Passivity-Based Control Design for Magnetic Levitation System

Abstract

The passivity-based control (PBC) is a new direction of nonlinear control, but the method is basically a qualitative method. A quantifiable design method in combination with PBC is provided in this paper. To solve the partial differential equation (PDE) for PBC, the nonlinear system must first be transformed into a Hamiltonian model. The PDE for the Hamiltonian system is then quantifiably solved with an electromagnetic levitation example. The resulting control law is presented and discussed. The proposed method provides a practical design tool for nonlinear control.

Numerical Analysis of a New Block‐Type Rail Bearing Beam for the Mid‐Low‐Speed Maglev Train

“…However, as the maglev technology evolves, the lowspeed performance gradually attracts more and more attention [4]. Medium-low-speed maglev not only inherits the advantage of the safety of maglev technology but also has the benefits of the simple structure and low cost compared with high-speed maglev [5], which makes it more attractive to urban and suburban public transportation. Currently, there are two medium-low-speed maglev lines in operation in China: one is the Changsha Maglev line [6] and another is the Beijing S1 line [7], and Qingyuan Maglev special line is under construction [8].…”

Tracking Control of Magnetic Levitation System Using Model-Free RBF Neural Network Design

“…Since the Lagrange equation is used in the modeling process, the following will briefly introduce the Lagrange equation. For an energy dissipative system with degree of freedom n, the Lagrange equation with dissipation function is [30]…”

Semi-Active Magnetic Levitation System for Education

“…The regulated current then produces a corresponding electromagnet force that keeps the object levitating at the desired position. As largely documented in the literature, controlling the object's position is difficult, mainly because the MagLev shows a nonlinear, unstable behavior (e.g., [11][12][13]).…”
