Comparison of Active Control Algorithms for Rotor Unbalance Compensation

This paper shows a short introduction to three unbalance compensation algorithms and an experimental comparison of those algorithms. The algorithms have been tested experimentally on a laboratory-scale test rig equipped with an electromagnetic actuator. So called Convergent Control algorithm has been found the most suitable for the current purpose in terms of performance and simplicity. The algorithms are subjected further tests on rotor unbalance compensation in an electrical machine. This paper shows some initial considerations for those further tests.Copyright © 2007 by ASME
