Robust Stability Analysis of Unstable Second Order Plus Time-Delay (SOPTD) Plant by Fractional-Order Proportional Integral (FOPI) Controllers

Abstract

This study investigates the robust stability analysis of an unstable second order plus time-delay (SOPTD) plant by using Fractional-Order Proportional Integral (FOPI) controllers. We assume that there are simultaneous uncertainties in gain, time-constants, and time-delay of the plant. At first, a graphical method is provided for a robust stability analysis of the closed-loop system. Then, a robust stability checking function is introduced to facilitate the robust stability analysis. Additionally, new bounds are presented to reduce the computational burden for the robust stability analysis. Finally, two examples are provided to show the correctness of the proposed method.

Robust Tilt-Integral-Derivative Controllers for Fractional-Order Interval Systems

“…Fractional-order controllers can achieve these improvements with fewer components and less complexity than traditional controllers. Fractional-order controllers are widely used in various engineering fields, including control systems [7][8][9], robotics [10], power electronics [11], and process control [12]. Fractional-order controllers have also shown promising results in biomedical applications, such as controlling glucose levels in diabetic patients [13], and in active suspension systems for improving vehicle ride quality [14].…”

Application of Fractional Differential Model in Image Enhancement of Strong Reflection Surface

“…In recent years, fractional differential theory has gradually attracted great attention from engineering and technical personnel, and it has been applied to electrochemistry [1], material mechanics [2], fluid field theory [3], control theory [4,5], electromagnetic field theory [6], biomedicine [7], and signal processing [8]. Fractional differential theory has achieved fruitful research results.…”
