Artificial Neural Network-Based PID Parameter Estimation Using Black Kite Algorithm Hyperparameter Optimization for...

This paper proposes a Black Kite Algorithm (BKA)-based hyperparameter optimization method for Artificial Neural Network (ANN) training, mitigating local minimum issues associated with conventional training techniques. The resulting BKA-ANN model is then employed to estimate PID controller parameters for DC motor speed regulation. A large-scale dataset of 100,000 samples was generated via MATLAB simulation, with reference speed and load torque stochastically varied, and optimal PID parameters determined by minimizing the ITAE criterion for each operating condition. The optimized controller was evaluated under various operating conditions including transient response, frequency domain analysis (phase margin and bandwidth), parametric robustness, and load disturbance suppression, along with control effort and energy consumption assessments. The proposed BKA-ANN approach was benchmarked against nine algorithms: hybrid atom search optimization-simulated annealing (hASO-SA), harris hawks optimization (HHO), Henry gas solubility optimization with opposition-based learning (OBL/HGSO), atom search optimization (ASO), henry gas solubility op-timization (HGSO), stochastic fractal search(SFS), grey wolf optimization (GWO), sine-cosine algorithm (SCA), and Standard ANN. Simulation results indicate that BKA-ANN achieves stable performance across all tested scenarios, with minimal oscillation and competitive settling time compared to the evaluated algorithms.
