The CS is applied to search for the optimum PIDA controller’s parameters. The obtained controllers are tested against nine benchmark systems collected by ?sstr?m and H?gglund considered as the hard-to-be-controlled plants and an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) system. As results, the optimum PIDA controllers can be successfully obtained by the CS and the re- sponses of controlled systems are very satisfactory.

Introduction algorithm (SFLA) [16], bee colony optimization (BCO) [17], key cutting search (KCS) [18], firefly search (FS) [19], hunting search (HuS) [20], cuckoo search (CuS) [21], and current search (CS) [22] etc., have been con- secutively launched. These algorithms can be classified into different groups depending on their nature of criteria being considered, such as natural-inspired population based and single-solution based. Among single-solution based optimization approaches, the current search (CS) is one of the latest metaheuristics proposed in 2012 [22]. It has been also successfully applied to design the PID con- trollers for unstable systems [23]. In 2010, the optimum PIDA controller design by the GA has been introduced [6]. Although the GA is efficient to
