Abstract

This article introduces a novel regenerative suspension system designed for active seat suspension, to reduce vibrations while recovering energy. The system employs a four-quadrant electric actuator operation model and utilizes a brushless DC motor as an actuator and an energy harvester. This motor, a permanent magnet synchronous type, transforms DC into three-phase AC power, serving dual purposes of vibration energy recovery and active power generation. The system’s advanced vibration control is achieved through the switching of MOSFET transistors, ensuring the suspension system meets operational criteria that contrast with traditional vibro-isolation systems, thereby reducing the negative effects of mechanical vibrations on the human body, while also lowering energy consumption. Comparative studies of the regenerative system dynamics against passive and active systems under random vibrations demonstrated its effectiveness. This research assessed the system’s performance through power spectral density and transmissibility functions, highlighting its potential to enhance energy efficiency and the psychophysical well-being of individuals subjected to mechanical vibrations. The effectiveness of the energy regeneration process under the chosen early excitation vibrations was investigated. Measurements of the motor torque in the active mode and during regenerative braking mode, and the corresponding phase currents of the motor, are presented.
