Wave-based Modeling and Control of Interconnected Synchronous Machines-Application on Mechanical Model

:The motivation for this work is the control of flexible mechanical systems, specifically their position control without residual vibrations. The actuators are attempting to position the “important point” at the far end of the flexible system through wave based control to eliminate the vibrations at the end of the motion. The synchronous electric generator is modelled as flexible mechanical system. The wave-based control method is presented. The paper shows how to compute and use the “launch” and “reflected” waves for control. If appropriate strategy is used, the flexible system will be displaced to the required position with no residual vibrations. If the superposition principle is valid, various motions can be controlled simultaneously. The state feedback control is shown for comparison.
