Title:Nonlinear Control of an Electro-Magnetic Actuator under Highly Dynamic DisturbancesAuthor(s):Thomas Schwarzgruber, Hannes Trogmann, Thomas Ernst Passenbrunner, Sebastian Fizek, Peter DolovaiAbstract:This paper presents a control concept for Electro-Magnetic Actuators (EMA) under the effect of strong and dynamic disturbances. The proposed control consists of two components, a backstepping control which exploits the knowledge of the plant and of a disturbance observer. Experiments at a test stand show that the presented approach is able to fulfill very high dynamic requirements and to reject disturbances with a higher dynamics than the actuator under realistic conditions.Booktitle:Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE Multiconference on System and ControlPage Reference:6 page(s)Publishing:10/2012
