The ACC’1990 Control Benchmark: A Two-Mass-Spring System

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Controller Tuning with Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization

Abstract

In this chapter, controllers with different complexity for the control benchmark proposed in 1990 at the American Control Conference will be tuned using a multiobjective optimization design procedure. The aim of this chapter is two fold: on the one hand, to evaluate the overall performance of two different controller structures on such a benchmark by means of a design concepts comparison; on the other hand, to state MOP in order to have a more reliable measure of the expected controller’s performance.
