In this paper, a study on the efficiency improvement of the magnetic levitation train using the LIM (Linear Induction Motor) was presented. The maglev train has the advantage of being environmentally friendly since much less noise and dust is produced. However, due to structural limitation, compared to a rotating induction motor, linear induction motor, the main propulsion engine of the maglev train has a relatively greater air gap and hence has the lower operation efficiency. In this paper, the relationship between the operating condition of the train and the slip frequency has been investigated to find out the optimum slip frequency that might improve the efficiency of the magnetic levitation train with linear induction motor. The slip frequency is variable during the operation by this relationship only within a range that does not affect the levitation system of the train. After that, the comparison of the efficiency between the conventional control method with the slip frequency fixed at 13.5[Hz] and the proposed method with the slip frequency variable from 9.5[Hz] to 6.5[Hz] has been conducted by simulation using Simplorer. Experiments of 19.5[ton] magnetic levitation trains owned by Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials were carried out to verify the simulation results.

A linear induction motor have advantages for reducing mechanical frictions and noises because it has thrust force by induced torque instead of friction force between rail and wheels. An it has additional advantage for reducing volume of bogie frame for light rail transit. The small volume causes the cost of construction down. Recently, researches of linear induction motor for thrust force of the light rail transit have been actively studied. For the rail transit, vehicle is running as follow accelerating and constant speed, finally decelerating speed passing local stops between stations. The light rail transit have only these three patterns of operating. Thus, design of that has different design specifications from others. In this paper, the linear induction motor for the light rail transit was designed considering the goal speed, accelerating time, and accelerating distance for approaching the goal speed. The designed motor was proved that it could meet the requirement of accelerating performance by2-dimensional finite element method and mechanical dynamics equation.

An analysis method about Transverse Edge Effect is suggested which can be applied even in transversal decline when the mover of linear induction motor runs along a curvilinear path. The criteria for linear induction motor design is proposed by indentifying the influence of the ratio of width and displacement of primary and secondary.

This paper proposes the linear induction motor with salient poles, transverse flux and the secondary aluminum conductor for a new type urban MAGLEV. Compared with the more usual kind of linear induction motor with longitudinal flux, TFLIM have flux paths tying transversely to the direction of motion. This shortens the magnetic circuit and produces the thrust, the attraction force and the lateral stabilization force simultaneously. Owing to these electrodynamic force, TFLIM will be usable to a new type urban MGLEV.

This paper deals with a robust controller for an induction motor (IM) which is represented as a linear parameter varying systems. To do so linear matrix inequality (LMI) based approach and robust Lyapunov feedback are associated. This approach is related to the fact that the synthesis of a linear parameter varying (LPV) feedback controller for the inner loop take into account rotor resistance and mechanical speed as varying parameter. An LPV flux observer is also synthesized to estimate rotor flux providing reference to cited above regulator. The induction motor is described as a polytopic LPV system because of speed and rotor resistance affine dependence. Their values can be estimated on line during systems operations. The simulation and experimental results largely confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control.

This paper analyzed longitudinal end effect occurred in linear induction motor by using I-d direct solution and its result is verified by 2-d Finite Element Method(FEM). Longitudinal end effect of linear induction motor caused by magnetic discontinuity in primary core and electric discontinuity in armature winding has been investigated by many researchers. In this paper, 1-d direct solution and boundary conditions proposed by Yamamura and Nasar is used to analyze end effect of linear induction motor and its solution is verified by 2-d FEM.

A Linear Induction Motor that generates the direct thrust directly, is widely used for the operation system of electrified railroad, elevation system, conveyer system, and so on. There are two analysis methode of linear induction motor characteristics. One is the electrical magnetic analyzing, the other is analyzing equivalent circuit.
