This paper presents numerical analysis and design of high power contactless transformer with a large air-gap for moving on a guided linear track which is appropriate for high-speed train or MAGLEV. The system has the typical characteristics of large leakage inductance, small magnetizing inductance, and low coupling coefficients giving rise to lower power transfer efficiency, which have been compensated by the purposely-designed contactless transformer coupled with the resonant converter modulating with high switching frequency. In particular, the best model selected from the generated six design candidates has been applied for 3D Finite Element Analysis (FEA) investigating on iron loss to evaluate the overall system efficiency.

Computer simulation studies are a useful means to investigate the safety and performance of a high-speed magnetically levitated vehicle negotiating an elevated guideway. In this paper the dynamic interaction between moving vehicles and a span continuous guideway was discussed and with the consideration of the magnetic levitation system, the maglev levitation system and guideway dynamic interaction model was developed. Numerical simulation was performed to understand dynamic characteristics of the guideway used in practice. The result show that vehicle speed, span length and primary frequency of the guideway have an important influence on the dynamic responses of the guideway.

The data transmission system in MAGLEV is required a high quality and high speed for a train safety and reliability driving. In the transmission channel between a vehicle and a ground-site, Gaussian noise is negligible, but impulse noise from the chopper controlled propulsoin unit and the Power supplying device is very severe. The transmission channel must be protected from these noise. In this paper, we propose a DSSS (direct-sequence spread spectrum) modulation as a new data transmission technique in the railway and analyze this data transmission characteristics.

This paper presents a new high-performance intelligent controlled current-source (CCS) system which can compensate for modelling errors of armature resistance, leakage and magnetizing inductances and for space harmonic components of speed EMF's. A shuttle-motion simulation is presented in the mass-reduced-mode in which an equivalent vehicle weight is reduced, by 40kg to 7kg. This study provides one of the most important key-tech-nologies in driving practical linear synchronous motor (LSM) Maglev vehicle.

The vertical curve of railway is installed in changing point where the gradient is more than a certain degree to ensure safe operation of train and comfort of passengers. As a result of CAD work with 3D coordination by using the existing equation, it was found that the simple equation about vertical curve installation suggested in the surveying engineering or railway regulations did not reflect theoretical curvature of circular curve in a case of steep grade and large vertical radius. In this study, for derive precision equation and transition curve about vertical curve, gradient parameters, equation of circles and transition curve equation were used, and it was verified by CAD that the derived equation is exactly satisfied with parameters of geometrical circular and transition curve. This equation could be used to provide more smoothing operation of train and comfort of passengers on vertical curves, especially in case that railway requires precision vertical alignment of track such as super high-speed railway, LRT or Maglev system.

본 논문에서는 3차원 자기부상열차에 대한 열차-가이드웨이 상호작용 해석기법을 제시하고자 한다. 수직 및 수평방향 변위, 피칭, 롤링 그리고 요잉에 대한 자유도를 각 보기와 차체에 대해 고려하여 총 25자 유도 자기부상열차에 대한 운동방정식을 유도하였다. 제어방식으로는 UTM01에 적용된 제어기법을 이용하였고, 궤도 틀림을 고려하기 위하여 미국 FRA에 적용하고 있는 궤도 불규칙성에 대한 밀도 스펙트럼 함수를 이용하여 조도를 생성하였다. 같은 조건하에 2차원 모델과 3차원 모델의 동적응답 결과를 비교하여 타당성을 확인하였고, 2차원 모델에서 고려할 수 없는 수평방향 조도를 도입하였을 때 수직방향 부상공극에는 두드러진 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 수평방향 부상변위에 있어서 중요하게 작용함을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the numerical simulation results on the moving type electrodynamic suspension (EDS) simulator. Superconducting EDS system is generated by the interaction between the magnetic field made by the induced the eddy current in the ground conductor and the moving magnetic field made by onboard superconducting magnet. The levitation force of EDS system, which is proportional to the strength of the moving magnetic field, becomes saturated according to the increase of the velocity Especially, the levitation force is influenced by the structure of HTS magnet and ground conductor. The 3-D numerical analysis with FEM was used to find the distribution of the magnetic field, the optimal coil structure, and the calculation of the levitation force.

The recent trains are almost being operated by the mechanical propulsion force to drive the gear and wheel with the traction motor. However Magnetic Levitation Vehicle is differently operated. Magnetic Levitation Vehicle is applied with Linear Induction Motor(LIM) that has many advantage like to high capability of going up to slope, low noise, easy to control of speed. So domestic and many advanced countries are interested in Magnetic Levitation Vehicle and they have been studying about it continuously. Thus this paper is studied the LIM test method of static states and guess the optimum driving point by characteristic of static states for LIM. The test items are measurement of thrust force by changed air gap, measurement of thrust force and normal force by changed slip frequency etc.

This paper deals with the characteristics of a small scale $high-T_c$ superconducting(HTSC) levitation system. The levitation tester. which models after electrodynamic suspension(EDS) maglev, consists of one HTSC magnet, a reaction plate, and force measuring components. Instead of moving magnet, AC current was applied to the fixed HTSC magnet. The magnet also has persistent current switch(PCS). The inductance of the magnet was 18.5 mH and total joint resistance of the magnet was $5.74{\times}10^{-7}\Omega$. AC current was applied into the HTSC magnet with various frequencies and the levitation force was calculated and measured. According to the increase of the vehicle speed, the levitation force was saturated.
