Research Trends for PID Controllers

Abstract

This paper analyses the most significant issues that have been recently been addressed by researchers in the field of Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers. In particular, the most recent techniques proposed for tuning and designing PID-based control structures are briefly reviewed, together with methods for assessing their performance. Finally, fractional-order and event-based PID controllers are presented among the most significant developments in the field.
