—This paper looks at frequency domain design of a fractional order (FO) PID controller for an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) system. Various performance criteria of the AVR system are formulated as system norms and is then coupled with an evolutionary multi-objective optimization (MOO) algorithm to yield Pareto optimal design trade-offs. The conflicting performance measures consist of the mi...

Genetic algorithm (GA) has been used in this study for a new approach of suboptimal model reduction in the Nyquist plane and optimal time domain tuning of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) and fractional-order (FO) PI(λ)D(μ) controllers. Simulation studies show that the new Nyquist-based model reduction technique outperforms the conventional H(2)-norm-based reduced parameter modeling techn...

Abstract—The fractional–order proportional integral (FOPI) controller tuning rules based on the fractional calculus for the cascade control system are systematically proposed in this paper. Accordingly, the ideal controller is obtained by using internal model control (IMC) approach for both the inner and outer loops, which gives the desired closed-loop responses. On the basis of the fractional ...

In this work, a class of fractional order controller (FOPID) is tuned based on internal model control (IMC). This tuning rule has been obtained without any approximation of time delay. Moreover to show usefulness of fractional order controller in comparison with classical integer order controllers, an industrial PID controller tuned in a similar way, is compared with FOPID and then robust stabi...

A weighted summation of Integral of Time Multiplied Absolute Error (ITAE) and Integral of Squared Controller Output (ISCO) minimization based time domain optimal tuning of fractional-order (FO) PID or PIλDμ controller is proposed in this paper with a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) based technique that minimizes the change in trajectories of the state variables and the control signal. A class ...

This paper proposes a novel fractional order PID controller for torsional system’s backlash vibration suppression control, in which the order k of D controller can not only be integer but also be any real number. Various methods have been proposed for two-inertia system’s speed control, but the control systems designed by these methods may not be able to suppress the vibration caused by gear ba...
