The proposed 2-DoF controller consists of a feedback and feedforward loop design. A feedback loop is used to maintain stability and desired performance, in which the PI controller is utilized for controlling the DC voltage at the outer loop, which generates the necessary speed reference. A Fuzzy logic controller is then used in the inner loop to achieve a faster speed response of the BLDC motor. Further, the performance of the system is made faster by incorporating dynamic feed-forward control. MATLAB Simulink is used to design and simulate the system. The OPAL-RT simulator is used to validate the system’s performance in real-time.</p>}, number={05}, journal={Distributed Generation & Alternative Energy Journal}, author={Kar, Biranchi Narayan and Samuel, Paulson and Pradhan, Jatin Kumar and Mallick, Amit}, year={2022}, month={Jul.}, pages={1613–1636} }
