... frequency, related to the equilibrium pressures in the actuator. Following from an analysis of the conservative energy storage elements in the system, a control methodology is derived to sustain a specified frequency of oscillation in the presence of energy dissipation. The basic control strategy...

...Rainer Leuschke; Brian C. Fabien This paper presents a technique for attenuating the external disturbances acting on the rotor of a prototype flywheel energy storage device. The approach uses a three-phase axial flux brushless dc motor to simultaneously produce a torque and a radial force...

... of the direction of power flow in the actuator. The absorbed power is simply dissipated in the actuator or power supply. An actuator concept is developed here in which energy storage elements become part of the actuator, and absorbed power is recovered while still performing a high level of motion control...
