摘要:AbstractThis paper presents the design of a fractional order combined model reference adaptive control scheme. This approach is based on the estimates of the plant unknown parameters and the adjusted controller parameters, which are obtained from adaptive laws using the identification error, the control error and the so called closed loop estimation errors. Fractional order indirect algebraic model reference adaptive control and fractional order indirect dynamic model reference adaptive control schemes are also proposed in this paper, which are used for comparison purposes with the combined approach. Boundedness of all the signals in the control schemes is analytically proved, as well as the convergence to zero of the mean values of the control, identification and closed loop estimation errors. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategies.
