Abstract This paper presents a level control problem of a coupled two tank single input single output (SISO) system. A cascade control strategy is adopted having a fractional order proportional integral (FOPI) controller and fractional order proportional derivative (FOPD) controller in the outer and the inner loops, respectively. Cascaded integer order proportional integral (IOPI) and integer order proportional derivative (IOPD) controllers are also designed to compare the performances. A frequency domain approach is followed to design all the controllers. It is mathematically shown that the FOPI and FOPD controllers can achieve less steady state error and consume less energy than that of the IOPI and IOPD controllers while meeting the same phase margin and gain crossover frequency. All propositions are validated on an experimental setup.
