description | In the present study, to address the issue of flow rate instability in the flow boiling experimental system, a flow rate adaptive control system is developed using a single-neuron PID adaptive algorithm, enhanced with the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) for parameter tuning. A recursive least-squares online identification method is integrated to adapt to varying operating conditions. The simulation results demonstrate that in step response the WOA-improved single-neuron PID significantly mitigates the overshoot, with a mere 0.31% overshoot observed, marking a reduction of 98.27% compared to the traditional PID control. The output curve of the WOA-improved single-neuron PID closely aligns with the sinusoidal signal, exhibiting an average absolute error of 0.120, which is lower than that of the traditional PID (0.209) and fuzzy PID (0.296). The WOA-improved single-neuron PID (1.01 s) exhibited a faster return to a stable state compared to the traditional PID (2.46 s) and fuzzy PID (1.28 s). Finally, the effectiveness of the algorithm is validated through practical application. The results demonstrate that, compared to traditional PID and single-neuron PID algorithms, the WOA-improved single-neuron PID algorithm achieves an average flow stability of 9.9848 with a standard error of 0.0914394. It exhibits superior performance, including faster rise and settling times, and higher stability. |
