In difference with the rotary type electrical machinery, the single-sided linear induction motor(SLIM) that generates the direct thrust, is widely used for the operation system of electrified railroad, lope-less elevation system, conveyer system, and so on. The operational principle of single-sided linear induction motor is constructively similar to the general rotary Induction motor It Is difficult to realize the complicate linear induction motor which is applied space vector pulse width modulation(SVPWM) system, but widely used in vector motor control system or servo control system because of its high performance in current control. In this paper, we has modeled the dynamic characteristic analyzing methode, and calculated efficiently the end effect by using equivalent circuit methode in the operating linear Induction motor control system.

Among different linear motors, single-sided linear induction motors have been widely used in industry due to their simplicity and low construction cost. However, these types of motors suffer from low efficiency and power factor. In this paper, an effective procedure is proposed to design single-sided linear induction motors. The designed motor is simulated in MATLAB software in order to investigate the effect of design parameters on the performance of the machine. Regarding the obtained results, the Genetic Algorithm is employed to optimize the design considering product of efficiency and power factor as objective function. The results show significant improvement of the performance. Finally, experimental results and 2D finite element method is used to validate the model parameters and the optimization results.

Linear metro with single sided linear induction motor is applied to the urban transit system because of non adhesion drive. But linear induction motor is required to reduce the energy consumption to maximize efficiency of LIM. In this paper, design requirements such as pole pitch, motor length, air gap, overhang length and the material of secondary sheet are investigated as major parameter of SLIM. It is effective for increasing the efficiency to adopt the copper reaction plate and decrease the mechanical air gap as small as possible.

In order to design a conveyer system which is driven by short primary single sided linear induction motors (SLIM), the thrust force characteristics of SLIM have been calculated from the fundamental equation based on Maxwell's electromagnetic equation and by varying the various design parameters. A conveyer system of moving secondary has been constructed using the design values obtained by the simulation and these values are compared with the experimental values. The control method of the conveyer system is also proposed.

The thrust control characteristics of single-sided linear induction motor (SLIM) is achieved using PI controller in this paper. The trembling of air gap length between the primary winding and the secondary structure of the SLIM must be minimized in order to get quick response results. Also, the input voltage of SLIM is involved with the time harmonics because most SLIM is driven by inverter. According to the feedback linear control system, this paper describes with applying the non-linear control, speed and estimated flux algorithm. At the result of this experiment, we reached to the improvement of thrust characteristics with PI controller.

In this study, slip frequency control for a single-sided linear induction motor(SLIM) is discussed. We adopted variable slip frequency pattern in stead of constant slip frequency pattern under V/f constant mode, which is effective in improving driving efficiency of SLIM. And the dynamic characteristics are analyzed by using equivalent circuit during the accelerating time.

For the purpose of investigation the thrust force, the lateral force, and the eddy current loss when the primary and the secondary of a single-sided linear induction motor is displaced in the space, this paper proposes an analysis technique for the characteristics of the eddy current induced on the secondary and the magnetic flux density distribution in the y-z plane by F.E.M. To verify the effectiveness of this analysis technique, the starting-thrust force due to a lateral displacement is compared to the experimental data.

In this paper, the direct thrust control of PWM Inverter-fed Single-sided Linear Induction Motor (hereinafter referred to as "SLIM") is achieved with Space Vector control and PI control. The trembling of air gap length which is occured between the primary winding core and the secondaty structure of the SLIM must be minimized in order to get quick response characteristic. First, voltage equations of SLIM are shown on the suitable d-q axis equivalent circuits which analyze characteristics of the thrust and the normal force. Also, modeling and analysis of the d-q axis equivalent circuits are able to make robust transient thrust from the current regulation in the equivalent circuits. These results exemplified the direct drive of SLIM with the reference speed and thrust were verified by the experiments.periments.

A new method for the optimal design of a single-sided linear induction motor(SLIM) is presented. The method utilizes the neural networks and finite element method for optimizing the design parameters of SLIM. The finite element analysis is used to produce a variety of neural networks training data and the neural networks is used for optimizing the design parameters by sequential unconstrained minimization technique(SUMT). As a result, it is known that the novel method is very efficient and accurate as an optimization technique.
