Abstract:
This paper presents the reconfiguration of control circuit designed to control four-quadrant chopper placed in the variable speed drive system (VSDS)'s DC-link. The purpose of this design is to reduce the overall total harmonic distortion THD% of input current, and the ripple factor (RF) of the DC-link current in this system. Both of Grey Wolf Algorithm (GWO) & Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) have been used to get the optimal parameters of proportional integral PI and proportional integral differential with filter PIDN controllers. The variable speed drive system and the proposed filter have been modeled in integration with the suggested algorithms to determine the optimal values of the controllers' parameters. The grey wolf algorithm GWO outperformed the PSO algorithm in term of reaching the optimum parameters in less number of iterations in both dynamic and static work conditions. Also, the time response of the system with GWO is better than with PSO.

Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
