Abstract
The objective of this work is to find out optimum settings for a fractional PIlambda controller in order to fulfill three different robustness specifications of design for the compensated system, taking advantage of the fractional order, lambda. Since this fractional controller has one parameter more than the conventional PI controller, one more specification can be fulfilled, improving the performance of the system and making it more robust to plant uncertainties, such as gain and time constant changes. For the tuning of the controller an iterative optimization method has been used, based on a nonlinear function minimization. Two real examples of application are presented and simulation results are shown to illustrate the effectiveness of this kind of unconventional controllers.
