  1. 6. Centralised MPC for Long-term Voltage Stability Control of Power System

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Johan Hallberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Voltage stability; Model predictive control; Tap-changing transformer; Capacitor bank; Spänningsstabilitet; Model prediktiv reglering; Lindningskopplare; Kondensatorbank;

    Abstract : In a power system it is important to keep voltages at specific levels at network buses. Deviations from that can lead to reduced efficiency of transferred power or, in more severe cases, widespread power outages affecting large parts of society. There exists a variety of power system devices that have the ability to regulate the voltage levels. READ MORE

  3. 7. 3D Printing Hydrogel Artificial Muscles and Microrobotics

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Malin Alterby; Emily Johnson; Anton Jonason; Denize Svensson; [2023]
    Keywords : 3D printing; MXene; CNT; CNF; hydrogel; actuator;

    Abstract : The purpose of this lab was to investigate the printability of cellulose nanofiber/carbon nanotubes, their functions as actuators, and to compare these properties with MXene/nano cellulose gels. Data on MXene/nano cellulose gel was obtained from previous research made by Hamedi labs. READ MORE

  4. 8. Real time control of an active pendulum arm suspension system for a downscaled XT28 forwarder model

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Niclas Määttä; Adam Westermark; [2023]
    Keywords : mechatronics; offset-free MPC; MPC; LQR; XT28; forwarder; pendulum arm; forestry; mekatronik; offset-free MPC; MPC; LQR; XT28; skotare; pendelarm; skogsbruk;

    Abstract : A forwarder named XT28 has been developed in joint collaboration between eXtractor AB, Skogforsk AB, KTH, Linköpings Unversity, Sveaskog, and Bosch Rexroth. The forwarder is equipped with six hydraulic active suspension pendulum arms. READ MORE

  5. 9. Evaluation of electric actuation for fighter aircraft

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fluida och mekatroniska system

    Author : Dennis Moliner Pettersson; Anton Nygårds; [2023]
    Keywords : EMA; actuator; actuation; MEA; aircraft; PMSM; SHA;

    Abstract : The tendency of recent years towards electrification of aircraft components and subsys-tems has opened the door for a wider usability of electro-mechanical actuators (EMAs) inthat context. EMAs are already in use in aircraft industries but mainly in civil aviation forsecondary control systems and non-critical applications. READ MORE

  6. 10. Dynamic Modelling of a Fluidic Muscle with a Comparison of Hysteresis Approaches

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Tess Antonsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Mechatronics; Soft Actuators; Pneumatic Artificial Muscles; Dynamic Modelling; Hysteresis; Maxwell-Slip Model; Generalised Bouc-Wen Model; Mekatronik; Mjuka Ställdon; Pneumatiska Artificiella Muskler; Dynamisk Modellering; Hysteres; Maxwell-Slip Modell; Generaliserad Bouc-Wen Modell;

    Abstract : n recent years, there has been a surge in interest and research into the utilisation of soft actuators within the field of robotics, driven by the novel capabilities of their inherently compliant material. One such actuator is the Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAM) which offers a high power-to-mass ratio, compliance, safety, and biological mimicry when compared to their traditional counterparts.
