Fractional order control is like teaching a kid how to ride a bicycle with the help of a stabilizer. Just like the stabilizer provides support to the bike when the kid is learning to ride, fractional order control helps a machine or a system to stabilize when it is not working as expected.
In simpler terms, when we have a problem with a machine or a system, we want to control it to make it work properly. To do so, we use a type of control called "fractional order control". Fractional order control is a way to adjust the behavior of a system or machine using math formulas that involve numbers that are not whole, like 0.5 or 1.3. These numbers tell the system or machine how much to adjust its behavior.
A good example of how fractional order control works is in a household thermostat. The thermostat measures the temperature in your house and decides if it needs to turn on the heating or cooling system. If the temperature is too high or too low, the thermostat will signal the heating or cooling system to adjust the temperature. Similarly, fractional order control helps to adjust the behavior of machines to make them work better.
So, to summarize, fractional order control is a type of control that helps machines and systems to adjust their behavior by using math formulas with numbers that are not whole. It is similar to using a stabilizer to help a kid learn how to ride a bicycle, but in this case, it helps machines and systems to stabilize when they are not working correctly.
