Abstract

The uneven reaction surface profile facing the lift magnets in attractive Maglev vehicles naturally brings about pitch motion of the bogie. In particular, in the placement configuration of the long stator of the linear synchronous motor (LSM) on the track for high-speed propulsion, surface irregularities and the offsets between the stator packs create measurable airgaps, i.e., the clearance between the magnet and the stator, with discontinuously extreme values, resulting in bogie pitch motion. This occurs because the airgap velocities and accelerations derived by the differentiations of the measured air-gaps are used to determine the voltages applied to the magnets. This paper incorporates bogie pitch motion into a control law for each magnet controller to reduce the variations in both the airgap and the pitch angle. The effectiveness of the proposed method is analyzed using a full-scale Maglev vehicle running over a test track.

선형동기전동기(이하 LSM)를 기반으로 하는 자기부상열차의 경우 부상전자석의 대응면이 LSM의 고정자로 요철 형상을 가지고 있기 때문에 주행 시 부상력이 급변동하는 특징이 있다. 특히, LSM을 이용하는 초고속 자기부상열차의 경우, 고속주행을 위해 부상전자석을 대차에 직접 채결하는 방식을 채택하는데 이러한 체결방식 때문에 인접한 부상전자석들간의 운동 간섭이 심하여 대차에 피치운동이 심하게 발생한다. 이러한 문제들을 해소하기 위해 본 논문에서는 피치운동을 반영한 자기부상제어를 소개한다. 제안하는 부상제어는 개별 부상 전자석의 부상공극을 일정하게 유지시켜 줄 뿐만 아니라 인접한 부상전자석들간의 상대운동을 저감하는데 큰 효과가 있다. 제안한 개념을 시험용 자기부상열차에 적용하여 그 효용성을 검증한다.
