CRY payload actuator upgrade in 2020

Kick-off meeting
2020/5/27 10:30 - 12:00 Zoom: KAGRA Zoom2
Minutes
- The main work of this project is to create a simulation model of the suspension including the control loops, then optimize the control topology.
- We also identified additional tasks related to this project
Simulation of the Type-A suspension to find optimum control strategy
- We will create a model (SUMCON + Simulink) to simulate the current Type-A suspension, called the baseline model.
- Using the baseline model, we will try to reproduce the current suspension behavior:
- Close the local damping loops with the current control topology and filteres
- Inject known noises, such as sensor noise, actuator noise, seismic noise, green laser noise.
- Check the actuator loads (saturated or not) and find out what is limiting the current performance.
- After validating the baseline model, update it to the modified actuators and sensors
- Optimize the control topology and filters to find a configuration which allows us to control the suspension without saturating the actuators and not injecting excess noise to DARM
Additional tasks
Largest magnet possible ?
- It is relatively easy to modify the coil drivers, but not easy to change magnets in the vacuum.
- Therefore, it may be better to install magnets as large as possible into the suspensions
- We need to identify what is the limit, and is there any drawback from this.
- Will start email discussion on this.
Actuator efficiency of the currently installed actuators
- Measure the in-situ actuation efficiency and compare it with the theoretical predictions or ex-situ measurements using scales
- We can probably take the measurements by CAL of the actuation efficiency, which is in the unit of m/V, then convert it into N/A using the suspension mechanical model.
Seismic noise coupling of the PF actuator
- Coils for the new PF actuators will be mounted on the ground.
- We need to estimate the seismic motion coupling of this actuator.
- Measurement of the coupling using a scale will be necessary
- Probably an action item for CRY
Meeting Materials
Current status and plan of CRY payload by Ushiba
Goal of the meeting
Decide the followings
Deliverables of the work
A document to answer the following questions
- Does the expected actuator noise level satisfy the KAGRA requirement ?
- Can we lock the interferometer with the modified actuators ?
- Is lock acquisition possible ? (ignore noise)
- Can we keep the lock with weak damping ? i.e., not injecting excess control noise from strong damping
- Can we damp all the resonant modes of the CRY payload within reasonable time (like 1 minutes) ?
Methods
- Create a SUMCON model of modified CRY payload
- Implement local damping loops on simulation
- Check the damping efficiency of resonant modes
- Implement a hierarchical control scheme on simulation
- Check the controllability of the suspension
- How can you evaluate the feasibility of lock acquisition ?
Assignment
- Create a SUMCON model: Shoda, Ushiba, Miyo
- Damping and hierarchical control: Ushiba, Yamada, Nakano, Shoda, Miyo, Terrence
- Set requirements from IFO: Nakano, Michimura
Deadline
- Mid-June: intermediate report on the progress at a meeting
- End-of-June: final report (too aggressive ?)
