Enhancing AVR System Stability Using Non-Monopolize Optimization for PID and PIDA Controllers
This work suggests a new use for the Non-Monopolize Optimization (NO) method to improve the dynamic stability and robustness of PID and PIDA controllers in Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) systems when there are load disruptions. The NO algorithm is a new search method that does not use metaphors and only looks for one answer. It utilizes adaptive dimension modifications to strike a balance between exploration and exploitation. Its addition to AVR control makes parameter tweaking more efficient, without relying on random metaphors or population-based heuristics. MATLAB/Simulink R2025a runs full simulations to check how well the system works in both the time domain (step response, root locus) and the frequency domain (Bode plot). We compare the results to those of well-known optimizers like WOA, TLBO, ARO, GOA, and GA. The suggested NO-based PID and PIDA controllers always show less overshoot, faster rise and settling periods, and higher phase and gain margins, which proves that they are more stable and responsive. A robustness test with a load change of ±50% shows that NO-tuned controllers are even more reliable. The results show that using NO to tune different controllers could be a good choice for real-time AVR controller tuning in modern power systems because it is lightweight and works well.
