Abstract: The liquid level control in conical tank is tough task owing to variable cross-sectional area. The replica of the conical tank is recognized using standard step test technique and is approximated to be FOPTD model. In this paper, PSO based LQR-PI controller has been wished-for conical tank system. The PI controller gains are formulated as the optimal state-feedback gains. A PSO has been accustomed optimally to discover the weighting matrices, related to the various optimum state-feedback regulator design whereas minimizing ISE and the controller effort. The performance of the proposed PSO based LQR-PI controller is contrasted with those of GA-LQR-PI and LQR-PI controllers.
