This paper presents the status of advanced technologies and domestic researches for development of Korean next generation maglev. Generally, two specific configurations such as the EMS (Electromagnetic Suspension) with LSM (Linear Synchronous Motor) and EDS (Electrodynamic Suspension) with LSM can be employed as a propulsion and levitation device of high-speed maglev. Worldwide high-speed maglev developments refer to projects such as the German Transrapid with EMS, the Japanese MLX with EDS, and the U.S. Inductrack with PM (Permanent Magnet) EDS maglev system. In this paper, the propulsion and levitation systems of these world wide high-speed maglev have been reviewed and analysed.

현대사회의 고속 고급 교통수단에 대한 요구에 부응하고, 고유가 및 온실가스 등 원유 기반의 교통 시스템의 문제를 해결하기 위해 교통 수단의 다양화 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 석유문제가 심각한 상황으로 전개될 경우, 대륙과 대륙 그리고 국가와 국가 사이의 장거리 이동을 할 수 있는 교통수단은 전기로 추진되는 철도이다. 현재 대중화 되어있는 바퀴 식 철도차량은 초고속 운전 시 기하급수적으로 증가하는 소음, 공기저항 동력 전달의 한계, 레일의 마모라는 문제를 가지고 있으며 이러한 문제점을 가진 철도차량의 대안으로 선형 추진 시스템 연구가 진행 중이다[1] 국내에서는 LSM(Linear Synchronous motor)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으나 LPM 기반 철도 차량 추진시스템에 대한 연구는 이루어지지 않고 있다. 그러나 LSM 추진 시스템에 비하여 LPM 추진 시스템은 우수한 등판 능력, 광역범위의 주행 가능 영역, 경량화에 따른 높은 에너지 효율, 건설비 저감등 다양한 장점을 가지고 있으며 충분한 전략성을 가지고 있다.

This paper proposes a new repulsive-Maglev vehicle in which a vertical type PM linear synchronous motor (LSM) can levitate and propel simultaneously, independently of the vehicle speeds. A compact control method is developed which is based on the concept of controlling individually the levitation system by armature-current and the propulsion system by mechanical load-angle. The levitation-motion control experiments have carried out successfully together with positioning at standstill. The pitching motion has been compensated for very well by using the zero-phase-current control method proposed here.

Recently, the stationary discontinuous armature Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor(PM-LSM) was suggested as a driving source for long-distance transportation system. However, as these motors arrange armatures discontinuously, there occurs an edge which causes the cogging force. This works as a factor that bothers acceleration and deceleration that takes place when movers enter into and eject from the armatures. Therefore, installation of auxiliary teeth on the edge of armature of PM-LSM is suggested in order to reduce cogging force caused by the edge when the armature is placed in a discontinuous arrangement. But length of auxiliary teeth can be changed if install it with auxiliary pole in order to decrease more and more edge cogging force. On this, in the study, decided on a design variable of auxiliary teeth and used 2-D FEA, and examined edge cogging force characteristic along this in order to grasp length of auxiliary teeth changed according to installation positions of an auxiliary pole.

This paper presents the design schemes for the improvement of force characteristics in Controlled permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (CPMLSM). The dependence of motor performance on various design schemes, such as the slot shapes, magnetizing patterns of PM and skewing, have been investigated in detail by using FEM and experiment. From this study, it is known that in the various design schemes, skewing is most efficient in the aspects of force characteristic, efficiency and force density.

Ultra-speed tube train, which runs in vacuum atmosphere to overcome aero-dynamic dragging force, is considered as a high-speed ground transportation system to back up long-distance air travel. To realize the ultra-speed tube train, feasibility study of currently available Maglev technologies especially for propulsion and levitation system is needed. Propulsion by linear synchronous motor(LSM) and levitation by electro-dynamic suspension(EDS) which are utilized in the Japan's MLX system could be one of candidated technologies for ultra-speed tube train. In the LSM-EDS system, the key component is superconducting magnet, and its reliability and performance is very important to guarantee the safe-operation of Maglev. As the initiative of the feasibility study, this paper deals with the basic structure of superconducting magnet and core technologies to design and operate it. And by surveying the current R&D achievement in Korea, the nation's capability to develop advanced superconducting magnet for Maglev is presented.

This paper deals with a comparison between the secondary Halbach array and conventional array of permanent magnets(PMs) in linear synchronous motor(LSM). The finite element method(FEM) is employed for characteristic analysis of the machine. Two types of PMLSM are analyzed and compared, with reference to the following parameters as variables: magnetic field, detent force, static thrust and thrust/secondary weight ratio.

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.
