Significant temperature rise will degrade the stability of the active magnetic bearing (AMB) rotor system, which is an obstacle to the industrial implementation of magnetically suspended centrifugal compressors with high power density. Aiming to ensure stable operation of the suspended rotor at high temperatures, this article presents a stiffness compensation method based on online parameter identification. First, the linearized model at the operating point is derived through the establishment of a magnetic circuit model. The analysis of the temperature factor of bearing stiffness parameters is conducted. Then, the forgetting factor recursive least squares online identification algorithm is employed to obtain the coil resistance affected by bearing temperature in real time. Finally, a stiffness compensation control scheme is designed based on the identification results and current rotor displacement, in combination with series and feedback compensation to apply the same electromagnetic force to the rotor during temperature rise. Simulation and experimental results validate that the proposed method can effectively suppress the low-frequency fluctuation and guarantee the stability of the AMB rotor system.
