Fully-active suspensions (full-bandwidth active suspensions)

Active chassis system concepts
Fully-active suspensions: the difference between slow and fully-active suspensions
is in terms of bandwidth. The fully-active actuator is able to react in milliseconds
(bandwidth of 20–30Hz). As in slow-active suspension systems, the control variable is
the suspension force F. Interestingly enough, the available bandwidth is the same as
semi-active suspensions. However since the controllability range is beyond the passivity
constraint, the overall power request is relatively high-demanding, around tens of
kilo-Watts. (Source: Semi-Active Suspension Control Design for Vehicles)

Williams reactive / active suspension in F1
When Lotus and others were starting to develop active suspension. They needed responsive, lightweight control systems to retain a consistent ride height. The precise control, flexibility and ‘power density’ of hydraulics – rather than electrical alternatives – resulted in widespread adoption, ultimately controlling the braking, steering, engine and gearbox.

This system allowed infinitely variable control of vehicle pitch, roll, ride height as well as spring and damper characteristics.
This allowed the car to maintain a level attitude, reducing aerodynamic drag under acceleration. Handling was also
enhanced, as it was possible to reduce or eliminate roll and the suspension characteristics were able to adapt to the
track conditions. In practice a significant amount of engine power was required to power the hydraulics. (Source: Moog)
