Approximation of Fractional Order PIλDμ-Controller Transfer Function Using Chain Fractions

Abstract

The approximation of a fractional order PIλDμ-controller transfer function using a chain fraction theory is considered. Analytical expressions for the approximation of s±α components of the transfer functions of PIλDμ-controllers were obtained through the application of the chain fraction theory. Graphs of transition functions and frequency characteristics of Dμ (α = μ = 0.5) and Iλ (α = λ = −0.5) parts for five different decomposition orders were obtained and analyzed. The results showed the possibility of applying the approximation of the PIλDμ-controller transfer function by the method of chain fractions with different valuesof λ and μ. For comparison, the transfer functions with the same order polynomials, obtained by the methods of Oustaloup transformation and chain fractions, were approximated for α = ±0.5. The analysis proved the advantages of using the chain fraction method to approximate the transfer function of the PIλDμ-controller. The performed approximation opens up the possibility of developing engineering methods for the technical implementation of PIλDμ-controllers. The accuracy of the same order transfer function approximation is higher when the method of chain fractions is used. It has been established that the adequacy of the frequency characteristics of the transfer functions obtained by the chain fraction method also depends on the approximation order.

“…A key component in the proposed FOPPI controller design is the fractional-order integrator, expressed as 1/s λ in Equation ( 8). Oustaloup's approximation technique is employed to approximate this integrator, which involves setting the parameters (ω b ,ω h ) = (10 −5 , 10 5 ) and N = 5, as suggested by the researchers in [9,10]. This approximation resulted in the following transfer function for the fractional-order integrator:…”
