Abstract: In this paper, chaos of a generalized van der Pol system with fractional orders is studied. Both nonautonomous and autonomous systems are considered in detail. Chaos in the nonautonomous generalized van der Pol system excited by a sinusoidal time function with fractional orders is studied. Next, chaos in the autonomous generalized van der Pol system with fractional orders is considered. By numerical analyses, such as phase portraits, Poincaré maps and bifurcation diagrams, periodic, and chaotic motions are observed. Finally, it is found that chaos exists in the fractional order system with the order both less than and more than the number of the states of the integer order generalized van der Pol system.
