This article presents a simple method of designing a fractional filter PID controller for second order plus time delay (SOPTD) processes using internal model control (IMC) scheme. There has been limited number of tuning rules for SOPTD processes developed using direct synthesis method and IMC method. The proposed IMC-PID controller using fractional IMC filter results in a controller structure c...

In this paper, a fractional order flight controller design scheme for the altitude control of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) UAV is presented. The altitude control system can be decoupled and identified as a simple first order plus time delay model under some constraints. Based on this identified model, the traditional modified Ziegler-Nichols PI controller can be designed. Meanwhile, the...

Abstract: The object of this study is to develop a self-tuning fractional order proportionalintegral-derivative (SFOPID) controller for controlling the mover position of a direct drive linear voice coil motor (VCM) accurately under different operational conditions. The fractional order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) controller can improve the control performances of the conventional i...

In order to optimize the parameters of fractional order PID controller of complex system, an adaptive particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is proposed to realize the parameters adjustment. In this algorithm, the tuning particle population is divided into three subgroups firstly, and through introducing the swarm-aggregation degree factor and the evolution speed factor of particle, dynamical...

In this paper we propose a Fractional Order Controller for an under-actuated system (POAC). This system has two degrees-of-freedom and one control input. The model of the system is derived using Euler Lagrange method and the stabilization is achieved with constraints using Fractional Order Controller. To validate the control law, simulation are performed and compared with Integer Order Controll...

This paper studied the implementation of fractional order PID controller for the control of an induction motor (IM). The perfection of the system performance in terms of response time and robustness is illustrated by adjusting the fractional order integral action and derivative action. A comparative study with a conventional PID controller is carried out. The observer is simple and robust, and ...

The development of fractional-order controllers is currently one of the most promising fields of research. However, most of the work in this area addresses the case of linear systems. This paper reports on the analysis of fractional-order control of nonlinear systems. The performance of discrete fractional-order PID controllers in the presence of several nonlinearities is discussed. Some result...

Random delays have serious effects in networked control systems, which deteriorate the performance and may even cause instability of the system. Hence a controller which can make the plant stable at large values of delay is always desirable in NCS systems. Our previous work on OFOPI controller showed that fractional order PI controllers have larger jitter margin (maximum value of delay for whic...

In this paper, a high-performance optimal fractional emotional intelligent controller for an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) in power system using Cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA) is proposed. AVR is the main controller within the excitation system that preserves the terminal voltage of a synchronous generator at a specified level. The proposed control strategy is based on brain emotional ...
