What is Active Damping ?

Active damping refers to using control systems to actively counteract oscillations or vibrations in a mechanical or electrical system. Unlike passive damping, which relies on materials or components that naturally dissipate energy (like shock absorbers or resistors), active damping uses sensors and actuators to continuously monitor and adjust the system's response in real-time.

For example, active damping might involve using motors or electromagnetic actuators to counteract vibrations in mechanical systems. In electrical systems, such as power electronics, active damping can refer to feedback control loops that stabilize oscillations in current or voltage.

It is commonly used in applications like robotics, aerospace, automotive suspension systems, and power grid stabilization to improve system performance, stability, and safety.
