Abstract

In the paper a new accuracy estimation method for Oustaloup approximation is presented. Oustaloup approximation is a fundamental tool to describe fractional-order systems with the use of integer-order, proper transfer function. The accuracy of approximation can be estimated via comparison of impulse responses for plant and Oustaloup approximation. The impulse response of the plant was calculated with the use of an accurate analytical formula and it can be interpreted as a standard. Approach presented in the paper can be applied to effective tuning of Oustaloup approximant for given application (for example in FO PID controller). The use of proposed method does not require us to know time response of a modeled controller. The proposed methodology can be easily generalized to another known approximations. Results of simulations show that the good performance of approximation is reached for low order and narrow angular frequency range.
