in this paper, a neural network model reference adaptive system speed observer is designed, which can be used in speed control of linear induction motors (lims). dynamical equations of lim have been considered accurate. in other words, the end effect and the electrical losses of the motor have been included in the motor equivalent circuit. then equations of the reference model and adaptive mode...

Recently, single linear induction motor(SLIM), which comes from rotary induction motor(RIM), has been widely applied in transportation systems, especially in intermediate speed arrange, because of its merits, such as ability to exert thrust on the secondary without mechanical contacts, high acceleration or deceleration, less wear of the wheels, smaller turn circle radius and more flexible road ...

A novel, improved equivalent circuit model of double-sided linear induction motors (DLIMs) is proposed, which takes the skin effect and nonzero leakage reactance secondary, longitudinal, transverse end effects into consideration. Firstly, traditional with longitudinal are briefly reviewed. Additionally, correction coefficients for derived by one-dimensional analysis models given. Secondly, fact...
