Japan’s SCMaglev
MAGLEV TRAINS
The three major factors governing the
operation of Maglev trains are,
Magnetic Levitation.
Lateral guidance.
Propulsion.
Magnetic levitation and lateral
guidance are different in EMS and EDS
methods
Fig.7:Interation between Propulsion
Propulsion technology is same in both coils and onboard coils
EMS and EDS method. Propulsion by
Linear Synchronous Motor(LSM) or by
Linear Induction Motor(LIM)
EMS (ELECTROMAGNETIC SUSPENSION)
This system uses the attractive force between the
onboard magnet and track magnet to levitate
the vehicle.
Major components in this system are
Long stator(armature) coil
Support electromagnets
Lateral guidance electromagnets
LSM generator coil
External power and control systems aided by EMS unit of Transrapid Maglev
computers
The entire levitation process is controlled by highly
advanced computers using a large number of
sensors and electromagnets.
EMS(ELECTROMAGNETIC SUSPENSION)
Magnetic levitation is by the magnetic force
of attraction between opposing poles of the
electromagnets on the train and track.
Lateral guidance is done using like pole
electromagnets at the sides of train and rail.
Propulsion of train by the interaction
between LSM windings on the rail which is
supplied by an alternating electric current
and onboard electromagnet.
Speed of the train is decided by the
frequency of AC inputted. Section of Transrapid in Germany
EMS(ELECTROMAGNETIC SUSPENSION)
Because of this small gap, very precise control over gap is required while running at
very high speed which is a drawback of this system
As this technology is using high power electromagnets and high current, there is large
amount of energy loss due to heat.
ELECTRODYNAMIC SUSPENSION(EDS)
EDS method uses the high repulsive forces
between magnets to levitate the vehicle.
Major components of this system are,
Onboard superconducting magnets.
Ground coils including levitation coils and
propulsion coils.
Refrigeration system for SC magnet.
Onboard Rubber wheels.
Advanced control systems.
Superconducting coils installed in a close loop,
once initiates a current it flows indefinitely for a
long time. Section of Japanese SCMaglev
ELECTRODYNAMIC SUSPENSION(EDS)
Magnetic levitation is achieved by the repulsive magnetic interaction between
onboard superconducting magnets and “8” shaped ground coils installed on the
sidewalls of rail.
Lateral guidance is also taken care by these “8” shaped lateral ground coils.
Interaction between LG coils and Onboard LG coils and propulsion coils in maglev track
magnets
Propulsion coils installed on the two sidewalls of the rail will propel the train with
simultaneous attractive and repulsive forces between onboard magnet and
ground coils
ELECTRODYNAMIC SUSPENSION(EDS)
External power supply to the ground levitation coils
is not required.
At high speed sufficient magnetic field will induce in Superconducting armature and
the ground coils the levitate the train up to 10cm. stator ground coil
SUPERCONDUCTIVITY IN MAGLEV
Superconductivity is well implemented
in Maglev trains in Japan running with
EDS technology.
The conventional electromagnet is
replaced by high power
superconducting magnet.
Refrigeration unit consist of Liquid
Nitrogen and Liquid helium in
implemented along with onboard SC
magnet.
Onboard superconducting magnets
The magnetic field produced by SC with accessories
magnet is so strong.
Proper shielding is provided in the train
from the exposure of these strong
magnetic field
SUPERCONDUCTIVITY IN MAGLEV
Very heavy conventional electromagnets are required for producing very strong
magnetic field.
Superconducting magnets produces very strong magnetic field and they are
relatively lighter than conventional.
The average speed of the train is 431km/hr where as current commuters are having
highest speed of 150km/hrs.
Hyperloop
CONCLUSION
Invention of Superconductors in room temperature will be a breakthrough in the field
of science and engineering.
