Recently, an interest in a hybrid system combining only the merits of the conventional wheel-rail system and Maglev propulsion system is growing as an alternative to high-speed maglev train. This hybrid-type system is based on wheel-rail method, but it enables to overcome the speed limitation by adhesion because it is operated by a non-contact method using a linear motor as a propulsion system and reduce the overall construction costs by its compatibility with the conventional railway systems. Therefore, a comparative analysis on electromagnetic characteristics according to the structural combinations on the stator-mover of Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM) for Very High Speed Train (VHST) maintaining the conventional wheel-rail method is conducted, and the structure of coreless superconducting LSM suitable for 600 km/h VHST is finally proposed in this paper.

The Stability

There are two major obstacles that prevent a conventional train from achieving high speed: the limitation of wheel–rail adhesion and the increase of instability in the wheel–rail running dynamics. To overcome these problems, a new hybrid train model is introduced in this study. This train utilizes a superconducting linear synchronous motor (SC-LSM), instead of a traction motor, for propulsion; therefore, this train does not have the limitation of adhesion between the wheel and the rail. Using an SC-LSM also improves the stability of the train during high-speed operations. The magnetic stiffness between the train and the guideway is additionally generated by using the SC-LSM, which is favorable for the running stability at a high speed. This study focuses on the magnetic stiffness and its effect on the running stability in the proposed hybrid train model. First, the magnetic stiffness in the SC-LSM is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Then, a train dynamic model including the magnetic stiffness is developed and the effect of magnetic stiffness on the running stability is analyzed through various simulations.

Linear Synchronous Motor

With the advantages of high speed, low noise and high efficiency, the electromagnetic suspension (EMS) type maglev train has a good prospect in railway transportation. It is based on the long stator linear synchronous motor (LSLSM). However, due to cogging effect, end effect and the harmonics in the stator current and flux density distribution around the air-gap, the thrust generated by the LSLSM fluctuates. The thrust ripple brings noise, drop of control accuracy, even causes the resonance of train. In this paper, the thrust ripple produced by the cogging effect and flux linkage harmonics is analyzed. Then a method of harmonic current injection is proposed to compensate cogging force and reduce the thrust ripple, without influence the decoupling control of traction and suspension system. The injected current harmonics are controlled under multiple rotating reference frames independently. Finally, based on voltage equations of harmonics, the decoupled harmonic current controllers with harmonic voltage feedforward are designed, which improve the performance of current harmonics response and thrust ripple suppression. Simulation results on Simulink verify the effectiveness of proposed thrust ripple suppression method for LSLSM.

Coupling Characteristics

Background: In the maglev train propelled by long stator linear synchronous motor (LSLSM), the thrust characteristics are one of important points to evaluate the performance of the system. However, coupling effect exists between the propulsion and levitation system. Therefore, the interference from the levitation system must be considered when the propulsion system is designed. Aim: The article focus on the analysis of coupling characteristics of thrust and levitation force of maglev train, and a special excitation system is designed for the study. Methods: In order to study the thrust performance under the fluctuating air gap field under laboratory conditions, a rotating synchronous motor has been designed to imitate the long stator linear synchronous motor applied in high speed maglev train. And a special excitation system is designed for the rotating synchronous motor, which can simulate the fluctuation of the exciting current during the actual operation of maglev train. The air gap of the rotating synchronous motor is kept as constant, and the fluctuating excitation current is added to the excitation winding of the rotating synchronous motor, thus the simulation of air gap magnetic field variation is achieved. Results: The special excitation system of the experimental motor is introduced in detail. Conclusion: The relationship between thrust and levitation force of long stator linear synchronous motor (LSLSM) in maglev train is strong coupling, non-linear, and dynamic. Complete decoupling of thrust and levitation force is not easy to be achieved. The experimental platform has been built to study the coupling characteristics of thrust and levitation force of maglev train.
