Fractional-Order Active Disturbance Rejection Control with Fuzzy Self-Tuning for Precision Stabilized Platform.

In this paper, a novel fractional-order active disturbance rejection control with fuzzy self-tuning method (FSFOADRC) is proposed for photoelectric tracking system (PTS). Firstly, aiming at the internal uncertainty of PTS and external disturbance, a fraction-order extended state observer (FOESO) is designed, and the FOESO can transform the plant into a simple form, which greatly simplifies the mathematical model. Secondly, a fuzzy regulator is applied to the proportion-differentiation controller (PD), increasing the flexibility and adaptivity of the controller. In addition, the stability of the whole control system can be guaranteed. Eventually, numerical comparative simulations are implemented to verify the feasibility and superiority of the proposed method. Compared with the integral-order active disturbance rejection control (IOADRC), fractional-order active disturbance rejection control (FOADRC) without the fuzzy regulator and proportion-integration-differentiation (PID) controller, the proposed method performs better with faster response, smaller overshoot, and stronger disturbance suppression capability.
