“…Though the system stability may be guaranteed by using the conventional proportional-integral (PI) or proportional-integral-derivative (PID) speed controllers (e.g., [7]) with well-chosen parameter values, the robustness to abrupt load changes in the motor may not be improved. This difficulty may be overcome by using a model-based predictive control strategy (e.g., [5,6,8]), an adaptive backstepping method (e.g., [9]), a descriptor approach (e.g., [10]), a composite nonlinear feedback control scheme (e.g., [11]), or a…”
