Abstract :
A commissioning and laboratory tests of an active magnetic bearing supported PM 3kW blower are presented. The motor operation is evaluated in no-load and load tests. An identification of AMB-rotor system, testing of H∞ centralized control and mass-flow of the blower for recirculation of anode gas in a SOFC are discussed. The key results include comparison between analytical and measured values of an output sensitivity function of different MIMO controllers, measured efficiency and output motor power, and blower measurements.
