“…The proportional integral derivative (PID) controller has also been widely used in speed regulation, in combination with other techniques, such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, predictive control, and adaptive control, for proper tuning of such drivers [10]- [14]. Other more modern speed control techniques have also been applied, such as, for example, internal model control (IMC), control by pole assignment, model-based predictive control (MPC), and the use of state observers, among others [15]- [18]. The present work is based on the application of some control techniques in the speed control of DC and AC drives.…”
