 PID Designing in PID Tuner
 In the power system, we commonly use the
PID controller to bring the frequency, voltage
and other parameters to their original value.

However, tuning of the PID controller is very

difficult. Most of the times, hit and trial method
is used which is extremely time consuming.
Furthermore, despite of so much time,
it still fail to provide the best response.
 PID Designing in PID Tuner
But, now no need to worry about the PID tuning of any system.

MATLAB software in its latest versions has provided the PID Tuner.

In this PID Tuner, you just have to put the response
of any model from Simulink and it will automatically
provide the tuned response within fraction of seconds.

 Controller with Fast Response or Zero Overshoot?
It may be noted that at this point we have to select
one choice whether fast response or small settling time.

It is because faster response will give rise to overshoot in it.

Whereas removing overshoot will increase the

settling time and make the controller little bit slow.
 Practically Which System is Preferred?
In real practice, faster response with smaller overshoot is
preferred as compared to slower response with zero overshoot.

It is because in control system, most of

the time faster response is more important.
 Control System Example:
Consider a control system example, in which it is required to
stabilize the system response within settling time of 4 seconds.

Now, suppose you tuned the response and found that control
system stabilizes within 2 seconds but it still has some overshoot.

Now you have the choice that your settling time

limit is 4 seconds. Therefore, now it is better to
increase the settling time from 2 seconds to higher
value but bring back the controller overshoot to zero.
 Control System Example:
Suppose, at 3.5 settling time, your controller has zero overshoot.
It means that now you have obtained the best response within
mentioned settling time and with zero overshoot.

However, in some cases, we don’t have such choice then

it depends upon you that among both faster response and
zero overshoot which parameter you prefer ?
