Model of Energetic Efficient Redundant Actuation

Abstract

The model of linear drive with redundant actuation and control system is designed to compare the energy efficiency of the different actuation type. The redundant actuation control system is optimized to increase the energy efficiency of the entire drive. Calculation with this model compares consumed electricity for each drive topology. The results can be used in the design of energy-efficient production machinery and equipment, which is the area of interest of so-called Ecodesign.
