Combining Usability and Performance -What Smart Actuators Can Learn from Automatic Commissioning of Variable Speed Drives (Invited Review)

摘要

The required steps for an automatic commissioning system for variable speed drives are summarized and an overview of existing approaches to the individual steps is provided. Furthermore, new results are presented on automatic design of plant identification experiments and the simultaneous parameterization of all relevant filters in the control loop based on the quality of available measurement signals. This results in a complete toolchain for commissioning speed control loops and allows to get the best possible performance out of the available hardware without requiring expert knowledge. It is discussed which steps will be necessary to establish a similar combination of performance and usability for smart actuators such as e.g. SMA or EAP.
