The dynamic characteristics of an ell-lubricated, short squeeze film damper (SFD) with a central feeding groove are derived based on a theoretical analysis considering the effect of a groove, and identified experimentally using an Active Magnetic Bearing (AMB) system as an exciter. In order to get the theoretical solution, the fluid film forces of the grooved SFD are analytically derived so that the dynamic coefficients of the SFD can be expressed in terms of its design parameters. For the experimental validation of the analysis, a test rig using an AMB as an exciter is proposed. As an exciter. the AMB represents a mechatronic device to levitate and position the test Journal without any mechanical contact, to generate relative motions of the Journal inside the tested SFD and to measure the generated displacements during experiments with fairly high accuracy. Using this test rig, experiments are extensively conducted with various values of clearance, which Is one of the most important design parameters. in order to investigate its effect on the dynamic characteristics and the performance of the SFD. Damping and Inertia coefficients of the SFD that are experimentally Identified are compared with the analytical results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the applied analysis. It Is also shown that the AMB is an ideal device for tests of SFDs.

The updating of FE model to match it with the experimental results needs the modal information. There are two cases where this methodology is ill-equip to deal with； under-determined and ill-conditioning problem. The feedback exciter that uses the summation of the white noise and the signals from the measurement sensors multiplied with feedback gains can deal with these problems as the new modal data from the closed loop system generate more constraints the updating parameters should obey. The new modal data from the closed loop system should be different to enhance the condition of the modal sensitivity matrix. In this research, a guide for the selection of the sensor locations and the decision of the corresponding output feedback gains is proposed. This method is based on the sensitivity of the modal data with respect to the feedback gains. Through the proper selection of the exciter and sensor locations and the feedback gain, the eigenvalue sensitivity of the updating parameters which cause the ill-conditioning of the modal sensitivity matrix can be modified and consequently the error contamination in updating parameters are reduced.

This paper researches a modeling and experiment of 50kW diesel generator in grid-connected mode. The output of diesel generator can be calculated by the phase difference between voltage and current as well as the diesel generator parameter such as mutual impedance, field current and rotor angle. Considering the different d-q frame impedance, the output of diesel generator is analyzed for equation and verified by simulation. The diesel generator modeled by considering the time delay for actuator, diesel engine and exciter. The controller of diesel generator is divided into governor and exciter. The governor consists of speed controller and active power controller, where speed controller maintains frequency as 60Hz and active power tracks active power reference. On the other hand, the exciter consists of voltage controller and reactive power controller, where voltage controller controls $380V_{LL}$ and reactive power is controlled as zero. When the active power reference is changed as 0.1pu in the grid connected mode, the active power takes 10 seconds to reach the steady state and the reactive power is maintains as zero. The 50kW diesel generator is tested and experiment results are well matched with the simulation results.

As a critical member of cable-stayed bridges, stay cables play on important role of supporting the entire structure. Traffic, wind or rain-wind induced vibrations of stay cables would be a major cause of degrading both safety and serviceability of the bridge. One of the effective alternatives to solve this problem is to employ the cable dampers. In order to design the cable damper optimally, it is necessary to exactly estimate the dynamic characteristics of the existing cables. To achieve more reliable dynamic properties of stay cables, precise excitations inducing forced vibration are needed. Therefore, in this study, a cable excitation system(exciter) controlled digitally was developed. And to evaluate the performance of the cable exciter developed, a solution of the differential equation of cable motion considering the exciter was derived, Using the cable exciter, sine sweeping and resonance tests on a cable model were carried out to obtain the dynamic characteristics effectively.

The exciter of a ship generator adjusts the magnetic flux through excitation current control to maintain the output terminal voltage constant. The voltage controller inside the exciter typically uses a proportional integral control method. however, the response characteristics determined by the gain and time constant produce unwanted output owing to an inappropriate setting value that can reduce the quality and stability of power within the ship. In this study, a neural network circuit is learned using stable input/output data that can be obtained through the AC4A type exciter model provided by IEEE, and the simulation is performed by replacing the existing proportional integral control type voltage controller with the learned neural network circuit controller. Consequently, overshooting was improved by up to 9.63% compared with that of the previous model, and excellence in stable response characteristics was confirmed.

Passivity theory is significantly applied to analyze stability of nonlinear dynamic systems and construct its stable control systems. This paper presents a passivity based control design approach for exciters and governors which are employed to regulate the terminal voltage and the rotor velocity of synchronous generator systems in industry fields. We consider the IEEE type 1 exciter and the gas turbine (GT) governor models respectively in this paper. We first carry out a passivity analysis for exciter and governor control systems, which are numerically obtained from its mathematical models. And then its control parameters are selected to assure passivity conditions in a design procedure. Lastly, we investigate numerical simulations to demonstrate reliability of the proposed control approach against large-scale generators with parameter changes.

This paper proposes a performance improvement of synchronous generator using exciter control with field coils parameter estimation technique. In general, the generator excitation system controller uses the PID controller. When the Field winding impedance changed, the PID gains must be changed. General method is difficult to apply varying capacity of the synchronous generator. The proposed control method determine automatically measure the internal impedance of the synchronous generator's exciter and configure the controller. This method can be applied regardless of the generator capacity. So it is possible to apply a variety of synchronous generator systems. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulations and experiments.

When the spindle is rotated for machining the workpiece, the vibration is generated due to the spindle unbalance. This vibration affects surface finish, dimensional accuracy, tool life, and spindle bearings. To compensate this effect of the spindle unbalance, the spindle system using an EME(electro magnetic exciter)is proposed in this paper. In the proposed spindle system, the vibration due to the spindle unbalance is monitored using vibration sensors and is compensated by electromagnetic attractive forces generated in the EME which are excited by anti-direction forces corresponded with the measured unbalance. Firstly, the spindle system using an EME and control system are constructed to compensate the effect of spindle unbalance in this paper. And then the system is modeled by bond graph to analyze the system. Finally, a controller for vibration compensation due to spindle unbalance is designed and is implemented in real experimental system. As a result, experimental results show this proposed spindle system is very effective to compensate the spindle unbalance.
