Abstract
PID control is widely used in electro-hydraulic systems. However, enhancing PID control performance in response to system nonlinearity, fluctuations of external load, and noise inevitably renders the chattering of the system that are also telltale indications of poor efficiency and dynamic instability. On the other hand, tuning down PID parameters would alleviate chatter at the expenses of reduced performance and inefficient use of resources. To address the particular issue, a novel controller concept termed as the time-frequency PID (TFPID) is developed. Firstly, a nonlinear electro-hydraulic dynamic model to be controlled is built for numerical and physical studies. Next, the working principle of the TFPID control is elaborated where the discrete wavelet transform is employed to decompose the error signal into high frequency error and low frequency error. Two unique PID controllers incorporating proportion, differential, and integral control are designed to mitigate the two error signals. The TFPID controller and system model are developed in MATLAB/Simulink to optimize the parameters and a hardware-in-the-loop test bench is employed to establish the performance of the system subject to interferences. Physical test results show that TFPID performs significantly better in anti-interference, stability, and dynamic response.
