Abstract
The main aim of this paper is to present stability region analysis for a closed-loop system with the second-order model with a time delay and continuous-time fractional-order proportionalderivative (PD) controller. The model of the plant used in the paper approximates the dynamics
of a simplified motor–rotor model of multirotor’s propulsion system. The controller tuning method is based on Hermite–Biehler and Pontryagin theorems. The tracking performance is also analysed in the paper by observing the integral of absolute error and integral of squared error indices. The presented results are expected to be useful in future when comparing simulation with experimental results.
