The flyback converter, which can be regarded as a nonlinear time-varying system, has complex dynamics and nonlinear behaviors. These phenomena can affect the stability of the converter. To simplify the modeling process and retain the information of the output capacitor branch, a special sampled-data model of a peak current-mode (PCM) controlled flyback converter is established in this paper. Based on this, its dynamic behaviors are analyzed, which provides guidance for designing the circuit parameters of the converter. With the critical stability boundary equation derived by a Jacobian matrix, the stable operation range with a varied output capacitor, proportional coefficient of error the amplifier, input voltage, reference voltage and slope of the compensation ramp of a PCM controlled flyback converter are investigated in detail. Research results show that the duty ratio should be less than 0.5 for a PCM controlled flyback converter without ramp compensation to operate in a stable state. The stability regions in the parameter space between the output capacitor and the proportional coefficient of the error amplifier are enlarged by increasing the input voltage or by decreasing the reference voltage. Furthermore, the ramp compensation also can extend to the stable region. Finally, time-domain simulations and experimental results are presented to verify the theoretical analysis results.

The levitation magnets for the UTM-01(Urban Transit Maglev) take up a substential portion of the vehicle weight and vehicle cost. It is thus very important to reduce the weight of magnets by improving their performance and also reduce the cost of making them. A very extensive study was conducted to achieve above goals. Shape of the magnet core was varied and various core materials were tested. Also tested was the anodized sheet coil to replace the currently used rectangular shape Al coil. The study so far has improved the performance of the magnet substantially. The levitation force-to-magnet weight ratio has been improved from 6.8 to 9.2 as a result. This improvement reduced to magnet weight of the UTM-01 test vehicle by 900 kg.

반경이 작은 곡선이 종종 존재하는 도시 내에서 운행되는 도시형자기부상열차는 전자석과 레일 사이에 기계적 접촉 없이 곡선주행을 할 수 있어야 한다. 특히, 안내제어가 없는 자기부상열차에 있어서는 승차감을 확보하면서 곡선추종성능을 향상시키기 위하여 차간 댐퍼의 설치가 고려된다. 자기부상 차량용 차간 댐퍼는 곡선 진출입시 차량에 발생하는 요(Yaw) 방향의 진동을 최소화할 수 있어야 함과 동시에, 부상 전자석이 레일과 접촉이 없도록 해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 곡선주행에서의 차간 댐퍼의 승차감과 곡선추종성에의 영향을 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 부상제어, 차량, 대차 및 궤도가 포함된 동역학 모델을 이용한 동특성 시뮬레이션이 수행된다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 차간 댐퍼의 효과가 분석되고 시험 선로에서의 주행시험을 실시하여 해석 결과의 신뢰성에 대한 검증이 이루어졌다.

A novel hybrid carrier-based pulse width modulation (CBPWM) scheme that combines unipolar and dipolar modulations is proposed for single-phase three-level rectifiers, which are widely applied in railway traction drive systems. The proposed CBPWM method can satisfy the volt-second balancing principle in the complete modulation index region through overmodulation compensation. The modulation scheme features two modulation modes: unipolar and dipolar. The operation range limits of these modulation modes can be modified by changing the separation coefficient. In comparison with the traditional unipolar CBPWM, the proposed hybrid CBPWM scheme can provide advantageous features, such as lower high-order harmonic distortion of the line current and better utilization of switching frequency. The separation coefficient value is optimized to achieve the maximum utilization of these advantages. The experimental results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed hybrid CBPWM scheme.

자기부상열차는 전자기력으로 차량을 부상, 추진하는 시스템으로써 친환경적이고 주행성능이 우수해 장래의 대중교통수단으로 각광받고 있다. 국내에서도 1989년 이후 자기부상열차와 그 시설물에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있으며 2012년 인천에 도시형 자기부상열차가 실용화될 예정이다. 도시형자기부상열차가 실용화되기 위해서는 자기부상 전용 가이드웨이의 성능이 확보되어야한다. 또한 자기부상열차는 나라마다 차량형식이 달라 국내 실정에 맞는 적절한 설계기준이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 도시형자기부상 실용화 사업에서 제안된 자기부상 가이드웨이를 대상으로 유한요소해석을 수행하여 도시형 자기부상 가이드웨이의 단면성능을 평가하고 충격계수를 산출하였다. 해석수행 결과 동적증폭효과는 크지 않은 것으로 나타났으며 이를 통해 향후 자기부상 전용 가이드웨이 충격계수 설계기준 정립에 필요한 자료가 될 것이라고 기대된다.

