Drum boiler system water level control: A study of existing hybrid optimization algorithms

In this research, we use a variety of optimization techniques to perfect the settings of a PID controller that manages the water level in a boiler's drum. In this study, Particle Swarm Optimization (P_S OPTIMIZATION) is used alongside other optimization techniques and compared to each other. Optimization that combines bacterial foraging with Particle swarms (BFP_S) and Hybridising the Gravitational Search Algorithm along with Particle swarm (GSAP_S) seeks to improve search results. The forementioned methods were tested, and their results were compared, utilising metrics such as IS ERROR, IA ERROR, ITA ERROR, and time domain specifications.
