Abstract: The article presents an application of Fractional Model Predictive Control (FMPC) to a fractional order thermal system using Controlled Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (CARIMA) model obtained by discretization of a continuous fractional differential equation. Moreover, the output deviation approach is exploited to design the K -step ahead output predictor, and the corresponding control law is obtained by solving a quadratic cost function. Experiment results onto a thermal system are presented to emphasize the performances and the effectiveness of the proposed predictive controller.
Abstract: In this paper, we mainly study the stability of linear and
interval linear fractional systems with time delay. By applying the
characteristic equations, a necessary and sufficient stability condition
is obtained firstly, and then some sufficient conditions are deserved. In
addition, according to the equivalent relationship of fractional order
systems with order 0 < α ≤ 1 and with order 1 ≤ β < 2, one may
get more relevant theorems. Finally, two examples are provided to
demonstrate the effectiveness of our results.
Abstract: Design of an observer based controller for a class of
fractional order systems has been done. Fractional order mathematics
is used to express the system and the proposed observer. Fractional
order Lyapunov theorem is used to derive the closed-loop asymptotic
stability. The gains of the observer and observer based controller are
derived systematically using the linear matrix inequality approach.
Finally, the simulation results demonstrate validity and effectiveness
of the proposed observer based controller.
