We’re having trouble achieving stable turbine speed control during load changes. What are your tips for tuning PID loops effectively?
Start by optimizing the proportional gain. Too high, and you’ll see oscillations; too low, and the response will be sluggish.
Use simulation software to model your system. It’s much safer and faster than making adjustments live.
Don’t overlook the integral time. If it’s too short, you’ll get overshoots; too long, and corrections take forever
