Evaluation of AVR Performance Using PID, ANFIS, and ANN-Based Controllers Under Time-Domain Analysis

This research contributes a standardized AVR evaluation framework that fairly compares PID, ANFIS, and ANN controllers under identical simulation conditions. The study reveals the distinct advantages of each controller: PID provides the best damping performance, ANFIS offers a balanced adaptive response, and ANN achieves the fastest transient behavior. The proposed comparative methodology reduces inconsistencies in AVR controller evaluation caused by different experimental setups and provides practical guidance for selecting suitable control strategies.
