TL;DR: In this paper, a robust fractional order controller (FPI) is proposed for water distribution in irrigation main canal pools characterized by time-varying dynamical parameters, where the closed loop behavior of the nominal plant is defined by using frequency specifications, which are combined with an optimization procedure that minimizes the IAE (Integral of Absolute Error) -a cost related to the closed-loop time response specifications - in the whole range of plant parameter variations.

TL;DR: In this article, a control-oriented model of a complex irrigation main canal pool (plant), characterized by the exhibition of large variations in their dynamic parameters when the discharge regime changes in the operating range [Q min, Q max ], has been developed using system identification for control procedure and also using real-time data.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fractional order PI α controller combined with a Smith Predictor is designed using time domain specifications, which is compared with the standard Smith predictor combined with PI α.
