This Paper deals with the tuning of PID controller using conventional methods and computational technique like Genetic Algorithm. The main objective is to prove that the response of the system obtained is more desirable and satisfactory when the PID controller is tuned using Genetic Algorithm than when tuned using traditional methods. The obtained value is compared with conventional methods like Ziegler Nicholas and Tyreus Luyben methods. The criteria used for comparison include time domain specifications, Performance index and robustness of the system.
