Temperature Control using PI Controller

Abstract

Indonesia is a large archipelago with a tropical climate consisting of dry and wet seasons. Indonesia has had high rainfall and temperature over the year because this country lies on the equator lines. Moreover, severe global warming occurs because of the depletion of the ozone which affects the inclement weather, air, and temperature over the years. Therefore, special equipment is required to obtain appropriate thermal conditions by controlling the temperature. This paper proposed the PI controller to maintain the temperature in their nominal values and its temperature stability is analyzed using pole placement. In this study, the system model is 1^st order, called first order plus dead time (FOPDT). Pole placement is utilized to improve the output signal to obtain the gain of the PI controller. The gain of the PI controller obtained is K_p as 0.36095 and K_i as I as of 0.00072231. The percentages of overshoot and steady-state error are 29.98% and 1.5% for the Ziegler Nichols method while 1.28% and 0.26% for the PI Tunner, respectively. PI controller is robust for this system where the pole's position is on the left side of the real axis and has small values of overshoot and steady-state error.
