A Disturbance Compensation Control for an Active Magnetic Bearing System by a Multiple FXLMS Algorithm

In this paper, a design technique is proposed for a disturbance feedforward compensation control to attenuate disturbance responses in an active magnetic bearing system, which is subject to base motion. To eliminate the sensitivity of model accuracy to disturbance responses, the proposed design technique is an experimental feedforward compensator, developed from an adaptive estimation, by means of the Multiple Filtered-x least mean square (MFXLMS) algorithm. The compensation control is applied to a 2-DOF active magnetic bearing system subject to base motion. The feasibility of the proposed technique is illustrated, and the results of an experimental demonstration are shown.
