Gain and Order Scheduling of Optimal Fractional Order PID Controllers for Random Delay and Packet Dropout in Networked Control Systems

Abstract:

Application of fractional order (FO) PID controllers has been proposed over an unreliable network with random delays and packet dropouts. The gain and order of the controllers have been tuned offline to obtain optimal time domain performance for different network conditions with the help of Genetic Algorithm (GA). The FO controller parameters are then scheduled for time varying network conditions and the performance is compared with their integer order counterparts.
