Abstract

In the case of a Linear Induction Motor (LIM), numerical analysis method like Finite Element Method (FEM) has been mainly used to analyze the travelling magnetic field problem which includes the velocity-induced electromotive force. If the problem including the velocity-induced electromotive force is analyzed by FEM using the Galerkin method, the solution can be oscillated according to the Peclet Number, which is determined by conductivity, permeability, moving velocity and size of mesh. Consequently, the accuracy of the solution can be low and the vortexes of flux can be occurred at the secondary back-iron. These vortexes of the flux occurred at the secondary back-iron does not exist physically, but it can be occurred in the analysis. In this case, the vortexes of the flux can be generally removed by using Up-Wind method which is impossible to apply a conventional S/W tool (Maxwell 2D). Therefore, in this paper, authors examined the vortexes of the flux occurred at the secondary back-iron of the LIM according to variations of the Peclet Number, and analyzed whether these vortexes of the flux affect on the dynamic force characteristics of the LIM or not.

선형유도전동기와 같은 속도기전력을 포함하는 운동자계 문제를 Galerkin 법을 이용하는 FEM으로 해석할 경우, Peclet Number의 값에 따라 해가 오실레이션 할 수 있으므로 해의 안정성이 떨어지게 되며, 더불어서 2차측 Back-Iron에서 자속이 외부와 쇄교하지 못하고 내부에서 맴도는 자속 맴돌이 현상이 발생하게 된다. 이 경우, 일반적으로 Up-Wind 기법을 이용하여 자속의 맴돌이 현상을 해결하게 되는데, 범용 S/W Tool(Maxwell 2D)의 경우 Up-Wind 기법을 적용하기가 힘들다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Peclet Number 값에 따른 선형유도전동기의 2차측 Back-Iron에서 발생하는 자속의 맴돌이 현상을 살펴보고, 자속의 맴돌이 현상이 선형유도전동기의 동특성에 어떠한 영향을 끼치는지를 분석하였다.
