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 ...

It is a common situation in electronics to have a control loop, that is some sort of feedback that drives the input to a system such as a motor or a heater based upon a sensor to measure something ...

In this study, a novel nonlinear PID controller is developed for a class of second-order nonlinear systems subject to uncertainties and external disturbances. The proposed control architecture ...

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

Load Frequency Control (LFC) and Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) are traditionally designed and tuned separately, which may lead to degraded dynamic performance when power systems experience ...
