Abstract:
A method for dynamically balancing a rotating system based on a plurality of simultaneous and discrete control actions that place mass at predetermined locations within said rotating system, said method comprising the steps of:providing a mass for placement at predetermined locations within said rotating system; converting said mass into at least one set of discrete control actuator actions; simultaneously activating a plurality of control actuators to deploy said at least one set of discrete control actuator actions in order to place mass at said predetermined locations within said rotating system; and applying said at least one set of discrete control actuator actions to said plurality of control actuators in order to place said mass at said predetermined locations within said rotating system to mimic a continuous application of said mass and smoothly place said rotating system in a balanced state and thereby mechanize said simultaneous control actuations within said rotating system.
