Abstract

Utilizing Heating PID control systems is common across numerous industries to attain the desired output. Nevertheless, the development in the status of Fractional Order Proportional Integral Derivative Controllers (FOPID) has led to improved control performance and increased degrees of freedom in industrial applications. The paper proposed real-time microwave heating systems which exhibit several challenging characteristics and are complex enough to effectively demonstrate the robustness advantage of fractional (FOPID) over traditional PID controllers. An Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) was modeled using real-time data to assess the effectiveness of conventional PID and FOPID controllers. The results of the study demonstrated that FOPID controllers outperform conventional PID controllers in terms of performance, robustness, stability, flexibility, and faster response. Additionally, the study utilized MATLAB and LabVIEW software to model the Fractional PID controller, the traditional PID controller, and the ANFIS model. The outcomes illustrate that the FOPID controller demonstrates faster rise times (3.8 seconds vs. 6.0 seconds for PID), lower overshoot (1.0oC vs. 2.5oC, and shorter settling times (10 seconds vs. 17 seconds). During setpoint drops, FOPID exhibits reduced undershoot (1.40C compared to 3.2oC) and quicker recovery (5.5 seconds vs. 8.5 seconds). In the final tracking phase, FOPID maintains a lower residual error ( 0.20C vs. 0.7oC) and achieves a steady-state error of 0.1oC, compared to 0.5oC for PID.
