Main Factor

Imbalance vibration control for rotor is the main factor affecting attitude control performance for satellite using magnetically suspended control moment gyro (MSCMG). The method for adaptive imbalance vibration control for the rotor of variable-speed MSCMG with active-passive magnetic bearings is investigated in this paper. Firstly, on the basis of feedforward compensation, a rotor model for the imbalance vibration of variable-speed MSCMG with active-passive magnetic bearings is built, and the main factor affecting imbalance vibration compensation is also analyzed. Then, power amplifier parameter modifier with control switches is designed to eliminate the effects of time-varying parameters on the imbalance vibration compensation precision. The adaptive imbalance vibration control based on this modifier not only has high compensation precision, but also can control the frequency of parameter adjustment according to the compensation precision. Besides, since the passive magnetic bearing displacement stiffness of the rotor of variable-speed MSCMG with active-passive magnetic bearings cannot be obtained accurately, displacement stiffness modifier is employed. Finally, stability analysis is made on the imbalance vibration control system, and the range of rotation speed to ensure system stability is derived. Simulation results show that, imbalance vibration control method proposed in this paper can suppress the imbalance vibration of the rotor of variable-speed MSCMG with active-passive magnetic bearings effectively and has high precision.

This paper presents the theory and numerical results of utilizing four gimbaled, magnetically suspended, variable speed flywheels for simultaneous satellite attitude control and power transfer (charge, storage, and delivery). Previous variable speed control moment gyro models and control algorithms assumed that the flywheel bearings were rigid. However, high speed flywheels on spacecraft will be supported by active magnetic bearings, which have flexibility and in general frequency dependent characteristics. The present work provides the theory for modeling the satellite and flywheel systems including controllers for stable magnetic bearing suspension for power transfer to and from the flywheels and for attitude control of the satellite. A major reason for utilizing flexible bearings is to isolate the imbalance disturbance forces from the flywheel to the satellite. This g-jitter vibration could interfere with the operation of sensitive onboard instrumentation. A special control approach is employed for the magnetic bearings to reject the imbalance disturbances. The stability, robustness, tracking, and disturbance rejection performances of the feedback control laws are demonstrated with a satellite simulation that includes initial attitude error, system modeling error, and flywheel imbalance disturbance.

AbstractIn the last years, Control Moment Gyros (CMGs) are widely used for high-speed attitude control, since they are able to generate larger torque compared to “classical” actuation systems, such as Reaction Wheels . This paper describes the attitude control problem of a spacecraft, using a Model Predictive Control method. The features of the considered linear MPC are: (i) a virtual reference, to guarantee input constraints satisfaction, and (ii) an integrator state as a servo compensator, to reduce the steady-state error. Moreover, the real-time implementability is investigated using an experimental testbed with four CMGs in pyramidal configuration, where the capability of attitude control and the optimization solver for embedded systems are focused on. The effectiveness and the performance of the control system are shown in both simulations and experiments.

This paper recalls the principles and main features of the active magnetic bearings and especially the advantages for turbomachines. Oil-free working and vibration control are part of them. Field experiences are described for different shaft line configurations. Step by step we are going to get totally rid of oil with the introduction of active magnetic bearings together with dry gas seals and gearless drive. Future machines will take the benefit of all this field experience. The trend of the design optimization is the active magnetic bearings in the process gas itself, for a length reduction of shafts. But at the present stage, the active magnetic bearing is a proven technology today.

Double-gimbal magnetically suspended CMG is a novel attitude control actuator for the agile maneuver spacecraft. Taking the double-gimbal magnetically suspended control moment gyro used on agile maneuver spacecraft as the research object, the dynamic model of the magnetically suspended rotor, the inner gimbal, and the outer gimbal of double-gimbal magnetically suspended control moment gyro is built. The nonlinear coupling characteristic between the rotor, the gimbal, and the spacecraft is given. It can be seen that the motion of magnetically suspended rotor does not only rely on magnetic bearing force but also suffer from the influence of gimbal servo system and spacecraft motion. The coupling torque includes the gyro coupling torque and the inertial coupling torque. The work in this paper provides the foundation for further studies.

To satisfy the requirements for small satellites that seek agile slewing with peak power, this paper investigates integrated power and attitude control using variable-speed control moment gyros (VSCMGs) that consider the mass and inertia of gimbals and wheels. The paper also details the process for developing the controller by considering various environments in which the controller may be implemented. A fuzzy adaptive disturbance observer (FADO) is proposed to estimate and compensate for the effects of equivalent disturbances. The algorithms can simultaneously track attitude and power. The simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the control approach, which exhibits an improvement of 80 percent compared with alternate approaches that do not employ a FADO.
