Abstract

This research presents an optimal the PID controller design for temperature control of an electric kettle by bat search (BS) which is the most efficient meta-heuristic methods. In this research, the BS is conducted to minimize the control objective function formulated by the sum-squared error between the reference temperature and the actual temperature of an electric kettle, and the experiment was carried out by testing the temperature control of electric kettles at 3 different temperature levels: 60, 80 and 100 degree Celsius. As the simulation, it resulted that the BS was able to optimize the parameters of the PID controller with very effective responses than the control by thermostat. In addition, the simulation results are confirmed by the experiment results of the temperature control of an electric kettle developed in the real laboratory.
