H∞ Robust Controller Design and Experimental Analysis of Active Magnetic Bearings with Flexible Rotor System

H∞ controller for active magnetic bearings (AMBs) with flexible rotor system was designed in this paper. The motion equations of AMBs and flexible rotor system are built based on finite element methods (FEM). Weighting function matrices of H∞ controller for AMBs are studied for both the sensitivity and the complementary sensitivity of H∞ control theory. The simulation shows that the H∞ control ...

Control of flexible rotor systems with active magnetic bearings

An approach is presented for the analysis and design of magnetic suspension systems with large flexible rotordynamics models including dynamics, control, and simulation. The objective is to formulate and synthesize a large-order, flexible shaft rotordynamics model for a flywheel supported with magnetic bearings. A finite element model of the rotor system is assembled and then employed to develo...

On line identification of unbalance parameters and active control in a rotor bearing system

In this paper an algebraic technique for unbalance parameters identification along with an active control scheme for a rotor bearing system are presented. The system has two disks asymmetrically located along the shaft which is supported by a conventional ball bearing at one end and by an active suspension at the other one. The active suspension is based on linear springs and linear force actua...

Rotor compliance minimization via μ-control of active magnetic bearings

Many important problems in the control of rotating machinery with active magnetic bearings (AMBs) concern the minimization of the dynamic compliance of the rotor at a single or several shaft locations which typically do not correspond to those of a sensor or actuator. Experimental results are presented which demonstrate that controller design problems of this type can be successfully handled vi...
