Control of a heat diffusion system through a fractional order nonlinear algorithm

The application of the FC concepts has increased significantly in different fields of science and engineering, because FC captures properties that classical integer order models neglect. This paper studies a heat diffusion system, that is described through the fractional operator s0.5s0.5, under the control of a fractional nonlinear algorithm. The tuning of the algorithm follows the optimization of performance control indices. The results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed controller.
