The control of power converters is difficult due to their non-linear nature and, hence, the quest for smart and efficient controllers is continuous and ongoing. Fractional-order controllers have demonstrated superior performance in power electronic systems in recent years. However, it is a challenge to attain optimal parameters of the fractional-order controller for such types of systems. This article describes the optimal design of a fractional order PID (FOPID) controller for a buck converter using the cohort intelligence (CI) optimization approach. The CI is an artificial intelligence-based socio-inspired meta-heuristic algorithm, which has been inspired by the behavior of a group of candidates called a cohort. The FOPID controller parameters are designed for the minimization of various performance indices, with more emphasis on the integral squared error (ISE) performance index. The FOPID controller shows faster transient and dynamic response characteristics in comparison to the conventional PID controller. Comparison of the proposed method with different optimization techniques like the GA, PSO, ABC, and SA shows good results in lesser computational time. Hence the CI method can be effectively used for the optimal tuning of FOPID controllers, as it gives comparable results to other optimization algorithms at a much faster rate. Such controllers can be optimized for multiple objectives and used in the control of various power converters giving rise to more efficient systems catering to the Industry 4.0 standards.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to improve static/dynamic characteristics of active-controlled hydrostatic journal bearing by using fractional order control techniques and optimizing algorithms. Design/methodology/approach Active lubrication has ability to overcome the unpredictable harsh environmental conditions which often lead to failure of capillary controlled traditional hydrostatic journal bearing. The research develops a mathematical model for a servo feedback-controlled hydrostatic journal bearing and dynamics of model is analyzed with different control techniques. The fractional-order PID control system is tuned by using particle swarm optimization and Nelder mead optimization techniques with the help of using multi-objective performance criteria. Findings The results of the current research are compared with previously published theoretical and experimental results. The proposed servo-controlled active bearing system is studied under a number of different dynamic situations and constraints of variable spindle speed, external load, temperature changes (viscosity) and variable bearing clearance (oil film thickness). The simulation results show that the proposed system has better performance in terms of controllability, faster response, stability, high stiffness and strong resistance. Originality/value This paper develops an accurate mathematical model for servo-controlled hydrostatic bearing with fractional order controller. The results are in excellent agreement with previously published literature.

In this paper, the approximation of a fractional-order PIDcontroller is proposed to control a DC–DC converter. The synthesis and tuning process of the non-integer PID controller is described step by step. A biquadratic approximation is used to produce a flat phase response in a band-limited frequency spectrum. The proposed method takes into consideration both robustness and desired closed-loop characteristics, keeping the tuning process simple. The transfer function of the fractional-order PID controller and its time domain representation are described and analyzed. The step response of the fractional-order PID approximation shows a faster and stable regulation capacity. The comparison between typical PID controllers and the non-integer PID controller is provided to quantify the regulation speed introduced by the fractional-order PID approximation. Numerical simulations are provided to corroborate the effectiveness of the non-integer PID controller.

Fractional-order PID (FOPID) controller is a generalization of standard PID controller using fractional calculus. Compared to PID controller, the tuning of FOPID is more complex and remains a challenge problem. This paper focuses on the design of FOPID controller using wound healing algorithm (WHA) based on clonal selection principle. The tuning of FOPID controller is formulated as a nonlinear optimization problem, in which the objective function is composed of overshoot, steady-state error, raising time and settling time. WHA algorithm, a newly developed evolutionary algorithm inspired by human immune system, is used as the optimizer to search the best parameters of FOPID controller. The designed WHA-FOPID controller is applied to various systems. Numerous numerical simulations and comparisons with other FOPID/PID controllers show that the WHA-FOPID controller can not only ensure good control performance with respect to reference input but also improve the system robustness with respect to model uncertainties.

A new training method is proposed, which could solve the problem of that parameters of fractional order controller are not easy to be selected. This method which based on the principle of gravity optimizes parameters. Random initial parameter based on step was set as coordinate form which in the midpoint of the multidimensional space. The error between the actual output and the target output was set as radius. This method had advantages which could not need to calculate the gradient and could randomly select initial. Through the simulation experiment, this method is successfully applied in the fractional order PID controller, which obtains the optimal parameters.

This paper addresses a control frequency scheme of the microgrid system using a fractional order PID controller. The proposed Microgrid system is consisted of a Photovoltaic System, Wind Turbine Generator, Diesel Engine Generator, Fuel Cell, and different storage systems like Battery Energy Storage Systems, and Flywheel Energy Storage Systems. The principal objective of the present paper is to limit the frequency and power deviations by the application of the proposed controller which has five parameters to be determined through optimization techniques. Krill Herd algorithm is used for determining the optimum fractional order PID controller parameters using the Integral of Squared Error. A comparison between the Genetic Algorithm and Krill Herd is done, and the obtained simulation results presents that the investigated controller-based Krill Herd outperforms the Genetic Algorithm in terms of fewer fluctuations in power and frequency deviation.


Modified pendulum is a commonplace trial territory for the investigation of control hypotheses. The adjusting of a reversed pendulum by moving a truck along a flat track is a commonplace issue in the zone of control. So as to improve the capacity of PID controller reacting for the heap unsettling influence, controller tuning guidelines assume fundamental job. This work engaged with enhancement of the PID control parameters for controlling the pendulum in upstanding position particularly with the best heartiness and contrasting it tentatively and ideal settings of a fragmentary PIλDμ controller which can satisfy five distinctive plan details for the shut circle framework, exploiting the fragmentary requests, λ and μ. Since these partial controllers have two parameters more than the customary PID controller improves the presentation of the framework. The pendulum has been adjusted in the upstanding position utilizing the two techniques and the exploratory outcomes are analyzed and announced. The recreation just as exploratory aftereffects of ordinary PID controller demonstrate that the arrangement of new and tuned controller parameters are furnishing the outcomes with better shut circle execution thought about than other tuning methods. And furthermore the control ability and the framework execution furnished by fragmentary request PID controller with the determined new arrangement of parameters has been tentatively demonstrated that the partial request PID controller gives controller execution relatively superior to the customary one along these lines it isn't just controlling the ongoing framework with better adjustment and following control yet additionally have heartiness to aggravations
