“…Owing to its higher force density, higher efficiency and higher power factor, this motor has been the most preferred motor for maglev applications [35][36][37][38][39]. Researchers have suggested many topological modifications to enhance these features and to reduce the construction cost of the motor [33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. The LSM with stator coils forming the track is generally preferred for maglev systems [37][38][39].…”

“…This helps in maintaining the air gap constant, which further helps in maintaining the ride comfort. Other than this, signals given by the accelerometers and position sensors control the excitation of the linear motor [38]. This further controls the speed, acceleration, deceleration and braking of the vehicle.…”

Consistently rising environmental concerns and depleting petroleum resources have accentuated the need of sustainable, energy efficient and clean means of transport. This has provided the impetus to the research and development of clean alternatives for existing public transportation systems. Development of linear motor-propelled, contact-less maglev systems is considered a promising alternative to conventional on-wheel rail transport technology. Maglev technology primarily focuses on improving the performance, speed, fuel economy, driving range and operating cost of the transit system. These parameters vary with the design and efficiency of the electrical system used in maglev-based transportation systems. To present this study, firstly, a detailed survey of the important constituents of a maglev electrical system has been carried out with techno-economic perspectives. Contemporary maglev technologies have then explored along with their respective advantages and limitations. Electrical systems form the heart of maglev systems and, therefore, this paper presents the components of a standard electrical system together with the comparative analysis in terms of present trends, ongoing technological advancements and future challenges.