A magnetically levitated vehicle (Maglev) system is under commercialization as a new transportation system in Korea. The Maglev is operated by an unmanned automatic control system. Therefore, the plan of train operation should be carefully established and validated in advance. In general, when making a train operation plan, statistically predicted traffic data is used. However, a traffic wave often occurs in real train service, and demand-driven simulation technology is required to review a train operation plan and service quality considering traffic waves. We propose a method and model to simulate Maglev operation considering continuous demand changes. For this purpose, we employed a discrete event model that is suitable for modeling the behavior of railway passenger transportation. We modeled the system hierarchically using discrete event system specification (DEVS) formalism. In addition, through implementation and an experiment using the DEVSim++ simulation environment, we tested the feasibility of the proposed model. Our experimental results also verified that our demand-driven simulation technology can be used for a priori review of train operation plans and strategies.

The performance of magnetic levitation controller is affected from not only levitation control algorithm but also the interaction between compositing system, so it is important to design maglev system considering the character of magnetic levitation controller in order to get the required performance of Maglev. The factors affecting the levitation controller of maglev are the dynamics of levitation magnet, the carrying weight of the overall system, the normal force and lateral force of traction motor and rail condition. In this paper the interaction between magnet and vehicle weight is analysed on side of stability of levitation controller in order to get the required performance of levitation controller.

Track irregularities of high-speed Maglev lines have significant influence on ride comfort. Their adjustment is of key importance in the daily maintenance of these lines. In this study, an adjustment method is proposed and track irregularities analysis is performed. This study considers two modules: an inspection module and a vehicle-guideway coupling vibration analysis module. In the inspection module, an inertial reference method is employed for field-measurements of the Shanghai high-speed Maglev demonstration line. Then, a partial filtering, integration method, resampling method, and designed elliptic filter are employed to analyze the detection data, which reveals the required track irregularities. In the analysis module, a vehicle-guideway interaction model and an electromagnetic interaction model were developed. The influence of the measured line irregularities is considered for the calculations of the electromagnetic force. Numerical integration method was employed for the calculations. Based on the actual field detection results and analysis using the numerical model, a threshold analysis method is developed. Several irregularities modalities with different girder end's deviations were considered in the simulations. The inspection results indicated that long-wavelength irregularities with larger girder end's deviations were the dominant irregularities. In addition, the threshold analysis of the girder end's deviation shows that irregularities that have a deviation amplitude larger than 6 mm and certain modalities (e.g., M- and N-shape) are unfavorable. These types of irregularities should be adjusted during the daily maintenance.

In recognition of the transportation problems of the present and to prepare for the ever increasing demands of the future, government decided to develop the magnetically levitated train domestically and started R&D program office in Korea Institute of Machinery and Metals(KIMM). This office since has established three step by step goals : first to develop a 40 passenger exhibition vehicle for Daejon EXPO'93, second to develop the low to mid-speed maglev system for urban public transportation by 1997 and finally the high speed inter-city maglev train by year 2001. The first two maglev systems will use attractive levitation-LIM driven technologies and these technologies are the ones currently being developed by this office and others. The maglev train system is a product of wide range of technologies from electro-technologies to civil engineering technologies. Some of the technologies are currently available but more have to be developed in the near future and these technologies are owned by or to be developed by various institutions within the science & technology community. The level of the technologies available at the present time are still very rudimentary and their basis are very narrow. Recently we have made a few successes in terms of levitation and propulsion but they are only with small scale modules and results are very qualitative at best. A great deal of development work has yet to be done to refine the technologies and to gain confidence. Full scale levitation/propulsion modules will be tested on the curved guideway within 6 months by this office and another institution. This paper reviews the current status of the maglev technologies in Korea and discuss the development strategies. The Korean maglev program is very ambitious and the schedule is even more so. A steady financial support and strong system engineering and integration are essential to the success of this program.

Interest in advanced vehicles results in correspondingly increased interest in modeling and simulation of the dynamic behavior of Maglev-type vehicle systems. DADS is a program especially suited for the analysis of multibody mechanical systems. This paper demonstrates the application of DADS to the dynamic modeling and simulation of such advanced vehicles. A brief description is made of the modeling requirements of magnetically levitated systems, along with a summary of some of the related capabilities of DADS. As a case study, an analysis of a vehicle based on the UTM01 system is presented. This paper shows that the presented modeling technique is applicable to the dynamic characteristics evaluation and control law design of Maglev- type vehicles.
