Application of a single neuron PID controller based on immune mechanism for acombined cycle power plant

In the present article a single neuron PID controller based on immune mechanism is proposed to improve the performance of a single-shaft combined cycle power plant. Theproposed controller is used in speed control loop to improve response during frequency drop or variation at load power.Simulation results show that by using the single neuron PID controller based on immune mechanism, not only speed control loop performance is improved, but also the robustness of the system against parameters change is achieved
