This paper investigates the challenging problem of liquid level control in Coupled Tank Systems (CTS). CTS, characterized by its nonlinear behaviour and sensitivity to disturbances, presents significant control challenges. This report suggests and assesses several control measures to solve these problems. Mathematical models are developed to capture the system’s nonlinear dynamics, and controllers such as Proportional-Integral (PI) and Sliding Mode Controllers (SMC) are designed. The PI controller effectively regulates the amount of fluid in the second tank by modifying the water pump in the initial tank. It is well known that the sliding mode controller (SMC) is robust to uncertainties and disturbances. The simulation results are carried out for FOSMC and PI controllers for various tracking signals with MATLAB. Because of its intrinsic nonlinearities and tank-to-tank interactions, the coupled tank system is a dynamic system that is extensively researched in control engineering. It is a useful field of study because of its use in industrial operations where liquid levels need to be kept at predetermined levels in spite of disruptions. Because the system is frequently modelled as a multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) system, control solutions face particular difficulties.
