H∞-control algorithm for dynamic damping of torsional vibrations in mechatronical drive systems

For numerous technical processes, high load peaks result from the stochastic workflow. Those load peaks propagate in the power train of the electro mechanical drive system to the feeding power grid and at the same time stimulate torsion oscillations. For smoothing the load peaks as well as damping the torque oscillations a novel torque control was designed. The new torque control is based on the H∞-Control and was compared to standard control methods such as PID control.
