In this paper we study the control of a heat diffusion system based on the application of the fractional calculus concepts. In this perspective, several algorithms are investigated and compared, when integrated within a Smith predictor structure. Simulations are presented assessing the performance of the proposed fractional algorithms.

The advantageous use of fractional calculus (FC) in the modeling and control of many dynamical systems has been recognized. In this paper, we study the control of a heat diffusion system based on the application of the FC concepts. Several algorithms are investigated and compared, when integrated within a Smith predictor control structure. Simulations are presented assessing the performance of the proposed fractional algorithms.

The PID controller is by far the most dominating form of feedback in use in the process industries, due to its functional simplicity and performance. In this work, we apply a generalization of the PID, namely the fractional controller PIDβ, to the heat diffusion system. For the PIDβ tuning are used four performance indices, to find the optimum controller settings by taking advantage of the fractional order β. The effect of actuator saturation and the required control energy are also analyzed.

Fractional Calculus (FC) goes back to the beginning of the theory of differential calculus. Nevertheless, the application of FC just emerged in the last two decades, due to the progress in the area of chaos that revealed subtle relationships with the FC concepts. In the field of dynamical systems theory some work has been carried out but the proposed models and algorithms are still in a preliminary stage of establishment. Having these ideas in mind, the paper discusses FC in the study of system dynamics and control. In this perspective, this paper investigates the use of FC in the fields of controller tuning, legged robots, redundant robots, heat diffusion, and digital circuit synthesis.
