Regenerative Skyhook Control for an Electromechanical Suspension System Using a Switch-Mode Rectifier.

This paper proposes a mechatronic suspension system with capabilities of energy regeneration and semi-active control [i.e., skyhook (SK)], incorporated into the mechanism. The system overcomes the trade-off between energy consumption and ride handling/comfort in a semi-active/active suspension system. Central to the concept is the development of a switched-mode rectifier (SMR) capable of providing...
