Type Synthesis of Torsional Mass Dampers as Anti-Galloping Devices by Using Planar Four-Bar Mechanisms

Abstract:

The type synthesis of torsional mass dampers (TMDs for short) as anti-galloping devices is very import for the safe operation of power grid. In this paper, the TMDs are considered as passive robotic manipulators, with the aim of introducing planar four-bar mechanisms into the synthesis of TMDs. By utilizing one planar four-bar mechanism or two planar four-bar mechanisms in a single TMDs, 6 TMDs with symmetrical structures and 18 TMDs with non-symmetrical structures are synthesized, which may improve the reasonable applications of the TMDs for the solving the anti-galloping issue of power grid.
