INTRODUCTION crude oils and other resources which leads to global earthling. Magnetic Levitation is the latest in transportation technology A train which is capable of floating in mid-Air without any and has been the interest of many countries around the world. support rather than magnetic field [7]. The scope of magnetic A train which is capable of floating in mid-Air without any levitation system is most important in transportation system. support rather than magnetic field. This train doesn't have a motorized engine neither a diesel nor a charcoal engine but uses a theory of a linear motor for its propulsion[5]. Its maintenance cost is very low in terms of traditional engines as there is no contact between train and tracks. Since this train undergoes no friction hence this train is capable of exceeding the speed of 580km/h, thus this train is considered as flying of ground. These types of train are purely for long distance travel and a futuristic invention to reduce on travel time. If a maglev train is implemented in India then Delhi is just 3& 1/2hr away from Mumbai. Talking about smart platforms, we came up with solution for three major issues they are as follows- 1) Wheelchair handicaps to board into the train. 2) Water clogging on railway tracks. 3) GREEN ENERGY Fig.1.Block diagram. 1. Government of India has already taken a great initiative to High Speed Maglev trains are achieved by the add a handicap boogie in a train but one thing they missed combinations of magnetic field.

This eliminates the need for a separate clog. low-speed suspension system, and can simplify track layout. On the downside, the dynamic instability demands fine track A. What is maglev train and how it works? tolerances, which can offset this advantage. Eric Maglev is a system in which the vehicle runs levitated from Lewthwaite was concerned that to meet required tolerances, the guide way (corresponding to the rail tracks of the gap between magnets and rail would have to be increased conventional railways) by using electromagnetic forces to the point where the magnets would be unreasonably between superconducting magnets on board the vehicle and large. In practice, this problem was addressed through coils on the ground. The following is a general explanation of improved feedback systems, which support the required the principle of Maglev. Magnets interact when opposite tolerances. polarity and repels at same polarity, this repulsive and attractive forces cause of levitation. Magnetic Levitation is described by FARADAY’S and LENZ’S LAW, negative of rate of change of flux with respect to time is equal to electromotive force induced in close circuit. In the public imagination, "maglev" often evokes the concept of an elevated monorail track with a linear motor. Fig.2.EMS model Maglev systems may be monorail or dual rail and not all At balance position both forces are equal that mean monorail trains are maglevs. Some railway transport systems electromagnetic attractive force is equal to gravitational force incorporate linear motors but use electromagnetism only towards downward. for propulsion, without levitating the vehicle. Such trains Net force = Gravitational force (downward) – have wheels and are not maglevs. Maglev tracks, monorail or electromagnetic force (upward) not, can also be constructed at grade (i.e. not elevated). = mg –(퐼/퐻)2 Conversely, non-maglev tracks, monorail or not, can be G-gravitational constant. elevated too.

The system is typically arranged on a series of C-shaped arms, with the upper portion of the arm attached to the vehicle, and the lower inside edge containing the magnets. The rail is situated inside the C, between the upper and lower edges. Magnetic attraction varies inversely with the cube of distance, so minor changes in distance between the magnets and the rail produce greatly varying forces.

  • Speed Increasing Scheme by Using 3000V Dc Power Supply for Low-Speed Maglev

Qin National Maglev Engineering Technology Center, Tongji University (Shanghai, China) SPEED INCREASING SCHEME BY USING 3000V DC POWER SUPPLY FOR LOW-SPEED MAGLEV Background: Low-speed maglev is usually designed to run at a maximum speed of about 100~110 km/h, the system does not have any advantage to the traditional urban railway transportation system at the aspect of running speed. Aim: Increase the speed of low-speed Maglev is an urgent task for future promotion. Methods: This paper presents a speed increasing scheme by using 3000 V DC power supply instead of original 1500 V DC. Results: Under this condition, the max output voltage of propulsion inverter could be doubled. For reason that the insulation of linear induction motor has enough margin, only small adjustment of motor is needed to adapt the doubled voltage. Conclusion: To calculate the performance of low-speed maglev while using 3000 V DC, a T-model circuit of single-sided linear induction motor is built, and the result shows that the maximum running speed could be increased to over 160 km/h. This scheme provides a promising way for speed increasing, and it’s a simple and economical approach to enhance the competitiveness of low-speed maglev.

  • A New Strategy for Improving the Tracking Performance of Magnetic Levitation System in Maglev Train
    S S symmetry Article A New Strategy for Improving the Tracking Performance of Magnetic Levitation System in Maglev Train Mingda Zhai , Zhiqiang Long * and Xiaolong Li College of Intelligence Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 18 July 2019; Accepted: 13 August 2019; Published: 16 August 2019 Abstract: The maglev train is a whole new method of transportation without wheels, consisting of 20 groups of symmetry suspension units. The magnetic levitation system plays a major role in suspending the maglev train stably and following the track quickly with the desired gap. However, vertical track irregularity in the maglev train line has a dreadful effect on the tracking performance of the magnetic levitation system. The investigations carried out by our team have revealed that the fluctuation of the suspension gap becomes more and more serious with increases in running speed. In this paper, a mathematical model with consideration of vertical track irregularity is established. In order to overcome and suppress the fluctuation of the suspension gap, we propose a new strategy which includes installing an accelerometer on the electromagnet to address this problem. This strategy has already been successfully implemented and applied to the suspension controller for a magnetic levitation system in the Changsha maglev express. Real operation data indicates the tracking performance of the magnetic levitation system was obviously improved. Keywords: maglev train; symmetry; magnetic levitation system; vertical track irregularity; tracking performance; strategy 1. Introduction In 1814, the first steam locomotive was invented by George Stephenson, renowned as the “Father of Railways”.

  • Study on the Optimization of Linear Induction Motor Traction System for Fast-Speed Maglev Train
    ТРАНСПОРТНЫЕ СИСТЕМЫ И ТЕХНОЛОГИИ ОРИГИНАЛЬНЫЕ СТАТЬИ 156 TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY ORIGINAL STUDIES DOI 10.17816/transsyst201843s1156-164 © Y. Yang, J. Deng , L. Tong, X. Li, Q. Peng, W. Zhang CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive CO., LTD (Zhuzhou, China) STUDY ON THE OPTIMIZATION OF LINEAR INDUCTION MOTOR TRACTION SYSTEM FOR FAST-SPEED MAGLEV TRAIN Background: The short stator linear induction motor (LIM) is normally used in medium- low speed maglev train. The restriction by mounting space on bogie and motor input voltage from the third power supply rail lead that the maximum speed of medium-low speed maglev train can reach no more than 120 km/h. Aim: In this paper, by means of the LIM design optimization, improvement of the LIM force characteristic in high speed range, the maximum speed of medium-low speed maglev train can reach 160 km/h. Methods: After comparing the LIM theoretical calculation and actual test data, it shows that the new designed LIM is effective. Conclusion: Afterwards, by installing the new designed LIMs, the traditional medium-low speed maglev train becomes a fast-speed maglev train, and it has a bright future in transportation applications. Keywords: linear induction motor, maglev train, medium-low speed, fast-speed, suspension bogie, traction system, F-shaped track, Changsha maglev express. INTRODUCTION Till now, three maglev research and development groups in China have respectively built three 1.5~1.7 km long medium-low speed maglev engineering test line in Zhuzhou, ShanghaiandTangshan. All these three test trains on the three test lines use linear induction motors (LIM) with VVVF converter and control system.
