Abstract

Recently, an interest in a hybrid system combining only the merits of the conventional wheel-rail system and Maglev propulsion system is growing as an alternative to high-speed maglev train. This hybrid-type system is based on wheel-rail method, but it enables to overcome the speed limitation by adhesion because it is operated by a non-contact method using a linear motor as a propulsion system and reduce the overall construction costs by its compatibility with the conventional railway systems. Therefore, a comparative analysis on electromagnetic characteristics according to the structural combinations on the stator-mover of Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM) for Very High Speed Train (VHST) maintaining the conventional wheel-rail method is conducted, and the structure of coreless superconducting LSM suitable for 600 km/h VHST is finally proposed in this paper.
