This study presents fractional order filters to enhance the performance of the conventional linear quadratic regulator (LQR) method for optimal robust control of a simple civil structure. The introduced filters modify the state variables fed back to the constant gain controller. Four combinations of fractional order filter and LQR are considered and optimized based on a new performance criterion defined in the paper. Introducing fractional order filters is shown to considerably improve the results for both the artificially generated ground motions and previously recorded earthquake data.

This study combines fractional order control with linear quadratic regulator (LQR) for optimal robust control of a simple civil structure. As a first attempt, the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that, when fractional damping is introduced, additional benefits can be obtained over the best traditional control method. The control problem of this paper can be used as a simple benchmark example to test new control ideas before applying to more complicated models.

For this paper, the problem of energy/voltage management in photovoltaic (PV)/battery systems was studied, and a new fractional-order control system on basis of type-3 (T3) fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) was developed. New fractional-order learning rules are derived for tuning of T3-FLSs such that the stability is ensured. In addition, using fractional-order calculus, the robustness was studied versus dynamic uncertainties, perturbation of irradiation, and temperature and abruptly faults in output loads, and, subsequently, new compensators were proposed. In several examinations under difficult operation conditions, such as random temperature, variable irradiation, and abrupt changes in output load, the capability of the schemed controller was verified. In addition, in comparison with other methods, such as proportional-derivative-integral (PID), sliding mode controller (SMC), passivity-based control systems (PBC), and linear quadratic regulator (LQR), the superiority of the suggested method was demonstrated.

The present study uses linear quadratic regulator (LQR) theory to control a vibratory system modeled by a fractional-order differential equation. First, as an example of such a vibratory system, a viscoelastically damped structure is selected. Second, a fractional-order LQR is designed for a system in which fractional-order differential terms are contained in the equation of motion. An iteration-based method for solving the algebraic Riccati equation is proposed in order to obtain the feedback gains for the fractional-order LQR. Third, a fractional-order state observer is constructed in order to estimate the states originating from the fractional-order derivative term. Fourth, numerical simulations are presented using a numerical calculation method corresponding to a fractional-order state equation. Finally, the numerical simulation results demonstrate that the fractional-order LQR control can suppress vibrations occurring in the vibratory system with viscoelastic damping.

This paper focuses on a comparative study of a reduced order linear quadratic regulator control (ROLQR) and conventional variable frequency hysteresis controller (HC) for power factor correction, and their performances are compared. A prototype of front-end AC–DC converter followed by DC–DC Cuk converter controlled by a dSPACE signal processor was set up for 60 watts. Experimental results are presented to validate the simulation results. Simulation and experimental results reveal that ROLQR control can achieve good output voltage regulation and also provide improved robustness in shaping the input current in the presence of load variations when compared to conventional HC.
