Magnetic levitation is an example of a nonlinear system that is naturally unstable. In the
control system field, it can be also used to check the effectiveness of control methods. Unlike …

In this article, the normal force acting on the primary of single-sided linear induction motors
(SLIMs) is analytically derived. Considering all phenomena involved, the effects of different …

In this article, a dual-vector located model predictive control (DL-MPC) method based on a
single dc-link current sensor is proposed for the permanent-magnet linear motor drive …

A novel eddy current speed sensor is developed to measure the rotational speed of
conductive objects. The sensor consists of one excitation coil and two pick-up coils around a …

Linear induction motors (LIMs) are positioned head-to-tail in medium and low-speed maglev
(MLSM) trains, and the interaction due to small spacing between two LIMs is not yet clear. In …

With the rising human population, travelling on static roads is insufficient to meet modern
mobility demands. The global economy loses hundreds of billions of dollars yearly due to …

Within variable air-gap linear motors, such as those used in maglev trains, levitation and
thrust forces are both realized through the common air-gap magnetic field, and thus they are …

The maglev yaw system (MYS) of wind turbine adopts the maglev‐driving technique instead
of the traditional gear‐driving technique, so it has the advantages of short downtime and low …

This paper develops a high-performance finite control set model predictive current control
(FCS-MPCC) method for induction motors (IM) to ensure the system control performance …

There are some special phenomena like longitudinal end effect, saturation effect, skin effect,
edge effect, and half-filled slots which make the single-sided linear induction motor (SSLIM) …
