Fractional Order Modeling And Control: Development Of Analog Strategies For Plasma Position Control Of The Stor-1m Tokamak, Shayok Mukhopadhyay

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This work revolves around the use of fractional order calculus in control science. Techniques such as fractional order universal adaptive stabilization (FO-UAS), and the fascinating results of their application to real-world systems, are presented initially. A major portion of this work deals with fractional order modeling and control of real-life systems like heat flow, fan and plate, and coupled tank systems. The fractional order models and controllers are not only simulated, they are also emulated using analog hardware. The main aim of all the above experimentation is to develop a fractional order controller for plasma position control of the Saskatchewan …
