In this paper, an attempt has been made to design Internal Model Control (IMC), for a class of overdamped higher order systems using Genetic Algorithm. The IMC scheme is more simple in its tuning and implementation as compared to classical feedback control structure. To deal with the complexities of higher order systems, they are reduced to First Order Plus Delay models using some well-established model order reduction technique. Since IMC control performance depends on the accuracy of plants being modelled, therefore an effort has been made in the present work to minimize the modeling error while model order reduction by introducing the concept of non-integer order systems. To show the greatness of IMC performance, incorporating the reduced non-integer model over integer order model, a comparative study has been made.
