Abstract

This paper investigates a linear generator (LIG) for application in high speed maglev train. Its configuration and working principle are introduced in detail. The mathematic models of magnetic field and induced voltage are established by the equivalent magnetic circuit method and the law of electromagnetic induction respectively, through which the characteristics of LIG and impact factors are analyzed preliminarily. An analytical and numerical method is proposed to analyze the characteristics of LIG further, in which the finite element model is applied to calculate the magnetic field accurately and the analytical model is used for the induced voltage calculation in a discrete way. The relationships of induced voltage amplitude and speed, induced voltage frequency and speed are clarified, providing the basis for the design of power supply system on vehicle. Finally, the experiments for the magnetic field and induced voltage are carried out on the performance test bench of magnet and real vehicle respectively to validate the analysis results.
