A PID controller drives a system to its setpoint using three terms: proportional reacts to the current error, integral eliminates steady-state offset, and derivative damps overshoot. Tuning the three gains trades off speed, overshoot, and stability — the workhorse of industrial control.

Governing equation

u (t) = 4.0 e (t) + 1.00 \int e d t + 0.5 \frac{d e}{d t}

Reading this result: Balanced gains — proportional for speed, integral to remove offset, derivative to damp overshoot: the textbook well-tuned response.

Power factor

Three-phase power delivers energy on three conductors carrying sinusoids 120° apart, so total power is constant and motors self-start. Line and phase voltages differ by √3, and real power is P = √3·V_line·I·cosφ. The power factor cosφ measures how much current actually does useful work.

Governing equation

P = 3 V_{L} I cos φ = 3 \times 400 \times 20 \times 0.9 = 12.5 kW

Reading this result: Real power P = √3·V_line·I·cosφ = 12.5 kW, trailing the 13.9 kVA apparent power by the angle φ = 26°.
