A quasi-static modeling approach of electromechanical actuators

This paper presents a suggested modeling approach of an electromechanical actuator, where the performance of involved semiconductor devices and tentative motors as PM, transversal, torus, and switched reluctance electrical machines are condensed into look-up tables. Current and voltages are then described in form of quasi-static RMS values quantities, and the actuator mechanical outputs in momentary forces and velocities. The proposed modeling approach is considered to be one ingredient in future build-up of models of entire MEA aircrafts. (C) 2004 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
