Abstract
In this paper a hybrid scheme using Firefly Algorithm (FA) - Genetic Algorithm (GA) is introduced. The novel hybrid meta-heuristics algorithm is realized and applied to PID controller parameter tuning in Smith Predictor for a nonlinear control system. The controller is used to control feed rate and to maintain glucose concentration at the desired set point for an E. coli MC4110 fed-batch cultivation process. The hybrid FA-GA adjustments are done based on several pre-tests. Simulation results indicate that the applied hybrid algorithm is effective. Good closed-loop system performance is achieved on the basis of the considered PID controllers tuning procedures. Moreover, the observed results are compared to the ones obtained by applying the pure FA and pure GA. The comparison shows that the proposed hybrid algorithm is highly competitive with standard FA and GA for considered here optimization problem.
