The combined type self-powered active vibration control systems, which produces control force using energy regenerated by dampers are applied to rubber-tired vehicle suspensions. To discuss its feasibility, the balance between the regenerated and the consumed energy is examined and the conditions under which regenerated energy is greater than consumed energy are obtained. Then control schemes of the self-powered system are presented and their performance are examined through numerical simulations. The results indicate that the system achieves active vibration control without external energy and its performance is as good as a typical active controller using external energy.
