Control Synthesis TechniquesControl Design Optimization Using Evolutionary AlgorithmsEvolutionary AlgorithmsIn the control design process, controller parameters often must be optimized to meet the system performance requirements. Evolutionary algorithms (EA’s), search and optimization procedures based on the mechanics of natural genetics, are an emerging technology for parameter optimization. EA search combines a Darwinian survival-of- the-fittest strategy to eliminate unfit characteristics and uses random information exchange, with knowledge from old solutions, to effect a fast and powerful search mechanism. Some advantages EA’s offer over conventional optimization techniques are convergence to a global optimum, faster convergence, and application over a large class of problems.
