PID) and Tilt Integral and Derivative (TID) controllers have been deployed for this task. At first, a mathematical model of the solenoid valve was developed and implemented in MATLAB SIMULINK; a search space for the controller’s parameters (Kp, Ki and Kd) for PID controller were estimated using PID tuner block in MATLAB while those of TID controller (Kt, Ki , Kd and n) were selected based on the obtained PID controller gains except for the tilt parameter „n? whose search space was selected (0 < n
