Abstract—The design and implementation of the hybrid control method for a three-pole active magnetic bearing (AMB) is proposed in this paper. The system is inherently nonlinear and conventional nonlinear controllers are a little complicated, while the proposed hybrid controller has a piecewise linear form, i.e. linear in each subregion. A state-feedback hybrid controller is designed in this stu...

Advanced energy storage systems for electric guns and other pulsed weapons on combat vehicles present significant challenges for rotor bearing design. Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) present one emerging bearing option with major advantages in terms of lifetime and rotational speed, and also favorably integrate into high-speed flywheel systems. The Department of Defense Combat Hybrid Power Syst...

This chapter deals with the vibration attenuation or vibration suppression by means of feedback control techniques applied to decrease the dynamic response of a rotor assumed as active magnetic dynamic damping which is common in rotating machinery supported by active magnetic bearings. Position control systems applied on active magnetic bearings are using sometimes nonlinear robust control tech...

It also has an impact on whole reactor system. Compared with traditional bearing, a novel proposed by a...

The 10MW high temperature gas-cooled test modular reactor coupled with direct gas-turbine cycle (HTR-10GT) is designed by the Institute of Nuclear Energy Technology (INET) of Tsinghua University in China, in order to experimentally validate the possibility of creating high performance plants with direct closed gas-turbine cycle and the technology for future commercial applications. The vertical...

Due to the rising energy (and electricity) cost it is essential that an active magnetic bearing (AMB) system is operated as efficiently as possible. Frequency switching caused by an external source can cause an AMB system to operate at a higher than expected energy level and lower than expected efficiency. The purpose of this paper is therefore to investigate the impact of frequency switching (...

In recent years a number of rotary machines with Active Magnetic Bearings have been designed in order to eliminate the lubricant medium, vibration and noise, and to achieve high velocities and loads. These systems are complicated due to the construction of mechanical, electrical and electronic circuits. A wide range analysis is required during the design procedure – from the construction stage ...

In this paper the development of mathematical model of voltage-input and current-input active magnetic bearing (AMB) system in deterministic form is presented. The AMB system, which is open-loop unstable and highly coupled due to nonlinearities inherited in the system such as gyroscopic effect and mass imbalance, requires a dynamic controller that can stabilize the system. In order to synthesiz...
