“…The shafts may draw energy from motor drives or energy from inertial parts causing instability. Some common examples of such engineering systems could be elastic structures subjected to aerodynamic forces, dissipative forces in couplings, hydrodynamic forces due to bearing supporting the rotor (Mukherjee et al, 1984;Mukherjee et al, 1994;Aurich et al, 2009;Glebov et al, 2005;Glebov et al, 2007). This work is devoted to design a completely novel approach for well-tuned bi-stage 2-degree PID type controller using blends of optimal control in the initial stage and then improvising the controller further using the elements of fractional order (Burrows et al, 1989;Dimitri et al, 2010).…”
