Through the last few decades, the motivation of machine tool development has been driven by the need for higher performance. This implies the improvement of the machine tool subsystems in order to attain the utmost accuracy and productivity. As one of the main machine tool subsystems, the feed drive system design and development has a profound effect on the overall performance of machine tools. A conventional feed drive system is composed of a servomotor, a gear set, a ball screw and a sliding mass. High performance of the machine tool means the capability of the machine tool slide to execute high accelerations and decelerations required for contouring operations. It has been verified that the variation of the ball-screw pitch and the gear reduction ratio has a profound effect on the machine tool slide acceleration. In addition there are some designs of hydraulic servomotors and other feed drive configurations that could be promising for machine tool applications.

Wind power intermittency represents one of the major challenges facing the future growth of grid-connected wind energy projects. The integration of wind turbines and energy storage systems (ESS) provides a viable approach to mitigate the unfavorable impact on grid stability and power quality. In this study, an economic model predictive control (MPC) framework is presented for an integrated wind turbine and flywheel energy storage system (FESS). The control objective is to smooth wind power output and mitigate tower fatigue load. The optimal control problem within the model predictive control framework has been formulated as a convex optimal control problem with linear dynamics and convex constraints that can be solved globally. The performance of the proposed control algorithm is compared to that of a baseline wind turbine controller. The effect of the proposed control actions on the fatigue loads acting on the tower and blades is investigated. The simulation results, with various wind scenarios, showed the ability of the proposed control algorithm to achieve the aforementioned objectives in terms of smoothing output power and mitigating tower fatigue load with negligible effect on the wind energy harvested.
