The design and initial testing of a five axis magnetic bearing system in an energy storage flywheel is presented. The flywheel is under development at the University of Texas Center for Electromechanics (UT-CEM) for application in a transit bus. The bearing system for the prototype features homopolar permanent magnet bias magnetic bearings. The system has been successfully tested to the maximum design speed of 42,000 rpm. A gain-scheduled, MIMO control algorithm was required to control the system modes affected by rotor gyroscopics. The implementation and basis for this control scheme is discussed. The cross-axis forces produced by this approach are described in terms of circumferential cross-coupled stiffness and damping to explain the effect on system stability. Dynamic test results are discussed relative to the rotordynamic and control system design.

Abstract This paper considers development of a new design procedure for PI and Gain scheduled robust controller with PSS for turbogenerator using LMI regional regions. The obtained PI+PSS and GSC+PSS robust controllers with output and state derivative feedback for uncertain polytopic turbogenerator model ensure that all closed -loop eigenvalues lay in the prescribed LMI region. The proposed method is to guarantee the less conservativeness with respect to previous methods due to introducing a design procedure based on new auxiliary matrices. The effectiveness of this procedure is illustrated by the examples of two controllers for turbogenerator.
