Electromagnetic levitated systems commonly used in the field of people transportation, tool machines frictionless bearings and conveyor systems. In the case of high speed people transport vehicles, the electromagnetic levitation offers the advantage of a very silent motion and of a reduced maintenance of the rail. Magnetic levitated trains requires the guidance force needed to keep the vehicles on the track is obtained with the levitation electromagnets, Particular shapes of the rails and to a clever placement of the electromagnets with respect to the rails helpful and effective to achieve the goal. This article gives the basic idea of the electromagnets trains and its control system mechanism

The goal of this study was the development of a control method for the levitation stabilization of an aerodynamically levitated train called “Aero-Train,” which is a high-speed and high-efficiency train system that levitates using the wing-in-ground effect acting on a U-shaped guideway. To achieve this goal, the authors have been developing the experimental manned vehicle ART003R. This paper provides an overview of ART003R and its control system. Moreover, a description is given of the results of preliminary levitation experiments using simple PD control, which confirmed the effectiveness of the developed control system hardware.

Aim: To reduce the levitation energy consumption and alleviate the adverse effects caused by the over-heating of the electromagnet. Methods: The design and manufacturing of hybrid electromagnet are introduced firstly. Secondly, the modification of driving chopper module together with a levitation control strategy and the design of an adsorption-prevention module are presented in details. Thirdly, a complete two-carriage maglev train is upgraded with the proposed hybrid electromagnet, choppers, and adsorption modules. Finally, an experiment is performed on a 1.5 km high-speed maglev test line to prove the efficiency of the proposed system. Results: In this paper, a novel electromagnetic levitation system architecture and safety protection strategy for the high-speed maglev train are proposed. Conclusion: A novel design of electromagnetic levitation system for high-speed maglev train is designed and implemented.

In the case of long-stator linear drive, unlike rotative drives for which speed or position sensors are a single unit attached to the shaft, these sensors extend along the guideway. The position signals transmitted from maglev vehicle can’t meet the need of the real-time propulsion control in the on-ground inverter power substations. In this paper the design of the propulsion inverter control system with a position estimator for driving long-stator synchronous motor in high speed maglev train is proposed. The experiments have been carried out at the 150m long guideway in O-song test track. To investigate the performance of the position estimator, the propulsion control system with and without the position estimator are compared. The result confirms that the proposed strategy can meet the dynamic property need of propulsion inverter control system for driving long-stator linear synchronous motors

Several factors could affect the function of the electromagnet control system when a high-speed maglev train runs over a bridge. To enhance the robustness of the electromagnet control system to the high-speed maglev train running over the bridge, a fuzzy active control rule is introduced into the currently used proportional–integral–derivative (PID) control system. Numerical analyses are then conducted with a high-speed maglev train passing through a series of simply supported beams. The numerical results with the fuzzy PID active control are compared with the maglev train–bridge system with the equivalent linearized electromagnetic forces. The comparative results show that the introduction of the fuzzy PID control system has improved the comfort of the maglev train and that the overall dynamic response of the bridge is reduced. There is an obvious time delay for the maximum dynamic response of the bridge to the high speed of the train.
