description Abstract This manuscript proposes the Jellyfish Search Optimization (JSO) algorithm-based Fractional Order Proportional-Integral-Derivative (FOPID) controller tuning for a paper machine headbox. The novelty of this method lies in integrating the JSO technique for optimizing the parameters of the FOPID controller to monitor and control headbox pressure and stock level efficiently and effectively. The JSO algorithm ensures optimal tuning of controller parameters by minimizing error indices such as Integral of Squared Error (ISE), Integral of Time Absolute Error (ITAE), and Integral of Absolute Error (IAE). Simulations conducted on the MATLAB/Simulink platform demonstrate that the FOPID controller tuned using JSO achieves superior performance compared to conventional PI (Proportional-Integral) and PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controllers. Specifically, the JSO-tuned FOPID controller exhibited a 25% reduction in rise time, a 30% improvement in settling time, and a 20% decrease in overshoot when compared to the PID controller. Furthermore, comparative analyses with other optimization techniques, including Moth Flame Optimization (MFO), Ant Lion Optimization (ALO), and Elephant Herding Optimization (EHO), reveal that the JSO algorithm provides higher accuracy and stability in diverse operating conditions. This study underscores the efficacy of the JSO-tuned FOPID controller as a robust solution for complex industrial applications, such as paper machine headbox systems, and highlights its potential to enhance process efficiency and control precision.
