Abstract

This work reports analog implementation of \(\hbox {PI}^\lambda \hbox {D}^\mu \) controller realized by solid-state fractional capacitor. The fractional integrator is implemented with a solid-state fractional capacitor fabricated by the authors, and the fractional differentiator circuit is implemented using optimal pole–zero interlacing algorithm. The paper proposes a tuning algorithm for finding the parameters of the fractional \(\hbox {PI}^{\lambda }\hbox {D}^{\mu }\) controller to get the desired time domain performance. Using the tuning algorithm, the combinations of \(\lambda \), \(\mu \) and gain values of the controller are evaluated on a DC motor emulator to limit % overshoot \(\le \) 12% and settling time < 13 ms. The performance of the controller (with \(\lambda = \mu = 0.4\)) on speed regulation of DC motor emulator has also been discussed in detail both in simulation and in hardware.
