Since the variations of electromagnetic suspension forces of maglev trains have close relations with the acceleration of the levitated bodies, it is basic to control the levitation forces using the measured acceleration of vehicles. In this study, an airgap control algorithm based on acceleration feedback is applied to maglev trains and a dynamic analysis method is developed considering maglev train-guideway interaction. Using the developed method, dynamic behaviors of a maglev train-guideway interaction system are investigated. It is observed from the analysis that the current design guidelines can be satisfied when the proposed airgap control algorithm is employed. Using the contorl algorithm, the current guidelines can be improved and economical maglev railway guideway structures can be designed.

본 연구는 자기부상력의 선형 및 비선형효과가 이동중인 자기부상열차의 부상공극에 미치는 영향을 파악하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 자기공극의 피드백을 포함한 1자유도 차량에 대한 운동방정식을 구성하고, 최적능동제어기법을 적용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과 차량의 속도가 증가함에 따라 자기부상력의 선형 및 비선형효과가 자기부상차량의 부상공극에 미치는 영향에 뚜렷한 차이가 발생함을 알 수 있다. 결국 자기부상열차의 정확한 해석을 위해서는 자기부상력의 비선형효과를 고려한 해석이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

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.

The purpose of this study is to examine the dynamic characteristics of low, medium and high speed Maglev trains and guideways through dynamic interaction analysis. The coupled dynamic equations of motion for a vehicle of 10-dof and the associated guideway girders are developed by superposing vibration modes of the girder itself. The controller used in the UTM-01 Maglev vehicle is adopted to control the air gap between the bogie and guideway in this study. The effect of roughness, the guideway deflection-ratio and vehicle speed on the dynamic response of the maglev vehicle and guideway are then investigated using the 4th Runge-Kutta method. From the numerical simulation, it is found that the air gap increases with an increase of vehicle speed and the roughness condition. In particular, the dynamic magnification factor of the guideway girder is small at low and medium speeds, but the factor is noticeable at super-high speeds.

In the paper, we propose a levitation and a propulsion controller for the magnetic levitation logistic transportation system. The levitation controller is designed considering the mutual influence of the electromagnets to minimize roll and pitch movements. In order to solve the structural disadvantages of the magnetic levitation transportation system, we improve the problem of the existing controller by applying the exponential filter to the reference input. DSP-based control hardware is developed and the levitation control method is verified by levitation experiments to the air gap goal. The propulsion controller uses the space vector voltage modulation method. The propulsion controller is designed to follow the position and velocity profile by detecting the absolute position from the bar code information attached to the rail. The position control result shows satisfactory performance through the propulsion control reciprocating motion experiment.

In this study, an analysis method for maglev train-guideway interaction is verified using field measurement data. The cabin and bogies of the maglev train are modeled as rigid bodies that are allowed to have heave and pitch motions. Levitation forces from the electromagnetic suspensions on the bogies are controlled using an active control algorithm. The guideway is represented using the Euler-Bernoulli beam. Considering rigorously the changes in air-gaps and material points at which the levitation forces are applied due to the pitch motions of the bogies, dynamic analysis of maglev train-guideway interaction is performed. Using field measurement data, obtained from the Incheon Airport Maglev Railway, the analysis method is verified. Accuracy of the analysis method is investigated. It is determined that the structures in the railway are designed and constructed safely according to the design code for maglev railways.

벡터 제어이론은 교류전동기의 토오크와 자속을 독립적으로 제어할 수 있는 특징이 있으므로 토오크 제어를 주로 하는 견인용 전동기의 제어에 적용하기 위한 연구가 활발히 수행되어 왔다 그러나 선형 유도전동기 구동에는 아직 널리 사용되지 않은 실정이다 벡터 제어이론은 일반적으로 회전자자속 기준제어(Rotor flux oriented control)을 의미하며 이를 구현하기 위한 방법은 자속을 직접 측정 혹은 연산하는 직접제어 방식과 속도를 측정하여 슬립주파수 명령을 제어하는 간접방식으로 분류된다. 최근에는 기존의 회전자자속 기준방식뿐만 아니라 고정자자속(Stator flux oriented) 공극자속(Air gap flux oriented) 기준 방식등이 제안되고 있다. 본연구에서는 자기부상열차의 추진용 선형 유도 전동기의 추진에 가장 적합하다고 생각되는 고정자자속 기준벡터제어 방식과 이를 구현하기 위한 고정자 자속을 추정하는 방법에 대하여 설명한다. 또한 속도제어를 위한 속도 추정방식도 안내코일 등 부장치 없이 전동기 파라미터로 추정할 수 있는 기법에 대하여 논한다.

The purpose of present study is to examine the effect of guideway characteristics on runnability of low and medium speed maglev vehicle. Dynamic governing equation for 2-dof vehicle and optimal feedback control scheme are developed. And then the effect of vehicle speed, rail roughness, guideway deflection, continuity of spans, each span length on dynamic response of the UTM-01 maglev vehicle are investigated. From the numerical simulation, it is found that the gap between bogie and guideway does not increase greatly within design velocity of the vehicle. The response of vehicle are mostly affected by the guideway deflection rather than rail roughness. As a result of the present study, the runnability of maglev vehicle can be improved by reducing the maximum deflection of guideway and adopting the continuous girder systems.

The purpose of the present study is to examine the dynamic interaction characteristics between moving maglev vehicle and guideway bridge system. For this purpose, the dynamic governing equation of 2-dof maglev vehicle using optimal feedback control scheme of LQG was derived with or without consideration of the dynamic interaction between vehicle and guideway bridge system. From the parametric study, it was found that the dynamic interaction effect between bridge and vehicle was large in case of neglecting the railway roughness effect. But if the railway roughness effect was considered, it was observed two analysis results with or without consideration of the dynamic interaction did not show big difference. As a conclusion, it is required to take into account the dynamic interaction effect of bridge and maglev vehicle and the railway roughness for precise evaluation of runnability of maglev vehicle and impact factor of guideway.
