Since the
foundation and up to the current state-of-the-art in control
engineering, the problems of PID control steadily attract great
attention of numerous researchers and remain inexhaustible source of new
ideas for process of control system design and industrial applications.
PID control effectiveness is usually caused by the nature of dynamical
processes, conditioned that the majority of the industrial dynamical
processes are well described by simple dynamic model of the first or
second order. The efficacy of PID controllers vastly falls in case of
complicated dynamics, nonlinearities, and varying parameters of the
plant. This gives a pulse to further researches in the field of PID
control. Consequently, the problems of advanced PID control system
design methodologies, rules of adaptive PID control, self-tuning
procedures, and particularly robustness and transient performance for
nonlinear systems, still remain as the areas of the lively interests for
many scientists and researchers at the present time. The recent
research results presented in this book provide new ideas for improved
performance of PID control applications.
