Abstract

A system and method for controlling an active magnetic bearing assembly by varying the system control laws in a continuous non-linear fashion as a function of rotor rotational speed. The system control law variation is carried out in a continuous and optimal manner over the operating speed range of the rotor, and is not computationally intensive.
