This study presents the development of parametric identifiers based on an algebraic approach, applied to a modern passive suspension system with an electromechanical regenerative shock absorber. Using a generalized vehicle model, the study addresses the effects of mechanical vibrations, whose control is essential to prevent structural failures and enhance system performance. Accurate parameter estimation and tuning enable not only efficient vibration mitigation but also the optimization of electrical energy generation in regenerative systems. The proposed identifiers are validated through robustness tests and sensitivity analysis, demonstrating their effectiveness and reliability under varying operating conditions.
