“…To this end, several advanced control approaches have been investigated to enhance the performance specifications from different aspects, i.e. hierarchical/nonlinear PID control [11]- [14], [19], passivity-based control [9], [17], [18], model predictive control [27], adaptive control approach [16], [28], robust control [6], fuzzy control [29], H ∞ control [30], and active disturbance rejection control [6], [15] for converter driven DC motor systems.…”
