Optimal Control for the Rotor System of a Magnetic Levitation Flywheel Energy Storage
摘要
This work proposes a multiobjective optimal control strategy for the suspension management of an active magnetic bearing (AMB)-supported flywheel rotor in energy storage systems. By reducing the rotor system to a planar model, analytical solutions for maximum amplitude, equivalent stiffness/damping, and sensitivity function were derived. An optimization model balancing robustness and vibration suppression was developed, with constraints including stability, natural stiffness/damping, air gap, and sensitivity bounds. Using multidimensional visualization, optimal PID parameter domains were identified. Simulations and experiments validated the strategy, achieving stable levitation within 0–15,000 r/min with minimal vibration and high robustness.
