Fractional-order controller design in frequency domain using an improved nonlinear adaptive seeker optimization algorithm

Abstract

Abstract:Two nonlinear adaptive versions of the conventional seeker optimization algorithm (SOA) have been proposed for the design of fractional-order controllers using frequency domain specifications. The highly nonlinear and undetermined nature of equations resulting from controller design specifications rules out obtaining a closed-form solution. In this regard, the controller design task has been formulated as an optimization problem and solved using modified variants of the SOA. With the nonlinear adaptation of tuning parameters, the proposed variants of the SOA increase the probability of finding global optima along with improved convergence speed. This has been achieved by incorporating exponential weighting and chaotic behavior in the search process. The validation of the proposed techniques on a set of fractional-order controller design problems clearly exhibits their superiority over other algorithms and controller design techniques. The hardware implementation of the controllers on a DSP TMS320F2812 board ensures applicability for real-time applications.

Optimization of Coupling Efficiency in Butterfly Optical Communication Laser Based on Chaotic Adaptive Seeker Optimization Algorithm

“…The seeker optimization algorithm (SOA) achieves the global optimum in a robust and fast manner [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. Unlike the PSO, the SOA can narrow the neighborhood search range when searchers are in better positions and can expand the search range when searchers are in inferior positions.…”

“…The tuning of fractional-order proportional integral (FOPI) controller parameters with the artificial bee colony (ABC) [35] technique has been presented, which is complex in objective function evaluation and low convergence speed. The parameter-tuning task of FOPI is formulated as an optimization problem and solved with the seeker optimization algorithm (SOA) in [36]. The harmony search (HS) algorithm is reported in [37] for FOPI parameter optimization to control the power-switched reluctance motor.…”

“…There exist three more cases with regard to the class of controllers and system models in the usage of fractional calculus, i.e. integer-order control for fractional-order models [2] and fractional-order control for integer-order models [3][4][5][6][7] and fractional-order models [8,9]. The behavior of real-time systems are often expressed using higher-order differential equations.…”
