This paper deals with the modeling and control of a magnetically levitated planar motor. The actuator considered has moving coils and stationary magnets. The principal objective is to develop a model which can be implemented in simulation. Therefore, the d ...
Application of power electronics in variable speed electric drives enables utilization of ac machines with a phase number higher than three. It then becomes possible to use the additional degrees of freedom, available in multi-phase systems, to control oth ...
Initially, linear motors have been particularly dedicated to transportation systems. Nowadays, linear motors are meant to replace a system using a rotating motor and a transmission to realize a linear movement. With linear motors the performances increase ...
SWISSMETRO is a MAGLEV Project, designed for a speed up to 500 km/h in two tunnels under partial vacuum. The authors investigate new possibilities to combine the propulsion and levitation. Polarized inductors for the levitation are studied, implying a pola ...
Maglev (>400 km/h) refer to Maglev such as the Japanese JR-Maglev MLX, the German Transrapid and the USA Inductrack. The Swissmetro Project, presenting a unique aspect of Maglev, is designed to work under partial vacuum (
High speed rotation of small rotors is needed more and more in many industrial applications. Classical examples are compact devices like scanners, gyroscopes, centrifuge units and so on. The key to achieve high rotating speeds is to have contactless bearin ...
Among the structure independent approaches of process integration, pinch technology has been shown for continuous processes to be extremely powerful to develop energy efficient processes and enhance synergic effects within and between processes. The earlie ...
Sensorless control of PMSM's (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors) has occupied scientists for a long time. The result of this research is becoming widely accepted by the industry due to its low cost and reliability. However, the majority of today's motor ...
Electric motors consume over half of the electrical energy produced by power stations, almost the three-quarters of the electrical consumption in industry and almost the half of commercial electrical consumption in developed countries. Motors are by far th ...
Swissmetro is a MAGLEV Project between the main cities of Switzerland, designed for a speed up to 500 [km/h] in two tunnels under partial vacuum. Two propulsion variants are considered: - the short stators of the linear homopolar motors are fixed with the ...
