Active Sway Control of a Gantry Crane by an Electrical Ducted Fan
نویسنده
چکیده
Sway reduction is very vital in a nonlinear oscillatory system such as a gantry crane. In this paper, a new design is proposed for active sway control of a gantry crane using an electrical ducted fan. The thrust force developed by the motor is used to cancel out payload oscillation. A dynamic model of the crane with a ducted fan is derived and simulated using Matlab. Performance of the proposed technique is investigated for a crane subjected to initial sway and an external force input. In addition, cases with different payloads and cable lengths are also studied. Simulation results show satisfactory performance of the fan-controlled system in eliminating the payload sway. The proposed design can also handle changes in payload and cable length. A main advantage of this approach is that it does not require modeling of the crane in real time experiments.

Abstract: In this paper, a novel anti-sway control system that uses an inclinometer as a sway sensor is investigated. The inclinometer, when compared with a vision system, is very cheap, durable, and easy to maintain, while providing almost the same performance. A number of observers to estimate the angular velocity of the load and the trolley velocity are presented. A state feedback controller...
