Linear induction motor (LIM) drive suffers heavily from low efficiency due to its large air-gap length, the end-effects, and the partial load working conditions. Therefore, an optimization method is proposed in this paper to improve the LIM drive operating efficiency from both design and control levels. First, the genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to design optimization of LIM to attain higher efficiency...
Single-sided linear induction motors (SLIMs) have lately been applied in transportation system traction drives, particularly in the intermediate speed range. This is because they have merits, such as the ability to exert thrust on the secondary without mechanical contact, high acceleration or deceleration, less wheel wear, small turning circle radius, and flexible road line. The theory of operation...
The derivation of the equivalent circuit for a single-sided linear induction motor (SLIM) is not straightforward. Especially if it includes longitudinal end effects from the cut-open primary magnetic path, transverse edge effects from the differing widths between the primary lamination and secondary sheet, and half filled primary slots. This paper proposes an improved series equivalent circuit for...
Based on magnetic circuit complex power method, through analyzing linear induction motor two dimensional magnetic flux density equations, this paper achieves T model equivalent circuit considering end effects, primary half filled slots, yoke magnetic saturation and back iron resistance. The method uses four coefficients to describe influence on mutual inductance and secondary resistance brought by...
Winding function method is adopted in this paper basing on air-gap magnetic flux density equations, and a new equivalent circuit is presented so as to analyze single linear induction motor (SLIM) applied in linear metro. Steady and dynamic performances of SLIM can be predicted by this circuit considering end effects, half filled slots, saturated iron and skin effect. To begin with, dynamic situation...
