Optimal PID controller for the DC-DC buck converter using the improved sine cosine algorithm

This paper presents an improved Sine Cosine Algorithm (ISCA) towards optimization of a DC-DC buck converter with employment of the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. Limitations of the conventional Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA) was hereby overcome through two separate alterations which pioneered a synergized employment of nonlinear equation to instrumental mechanism in revising the average location. Primary alteration tackled the issue of local optima by proposed instrumental function towards revision of average location. Secondary alteration then coordinated disproportional exploration and exploitation phases of the conventional SCA by application of a nonlinear equation against the algorithm's decreasing position- updated mechanism. Robustness of the proposed ISCA-PID approach was studied against preceding algorithm-based PID for DC-DC buck converter with respect to their step response, statistics regarding the analyzed objective function, time-domain integral-error performance, reaction to frequency, and resistance to disturbance and parametric uncertainties. Generated findings subsequently uncovered overshadowing efficacy of the proposed method over its algorithmic predecessors towards exceptionally enhanced transitory response of the DC-DC buck converter.
