Winding Function Theory Based Thrust Calculation on Nested-loop Secondary Linear Machine Adapted to Linear Metro

With advantages of strong drive capability,nested-loop secondary linear machine(NLS-LM)has great potentiality in linear metro.For its secondary structure with multiple loops,it is difficult to calculate the electromagnetic thrust of NLS-LM reasonably.Hence,in this paper,one thrust calculation method is proposed considering variable loop inductance and transient loop current.Firstly,to establish the secondary winding function,the modeling domain is confined to a limited range,and the equivalent loop span is employed by analyzing the coupling relationship between primary and secondary.Then,in order to obtain the secondary flux density,the transient secondary current is solved based on the loop impedance and induced voltage.Finally,the electromagnetic thrust can be calculated reasonably by the given primary current sheet and the calculated secondary flux density.Comprehensive simulations and experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Forward simulation of coal fire model by transient electromagnetic method with electrical source

Uncontrolled coal fires are natural disasters that may cause mineral loss and environmental damage.The traditional loop source transient electromagnetic method can effectively detect the low-resistivity region of coal fires,but its detection efficiency is not so good for high-resistivity regions.In view of this limitation,a technique based on electrical source transient electromagnetics is proposed in this paper to detect high-resistivity regions in the spontaneous combustion process of coal.Considering the complex geometry of the coal fire area,an unstructured tetrahedral grid is used in this study to realize the spatial discretization of the model,and solve the electromagnetic field based on a vector finite element algorithm.Numerical analysis is used to investigate methods for detecting coal fires and the characteristics of effective anomalies are further examined to provide guidance for practical detection.

Nested-loop secondary linear doubly-fed machine(NLS-LDFM) is a novel linear machine evolved from rotary brushless doubly-fed induction machine, which has a good application prospect in linear metro. In order to analyze the performance of NLS-LDFM, the mechanism and action rules of end effects are investigated in this paper. Firstly, the mechanism of static and dynamic end effects is analyzed in aspect of direct coupling, winding asymmetry and transient secondary current. Furthermore, based on the winding theory for short primary linear machines, the machine parameters are established qualitatively considering pulsating magnetic field of NLS-LDFM. Finally, the NLS-LDFM performance analysis is supplemented by the finite element algorithm(FEA) simulation and experiments under different operating conditions.

Novel Rotors with Low Eddy Current Loss for High Speed Permanent Magnet Machines

Due to the large rotor eddy current loss and low thermal conductivity of carbon fiber sleeve,the high temperature usually occurs in high speed permanent magnet machines(HSPMMs)at the rated operation condition,resulting in irreversible demagnetization of the permanent magnet(PM).To obtain low rotor temperature,two novel rotor structures with low rotor eddy current loss are proposed in this paper.With the output torque and air gap flux density unchanged,the performance of HSPMMs with the two proposed rotor structures are analyzed based on finite element algorithm(FEA),including eddy current loss and temperature.Finally,the appropriate parameters of the proposed rotor structures are selected,and the electromagnetic(EM)performance,rotor stress and temperature are compared with those of the conventional rotor structure.Index Terms-Eddy current loss,finite element algorithm(FEA),electromagnetic(EM)performance,high speed permanent magnet machines(HSPMMs).
