Obtaining the time response of control systems with fractional order PID from frequency responses

The paper deals with obtaining the time response of closed loop control system with fractional order PID controller using frequency response data. For this aim, a feedback control system with an integer order plant and a fractional order PID controller are studied. The real and imaginary parts of the closed loop transfer function are obtained which depend on the parameters Kp, Ki, Kd, λ and μ of fractional order PID controller and real and imaginary parts of the plant. Then the time domain responses of the closed loop control system with fractional order PID controller are plotted by using Inverse Fourier Transform Method (IFTM) or Fourier Series Method (FSM). The presented idea is supported by some numerical examples.
