DAVIDSON, N.C., February 25, 2025--Curtiss-Wright awarded contracts from TerraPower for plant simulation and digital control solutions for the Natrium advanced nuclear reactor design.

Once the control design is deployed to an embedded controller, it can be tested at the signal level in a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setup with the electric motor and drive.

Under the contracts, Curtiss-Wright will design and deliver the training simulator (TSN) and distributed control systems (DCS) for the Natrium plant.

Modeling and simulation at the system level greatly increases the probability of achieving an optimized powertrain system. This article offers insight into designing high-efficiency ...

A 4:1 speed range of the motor in the constant power region results in good performance of the system. The paper will report the design of an electric vehicle system using a switched reluctance motor ...

Such delays, particularly in feedback signals, are generally undesirable and should be carefully managed in the system design. Another sophisticated method for estimating velocity in control systems, ...

As EV motors and drives evolve, Tier One suppliers are investing in technology to improve performance and reduce costs. For ...

Any motion design beyond the most basic requires more than simple starting and stopping. In fact, the discontinuities of instant actions are the antithesis of modern control.

Valve-controlled asymmetric cylinder is widely used in servo loading system. As a kind of typical electro-hydraulic servo system (EHSS), it inherently has the characteristics such as high order ...
