    Abstract
  • In order to improve the riding comfort and recover the vibration energy, the mechanical characteristics of a prototyped PMSM-ball screw energy-regenerative actuator were tested. The Coulomb damping and equivalent inertial mass of the actuator were identified, and the nonlinear controller for the corresponding energy-regenerative active suspension was designed. With electromagnetic dynamic modeling and electrical parameter calibration, the mechanical characteristic test on the actuator prototype with the triangle-wave and sine-wave displacement inputs was conducted by the experimental method of stepwise variable voltage charging. The Coulomb damping identification and equivalent inertial mass verification were carried out by the parameter fitting to make the modeling simulation curves of mechanical characteristics approximate the measured ones. For the mechanical active suspension model involving the Coulomb damping and equivalent inertial mass of the actuator, the nonlinear term was processed by the feedforward and feedback linearization, and the acceleration terms of the sprung mass or unsprung mass were normalized. On this basis, a dual-constraints-based H2/H∞ controller was developed according to the maximum output force of the actuator. A comprehensive performance comparison among the passive suspension, ideal active suspension, conventional active suspension with H2/H∞ control, and active suspension with dual-constraints-based H2/H∞ control was made through the numerical simulations for verification and energy-regenerative performance analysis. Analysis results show that compared with the passive suspension, the root mean square of sprung mass acceleration and the comprehensive performance index of the active suspension with dual-constraints-based H2/H∞ control reduce by 47.05% and 51.67%, respectively, which are just 1.86% and 1.34% inferior to those of the ideal active suspension, and 19.28% and 11.21% superior to those of the conventional active suspension with H2/H∞ control. The total absorption power of the actuator is consumed by the Coulomb damping and motor stator resistance by 18.99% and 20.19%, respectively. By contrast, the average power reclaimed to batteries is as high as 60.82%. 7 tabs, 11 figs, 35 refs.
