%0 Journal Article %T Real Time Implementation of Fractional Order Controller (PI ¦Ë) in an Air Flow Temperature System %A K.Vaithiyanathan %A Dr.P.K.Bhaba %J International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering %D 2013 %I IJRTE %X A fractional order Proportional-Integral controller ( PI¦Ë ) for Air Flow Temperature System (AFTS) is designed and implemented in real time . Controller parameters KP & KI are derived from the Fractional Order Characteristic Polynomial (FOCP) in terms of frequency ¦Ø and fractional order ¦Ë .The global stability region in KP - KI plane is constructed for each ¦Ë . By optimization techniques, K P average, KIaverage and corresponding ¦Ë are identified. The real time implementation of PI¦Ë controller in AFTS is done. The PI¦Ë controller performances such as ISE and IAE are analyzed. A comparison with other conventional based control technique is made and the results reveal the effectiveness and validity of the proposed methodology. PI¦Ë controller outperforms the conventional PI controllers. The load disturbance studies is also carried out and justifies the supremacy of PI¦Ë controller. %K Fractional order Proportional-Integral controller (PI¦Ë) %K AFTS %K Global stability region. %U http://www.ijrte.org/attachments/File/v1i6/F0440021613.pdf
