Grey Wolf Particle Swarm Optimized Pump–Motor Servo System Constant Speed Control Strategy

Aiming to solve the problems of poor dynamic response characteristics and the weak anti-jamming capability of the conventional proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controlled pump-motor servo system (PMSS) under the actual working environment, this study created a brand new hybrid grey wolf optimization (GWO) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to determine the best parameters of the PID controller for the PMSS speed control to make the PMSS achieve a constant speed control. We developed a GWOPSO-PID controller and compared it with a conventional PID controller, GWO-PID, PSO-PID, and GA-PID. In comparison to the other four control methods, the simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the designed GWOPSO-PID control had better dynamic response characteristics, with its rise times being reduced by 78.6%, 64.7%, 67.1%, and 41.5%, respectively. Additionally, the system under the GWOPSO-PID control exhibits a good stability and robustness even in the face of different load circumstances, with decreases in the re-equilibration times of 59.6%, 23.4%, 53.2%, and 41.9%, respectively, with a significantly improved immunity to disturbances.
