Model-based fractional order controller design

Abstract This paper deals with model-based fractional order controller design. The objective is identification for controller design in order to achieve the desired closed-loop performances. Firstly, the fractional order closed-loop bias-eliminated least squares method is used to identify the process model. Then, based on the numerical optimization of a frequency-domain criterion, the fractional controller is designed. If the proposed algorithm detects any changes in the process parameters, the controller is updated to keep the same performances. A numerical example is presented to show the efficiency of the proposed scheme.
