Abstract

The electronic throttle control (ETC) for a gasoline engine is a typical nonlinear plant because of its nonlinear spring and model-parameter changes caused by external environmental variables. In this paper, a fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control strategy is proposed in order to improve the responsiveness of ETC. In the fuzzy-PID scheme, the input variables are the error signal and its derivative, and the output variable is PID gains expressed in terms of fuzzy rules. In this manner, the fuzzy-PID controller has more flexibility and capability than conventional ones. A novel technique to tune the fuzzy rules of fuzzy-PID controller is proposed using a harmony search algorithm, which can search the optimal PID gains for the plant. Simulation and experiment results have shown the effective performance of the proposed controller.
