Abstract: This paper proposes a novel methodology for performance enhancement of simple feedback control by means of fractional order filters applied to the speed drive of an induction machine. Three performance indexes are used for this aim namely the integral square error (ISE), integral absolute error (IAE) and integral time absolute error (ITAE). A first order filter in different positions of the control loop is considered in presence of a noise source in order to design the filter configuration. Then, an optimisation of the fractional order filter is realised. Comparative simulation results are given to illustrate the superiority and robustness of the proposed control scheme with regard to integer order filters and unfiltered controllers.

Keywords: fractional order filter; fractional order systems; induction machine; pi controller; performance index; speed control.
