Abstract: A torsional mode damping controller in which the controller modifies electrical power to an electrical motor to provide active damping control of torsional vibration in rotating masses. The controller receives a measurement of a rotational speed of the rotating masses ωm and an estimate or a measurement of a torque transmitted between the rotating masses Tsh; based on the received transmitted torque Tsh, generate a compensating torque to suppress vibration Tcom; based on the received rotational speed ωm and the compensating torque Tcom, generate an electromagnetic torque modification signal Tmodi; and modify the electrical power provided to the electrical motor on the basis of the electromagnetic torque modification signal Tmodi. The controller is further configured to generate compensating torque Tcom by applying a filter to the received transmitted torque Tsh, based on plural tunable parameters including a tuning gain K, a cut-off frequency ωn and a resonant damping ratio ζ.

Abstract: An electrical system including a three phase AC input supply and three or more H-bridge converter cells. Each H-bridge converter cell has: an active front end rectifier for receiving the three phase AC input supply and transforming it into a DC supply, thereby providing a rectifier current ii; a capacitor suitable to receive a capacitor current iC, the capacitor smoothing the DC supply; and an inverter suitable to receive an inverter current io, wherein io=ii−iC, said inverter transforming the received inverter current io into a single phase AC supply. The system also including a control subsystem, which provides a signal to each active front end rectifier to vary its respective rectifier current ii such that the difference between the rectifier current ii, provided by the active front end rectifier, and the inverter current io, received by the inverter, is substantially zero.
