| Abstract |
A superconducting (Se) magnetically levitated (Maglev) transportation system
has been developed in Japan and a new test line has been constructed at Yamanashi prefecture. Although the superconducting electrodynamic suspension (EDS) system has the
advantage of stable levitation without active control, various electromagnetic or mechanical disturbances can cause the change of gap length and the displacement or oscillation of the bogie. And the change of gap length causes the change of the thrust force of the drive
system (LSM). Therefore in this system, interaction between the drive and the levitation system is very large. We developed three dimensional numerical simulation program for the Maglev train. This program includes the drive, the levitation and the secondary suspension
system. Using this program, running simulation of the train for Yamanashi new
test track was undertaken. To show the interaction between the drive and the levitation system, running characteristics of the train passing a curved section and in the case of the se coil quenching, were calculated. |
