This paper presents the practical results of the design analysis, commissioning, identification, sensor calibration, and tuning of an active magnetic bearing (AMB) control system for a laboratory gas blower. The presented step-by-step procedures, including modeling and disturbance analysis for different design choices, are necessary to reach the full potential of the prototype in research and industrial applications. The key results include estimation of radial and axial disturbance forces caused by the permanent magnet (PM) rotor and a discussion on differences between the unbalance forces resulting from the PM motor and the induction motor in the AMB rotor system.

This paper introduces an axial-flux self-bearing motor (ASBM) using two permanent magnet attractive type passive magnetic bearings (PMBs). The ASBM provides both functions of a disc motor and thrust magnetic bearing, and controls motor torque and axial force by single rotational magnetic flux. The PMB consists of a cylindrical permanent magnet and an iron shaft with conical edge, and it supports the rotor in radial directions. This motor has a simple structure and control system, and it is possible to reduce the size and cost. In this paper, the structure and control method are introduced, and the results of levitation and rotation tests whose non-contact rotation speed was achieved up to 1,500 rpm are shown.

Ferromagnetic Ring

The active magnetic bearing is based on the use of forces created by a magnetic field to levitate the rotor without mechanical contact between the stationary and moving parts. A ferromagnetic ring fixed on the rotor “floats” in the magnetic fields generated by the electromagnets, which are mounted as two sets of opposing pairs. The current is transmitted to the electromagnetic coils through amplifiers. The four electromagnets control the rotor’s position in response to the signals transmitted from the sensors. The rotor is maintained in equilibrium under the control of the electromagnetic forces. Its position is determined by means of sensors which continuously monitor any displacements through an electronic control system. As in every control system, damping of the loop is provided by means of a phase advance command from one or more differenciating circuits of the position error signal. The capability of modifying the electromagnetic force both in terms of amplitude and phase leads to the benefit of specific properties for the application, in particular: - automatic balancing characterized by the rotation of the moving part around its main axis of inertia, and not around the axis of the bearings allowing operation without vibrations, - adjustable damping of the suspension allowing easy passing of the critical speeds of the rotor, - high and adjustable stiffness yielding maximum accuracy of rotor equilibrium position, - permanent diagnosis of machine operation due to the knowledge of all rotation characteristics (speed, loads on the bearings, position of the rotation axis, eccentricity, out-of-balance, disturbance frequency).

And Control

Auxiliary bearings are used to prevent rotor/stator contact in active magnetic bearing systems. They are sacrificial components providing a physical limit on the rotor displacement. During rotor/auxiliary bearing contact significant forces normal to the contact zone may occur. Furthermore, rotor slip and rub can lead to localized frictional heating. Linear control strategies may also become ineffective or induce instability due to changes in rotordynamic characteristics during contact periods. This work considers the concept of using actively controlled auxiliary bearings in magnetic bearing systems. Auxiliary bearing controller design is focused on attenuating bearing vibration resulting from contact and reducing the contact forces. Controller optimization is based on the H∞ norm with appropriate weighting functions applied to the error and control signals. The controller is assessed using a simulated rotor/magnetic bearing system. Comparison of the performance of an actively controlled auxiliary bearing is made with that of a resiliently mounted auxiliary bearing. Rotor drop tests, repeated contact tests, and sudden rotor unbalance resulting in trapped contact modes, are considered.

This paper represents control strategy of anisotropic permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) in the field-weakening region. Field weakening controller allows to increase maximum achievable speed with output torque reduction. Proposed control system consists of four general modes: MTPA (maximum torque per ampere), MC (maximum current), FW (field weakening), and MTPV (maximum torque per voltage) which must be chosen accordingly to motor speed, current and torque references. Operation point is found as an intersection of torque hyperbola and voltage ellipse curves in d-q motor’s current reference frame involving motor parameters’ limits. However, due to nonlinear dependence between torque and voltage equations, it is quite complicated to obtain both right control mode selection and reference output calculation. In order to solve this problem, a unified control algorithm adopted for wide speed and torque reference with online constraints calculation is proposed. Matlab/Simulink control model of PMSM motor and control system were designed in order to show developed strategy performance. Simulation results shows increasing of speed limit by more than 2.5 times related to nominal speed with high controller’s response. However, speed limit increasing leads to a decrease in motor’s output torque. Due to this fact, presented control strategy is not suitable for applications where nominal torque level is essential for all speed operation points.
