Description
Summary:In this thesis, a comprehensive approach for troubleshooting and diagnostics of rotors supported with Active Magnetic Bearings is demonstrated. For this purpose, a SKF MBRotor-II Test Stand supported by an industrial controller and its software package, is modelled and simulated to provide full understanding of the test rig. Finally, various mechanical and controller faults were investigated by using simulation and measured data.
