In the shipping industry, high-speed technology is primarily employed in turbocharger technology, while its application for other functions, such as on-board electricity generation, remains limited. One of the limiting factors is the lack of suitable robust high-speed technology for use in such challenging environments. The possible game changer is magnetic bearing suspended technology. The BEAR-IN-MIND project aims to establish a modeling framework capable of assessing and analyzing the dynamics of magnetically suspended on-board rotor systems coupled with the dynamics of base excitations and a moving platform. This framework will serve as a basis to understand and develop controllers for magnetically levitated rotor systems, addressing challenges in providing sufficient (active) damping and dynamic force pro production for AMB suspended rotor systems, especially in marine applications.
