A New Fractional Order Observer Design for Fractional Order Nonlinear Systems

In this paper, a class of fractional order systems is considered and simple fractional order observers have been proposed to estimate the system’s state variables. By introducing a fractional calculus into the observer design, the developed fractional order observers guarantee the estimated states reach the original system states. Using the fractional order Lyapunov approach, the stability (zero convergence) of the error system is investigated. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate validity and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
