Meta-heuristic Design of fracional order PID controller

Abstract

In this Project, a fractional order PID controller is. Using numerical optimization (PSO), numerous simulation comparisons presented in this paper indicate that, the fractional order PID controller, if properly designed and implemented, will outperform the conventional integer order PID controller. It was shown that the best FO PID works better than IO PID. For actually implementation, we introduced a modified approximation method to realize the designed fractional order PID controller. We used simulation to illustrate that the order the approximation does not affect the control performance in any noticeable amount. With the rapid development of computer performances, the realization of fractional order control systems also became possible and much easier than before. Despite fractional order control’s promising aspects in modeling and control design, fractional order control research is still at its primary stage. The notable future research is to develop tuning rules for FO PID and in particular on tuning the fractional orders.
