Shahrazad Elmetennani, et al., " Performance analysis of fractional-order PID controller for a parabolic distributed solar collector". In 2017 IEEE AFRICON, 2017, 440. Abstract: This paper studies the performance of a fractional-order proportional integral derivative (FOPID) controller designed for parabolic distributed solar collectors. The control problem addressed in concentrated solar collectors aims at forcing the produced heat to follow a desired reference despite the unevenly varying solar irradiance. In addition to the unpredictable variations of the energy source, the parabolic solar
