Performance Analysis of a Linear Motor with HTS Bulk Magnets for Driving a Prototype HTS Maglev Vehicle

A Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor Drive for HTS Maglev Transportation Systems

⎯A permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) for a high temperature superconducting (HTS) maglev system has been studied, including the motor structure, control strategy, and analysis techniques. Finite element analysis (FEA) of magnetic field is conducted to accurately calculate major motor parameters. Equivalent electrical circuit is used to predict the drive’s steady-state characteri...

Development of HTS Transformers and a 10 kVA HTS Transformer Prototype Design

⎯With the improvement of high temperature superconductor (HTS) practical performance, research and development concerning the applications of HTS transformers have been progressed actively worldwide. This paper provides a comprehensive summary on various HTS transformers, and studies the design of a single-phase 10 kVA (220V/24V) HTS transformer prototype to verify HTS for practical transformer...

Electromagnetic Performance Calculation of HTS Linear Induction Motor for Rail Systems

Optimization of an HTS Induction/Synchronous Motor According to Changing of HTS Tapes Critical Current by Analytical Hierarchy Process

This paper represents the performance of a squirrel-cage High Temperature Superconducting Induction/ Synchronous Motor (HTS-ISM) based on nonlinear electrical equivalent circuit. The structure of the HTS-ISM is the same as that of the squirrel-cage type induction machine, and the secondary windings are fabricated by the use of the HTS wires. It has already been shown that based on the experimen...
