Research on Maglev (Magnetic Levitation) train is currently being conducted in Korea, concerning Urban Transit (110 km/h of maximum speed), semi-high-speed (200 km/h of maximum speed), and high-speed (550 km/h of maximum speed) trains. This paper presents a research study on the levitation and guidance systems for the Korean semi-high-speed maglev train. A levitation electromagnet was designed, and the need for a separate guidance system was analyzed. A guidance electromagnet to control the lateral displacement of the train and ensure its stable operation was then also designed, and its characteristics were analyzed. The dynamic performance of the designed levitation and guidance electromagnets was modeled and analyzed, using a linearized modeling of the system equations of motion. Lastly, a test setup was prepared, including manufactured prototypes of the designed system, and the validity of the design was verified and examined with performance evaluation tests.

The magnetic levitation system has great advantages, such as little friction, no lubrication, no noise and so on. But the magnetic levitation system need a stabilizing controller because it is a unstable, system in natural and it need a sensor for displacement measurement to control the system. In this paper, we proposed a sensorless method to measure the gap between the magnetic pole and the levitated object with application the inductance characteristic which vary according to gap. We made a driving circuit which supply simultaneously the control input PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) signal and the carrier PWM signal to estimate the gap. Because the inductance is a function of gap, and the current of the carrier signal is a function of the inductance, we could estimate the gap from the measurement of the current of the carrier signal. Finally, we investigated the validity of the proposed method through the experimental results.

A new hybrid permanent magnet biased magnetic levitation actuator (maglev) is developed. This new maglev actuator is composed of two C-core electromagnetic cores separated with two permanent magnets. Compared to the conventional hybrid maglev actuators, the new actuator has unique flux paths such that bias flux paths are separated with control flux paths. The control flux paths have minimum reluctances only developed by air gaps, so the currents to produce control fluxes can be minimized. The gravity load can be compensated with the permanent magnet bias fluxes developed at off-centered air gap positions while external disturbances are controlled with control fluxes by currents. The consumed power to operate this levitation system can be minimized. 1-D magnetic circuit model is developed for this model such that the flux densities and magnetic forces are extensively analyzed. 3-D finite element model is also developed to analyze the performances of the maglev actuator.

Recently, there are a great many research for magnetic levitation system. In case electromagnet is operated as the actuator of control system, first of all, we must analysis about an electromagnet. Important parameters of this system are inductance(L) and resistance(R) which are induced from the coil of electromagnet. And attractive force equation is also important. If the load of this system is large, phase delay is caused by self-inductance effect. Because this delay effect cause stability of whole magnetic evitation system to grow worse, a measures to diminish time constant must have been taken. And the linearized attractive force equation which is used at small range of the operating point is compensated to use at larger range, thus the experiment of magnetic levitation system will get a better result.

The performance of magnetic levitation controller is affected from not only levitation control algorithm but also the interaction between compositing system, so it is important to design maglev system considering the character of magnetic levitation controller in order to get the required performance of Maglev. The factors affecting the levitation controller of maglev are the dynamics of levitation magnet, the carrying weight of the overall system, the normal force and lateral force of traction motor and rail condition. In this paper the interaction between magnet and vehicle weight is analysed on side of stability of levitation controller in order to get the required performance of levitation controller.

본 논문에서는 이동할 때 마찰이 없고 소음이나 먼지가 발생하지 않는 자기부상 물류이송시스템의 설계 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 자기부상 이송시스템은 크게 부상시스템과 추진시스템으로 구분된다. 자기부상시스템은 레일로 전자석을 끌어당기는 흡인식 부상시스템으로 구현하였으며, PID 제어기를 사용하여 전자석 공급 전류를 제어하였다. 자기부상 이송시스템의 추진시스템에는 바퀴의 마찰과 모터의 회전이 없고 소음이 최소화 되는 선형 유도전동기를 사용하였다. 추진시스템의 제어방법은 입력되는 직류전압에서 큰 교류전압을 얻을 수 있는 공간벡터 펄스폭 변조방식을 적용하였다. 제안한 자기부상 물류이송시스템은 부상 및 추진 제어 실험을 통하여 성능을 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 자기부상 물류이송시스템의 부상 및 추진제어기 설계 방법을 제안하였다. 부상제어기는 롤과 피치 움직임을 최소화시키기 위해 전자석간의 상호영향을 고려하여 설계하였다. 자기부상이송시스템의 구조적인 단점을 해결하기 위하여 기준입력단에 지수형 필터를 적용하여 기존 제어기의 문제점을 개선하였다. DSP기반의 제어하드웨어를 개발하고, 정격 공극 부상 실험을 통해 부상제어기법이 설계 목표를 만족함을 검증하였다. 추진제어기는 공간벡터 전압변조기법을 사용하고, 레일의 전 구간에 부착된 바코드 정보로부터 절대위치를 감지하여 위치 및 속도 프로파일을 추종하도록 설계하였다. 추진제어 왕복 이동 실험을 통해 위치 제어 결과가 만족할만한 성능임을 확인하였다.

This paper describes the simulation of the levitation force between permanent magnet and high Tc(critical temperature) superconductor(HTSC). Levitation force is evaluated numerically on the basis of the magnetic vector potential method and the critical state model. The superconductor is approximated to 2-D slab model. By performing computations, the following characteristics have been investigated: the process of the generation of hysteresis, the various hysteretic behaviors. The characteristics of hysteresis are important for the application to magnetic bearing, for the damping and the nonlinear stiffness is related to hysteresis.

Magnetic levitation system is nonlinear and inherently unstable, so it is difficult to control. Analog control circuit was widly used as the controller of magnetic levitation system, but digital controller is now substituted for analog controller according to development of digital electronics. In this study, Atmel AVR series, ATmega 128 which is a kind of $\mu$-processor for digital controller is used because the chip is cheap and popular. We designed and made ATmega 128 one-board controller and aimed to verify validity through the experiance of levitation response.
