(2015)
Concentrated solar power (CSP) is an efficient means of renewable energy that makes use of solar radiation to produce electricity instead of making use of conventional fossil fuel techniques such as burning coal. The aim ...
Robustness estimation of self-sensing active magnetic bearings via system identification
(North-West University, 2009)
Due to their frictionless operation active magnetic bearings (AMBs) are essential components in high-speed rotating machinery. Active magnetic control of a high speed rotating rotor requires precise knowledge of its position. ...
