Predictive Functional Control for Fractional Order System.

The fractional calculus is the area of mathematics that handles derivatives and integrals of any arbitrary order (fractional or integer, real or complex order). Predictive Functional Control (PFC) is one of the most popular methods of model predictive control. The implementation of the predictive functional controller (PFC) on the fractional order systems has been presented in this paper. The effect of various approximations, sensitivity analysis, tuning of predictive functional controller parameters, the effect of delay and noise analysis of the fractional-order system has been considered. It has been shown that, in fractional order system, predictive functional control gives acceptable results.
