In order to maintain a steady indoor temperature in summer and winter, the control quality cannot meet the related requirements of air-conditioning automation, such as large overshoot, large steady state error, long regulating time, etc. In view of these factors, this paper develops a fractional order PID controller to deal with such problem associated with FCU. Then, by varying mutation factor and crossover rate of basic differential evolution algorithm adaptively, a modified differential evolution algorithm (MDEA) is designed to tune the satisfactory values of five parameters of indoor temperature fractional order PID controller. This fractional order PID control system is configured and the corresponding numerical simulation is conducted by means of MATLAB software. The results indicate that the proposed fractional order PID control system and MDEA are reliable and the related control performance indexes meet with the related requirements of comfortable air-conditioning design and control criteria. Key words: air-conditioning fan coil unit (FCU), fractional order PID control, modified differential evolution algorithm (MDEA), auto-tuning parameters of controller CLC number: TU 831.5 Document code: A
