Design of a Controller for Magnetic Levitation

  • Conference paper
Magnetic Bearings

Summary

In this work we will apply a linear quadratic regulator for the controller of the magnetic levitation of a rigid body. A successfull implementation with a diferentiator to estimate the velocity is showed, using a linear and not noisy displacement sensor. Another implementation with a pragmatic control policy that worked well with a noisy and strongly nonlinear sensor is presented.
