<p>Although the active disturbance rejection controller can obtain good control performance without relying on specific model information, it targets integer-order objects. Fractional-order characteristics are commonly existed in practical systems. For fractional-order objects, it is more targeted to use the order information of the fractional-order model to design the active disturbance rejection controller, so as to obtain better control performance. A fractional active disturbance rejection controller composed of FOESO and FOPID (IDE-FOPID-FOESO) is &nbsp;proposed in this paper. The fractional-order extended state observer (FOESO) is designed based on the order information and the nonlinear state error feedback is replaced by the fractional-order pid controller(FOPID) whose parameters are obtained by the improved differential evolution algorithm (IDE). For IDE algorithm, the basis vector is randomly selected from the optimal individual population in the mutation strategy, and the scaling factor and cross-probability factor are adaptively adjusted according to the information of the successfully mutated individual in the search process to improve the exploration and mining capabilities of the algorithm. The simulation results show that the IDE algorithm can obtain the better parameters of FOPID faster compared with traditional DE algorithm and the IDE-FOPID-FOESO controller can be better applied to fractional-order objects with better control performance.</p>

ASME 2021 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences & Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (IDETC/CIE2021)

Supporting the need among researchers worldwide for additional online and multimedia content, ASME now offers the ASME Conference Video Collection. This platform will collect and provide long-term access to conference presentation videos, encompassing all technology areas within ASME's technical conference and events program. About 30,000-40,000 engineers across all mechanical engineering and related disciplines participate in ASME conferences each year. This includes authors of approximately 6,000 to 8,000 technical papers published by ASME, the majority of whom also submit video presentations for our virtual conferences. The video collection will be available as an add-on to existing product packages or as a separate subscription.
