This paper will provide an optimal pole arrangement design scheme of a linear switched-reluctance machine that is applicable for magnetic levitated vehicle (MAGLEV) system. The proposed low-cost machine structure will be able to supply both the levitation and the propulsion forces simultaneously.Minimum torque generation and smooth switch operation in the entire operation range have been selected as the design objectives subjected to the available machine bogie and electromagnet sizes. Comparison studies on the system electromagnetic and electromechanical characteristics will be provided to verify the adequacy of the proposed design scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
