Self–Sensing Magnetic Bearings Using Parameter Estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
A signal processing technique is presented by which the position of a rotor supported in magnetic bearings may be deduced from the bearing current waveform. The bearing currents are presumed to be developed with a two state switching amplifier which produces a substantial high frequency switching ripple. This ripple is demodulated using a model reference parameter estimation technique which extracts the length of the bearing air gap while rejecting the influence of amplifier voltage and duty cycle variation. The performance of the estimator is evaluated both by simulation and experiment. The method is demonstrated to produce a fairly wide bandwidth sensor with acceptably low feed–through of the bearing force.

Self–Sensing Magnetic Bearings Driven by a Switching Power Amplifier
Active magnetic bearings require some form of control, based on feedback of the position of the suspended object, to overcome open–loop instability and to achieve targeted system performance by modifying the bearing dynamics. In many applications of magnetic bearings, a need to eliminate discrete position sensors may arise either from economic or reliability considerations. Magnetic bearings wh...

In this paper a fast method for large-scale sparse inversion of magnetic data is considered. The L1-norm stabilizer is used to generate models with sharp and distinct interfaces. To deal with the non-linearity introduced by the L1-norm, a model-space iteratively reweighted least squares algorithm is used. The original model matrix is factorized using the Golub-Kahan bidiagonalization that proje...

This article presents methods for estimating lateral vehicle velocity and tire cornering stiffness, which are key parameters in vehicle dynamics control, using lateral tire force measurements. Lateral tire forces acting on each tire are directly measured by load-sensing hub bearings that were invented and further developed by NSK Ltd. For estimating the lateral vehicle velocity, tire force mode...
متن کاملRobustness of Self-Sensing Magnetic Bearing
Self-sensing magnetic bearings work without position sensors. The position measurement, which is required by the controller, can be deduced from the electromagnetic interaction between stator and rotor. The self-sensing method discussed in this paper is based on controlling the voltage over the coils and measuring the current through the coils. This method can be realized with a minimal amount ...
