An analytical design for proportional integral derivative (PID) controller cascaded with a fractional-order filter is proposed for first-order unstable processes with time delay. The design algorithm is based on the internal model control (IMC) paradigm. A two degrees-of-freedom (2DOF) control structure is used to improve the performance of the closed-loop system. In the 2DOF control structure, an integer order controller is used to stabilize the inner-loop, and a fractional-order controller for the stabilized system is employed to improve the performance of the closed-loop system. The Walton–Marshall's method, which is applicable to quasi-polynomials, is then used to establish the internal stability condition of the closed-loop system (the fractional part of the controller in particular) and to seek the set of stabilizing proportional (P) or proportional-derivative (PD) controller parameters.

The features of internal model control (IMC) design based on the first order anisochronic model are investigated in this paper. The structure of the anisochronic model is chosen in order to fit both the dominant pole and the dominant zero of the system dynamics being approximated. Thanks to its fairly plain structure, the model is suitable for use in IMC design. However, use of the anisochronic model in IMC design may result in so-called neutral dynamics of the closed loop. This phenomenon is studied in this paper via analysing the spectra of the closed loop system.

The coupled tanks process is a two input-two output system. It presents a nonlinear behavior and interactions characteristic. After the nonlinear model is obtained, it is linearized around an operating point. A fractional-order proportional–integral–derivative based on the internal model control paradigm (1DOF-IMC-PID-FO) multi-loop controller is determined without considering the interactions, and a fractional-order proportional–integral–derivative based on the 2-degree-of-freedom internal model control structure (2DOF-IMC-PID-FO) multi-loop controller is determined by considering the interactions. Thus, an interactions reduction effect controller is calculated. Both controllers are implemented on a real-time process using the Real Time Windows Target of MATLAB. The objective of the control is to maintain the water level in the lower tanks at desired values. In the experiment, setpoint tracking and disturbance rejection tests are carried out to assess the performance of both 1DOF and 2DOF-IMC-PID-FO multi-loop controllers.

Time delays are generally unavoidable in the designing frameworks for mechanical and electrical systems and so on.. In both continuous and discrete schemes, the existence of delay creates undesirable impacts on the under-thought which forces exacting constraints on attainable execution.The presence of delay confounds the design structure procedure also. It makes continuous systems boundless dimensional and also extends the readings in discrete systems fundamentally. As the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller based on internal model control is essential and strong to address the vulnerabilities and aggravations of the model. But for an real industry process, they are less susceptible to noise than the PID controller.It results in just one tuning parameter which is the time constant of the closed-loop system λ, the internal model control filter factor.It additionally gives a decent answer for the procedure with huge time delays. The design of the PID controller based on the internal model control, with approximation of time delay using Pade’ and Taylor’s series is depicted in this paper. The first order filter used in the design provides good set-point tracking along with disturbance rejection.

This paper displays an simple method for identification of controller for wind based Quadratic Boost Converter Inverter system. India, being the fourth largest wind power generator has attracted numerous researchers towards the improvement of wind energy conversion system. This paper also presents improved controller techniques for a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) coupled with Cascaded Quadratic Boost Converter (QBC) and Space Vector Modulation Inverter (SVMI). The digital simulation and execution of PMSG based wind turbine along with QBC and SVM Inverter is presented in a closed loop system. The performance of closed loop system is realized using Proportional Integral (PI) and Fractional Order Proportional Integral (FOPI) controllers. Initially, the AC power from PMSG wind turbine is rectified to DC using rectifier circuit. The DC power from the bridge rectifier is then boosted to the required level using quadratic boost converter. The output from QBC is then given to the SVM inverter. The closed loop investigations are carried with PI and FOPI controllers. The simulation results of both PI and FOPI controlled QBC are compared. The outcome of FOPI controller represents that the steady state error and settling time are reduced when compared to PI controlled closed loop Quadratic Boost Converter. The overall Matlab/simulink model is applied to undergraduate/postgraduate course as a educational tool and assessed thoroughly.

To improve handling and stability for distributed drive electric vehicles (DDEV), the study on four wheel steering (4WS) systems can improve the vehicle driving performance through enhancing the tracking capability to desired vehicle state. Most previous controllers are either a large amount of calculation, or requires a lot of experimental data, these are relatively time-consuming and laborious. According to the front and rear wheel steering angle of DDEV can be distributed independently, a novel controller named internal model controller with fractional-order filter (IMC-FOF) for 4WS systems is proposed and studied in this paper. The IMC-FOF is designed using the internal model control theory and compared with IMC and PID controller. The influence of time constant and fractional-order parameters which is optimized using quantum genetic algorithms (QGA) on tracking ability of vehicle state are also analyzed. Using a production vehicle as an example, the simulation is performed combining Matlab/Simulink and CarSim. The comparison results indicated that the proposed controller presents performance to distribute the front and rear wheel steering angle for ensuring better tracking capability to desired vehicle state, meanwhile it possesses strong robustness.
