Maglev Train Technological Advancement
Chaulkar Nikilesh Vaman TE-A (Electrical)
chaulkarnikilesh1910@gmail.com
Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a system of train transportation that uses two sets of electromagnets: one set to repel and push the train up off the track, and another set to move the elevated train ahead, taking advantage of the lack of friction. Such trains rise approximately 10 centimetres (4 in) off the track. There are both high-speed, intercity maglev systems (over 400 kilometres per hour or 250 miles per hour), and low-speed, urban maglev systems (80–200 kilometres per hour or 50–124 miles per hour) under development and being built. The Shanghai maglev train is the only maglev train in commercial operation that can be considered high-speed.
1.
Introduction
MAGLEV trains are supposed to be one of the
best candidates for next-generation transportation systems with the advantages
of high speed, environmental friendliness and low noise, which attract the interests
of many countries. The Maglev trains can be broadly classified into the types
of electromagnetic suspension systems (EMS) and electrodynamic suspension
systems (EDS). An EMS Maglev train utilizes the electromagnetic attractive
force to levitate the train body. Hence, the levitation system is the key
component of an EMS Maglev train to ensure stable and safe operations.
2. Super-conducting electromagnet
Superconductors are different from ordinary conductors, such as copper. Unlike regular conductors whose resistance gradually reduces, the superconductor’s resistance drops to zero below a fixed temperature, which is the critical temperature. At this temperature, a superconductor can conduct electricity with no resistance, which means no heat, sound, or other
Fig.
1 Superconductivity Graph
forms of energy would be discharged from
the material when it reaches the “critical temperature” (Tc). To become
superconductive, most materials must be in an incredibly low energy state (very
cold). Presently, excessive energy must be used in the cooling process, making
superconductors uneconomical and inefficient and the superconductivity graph shown in Fig 1.
2.1 Working Principle of Maglev
2.1.1 Propulsion
Maglev trains use electromagnetic propulsion to move forward. The principle of electromagnetic propulsion is based on the utilization of a flowing electrical current and magnetic fields. The electrical current is used to either create an opposing magnetic field or to charge a field, which can then be repelled. When a current flows through a conductor in a magnetic field, an electromagnetic force known as a Lorentz force pushes the conductor in a direction perpendicular to the conductor and the magnetic field. This repulsing force is what causes propulsion in a system designed to take advantage of the phenomenon.
2.1.2 Levitation
Maglev trains use magnetic levitation to
lift the train off the tracks and propel it forward. The levitation system in
maglev trains uses two sets of magnets: one set to repel the train from the
track, and another set to move the floating train along the guideway.
There are two types of magnetic levitation systems used in maglev trains: electromagnetic suspension (EMS) and electrodynamic suspension (EDS). EMS uses attractive magnetic forces between the train and the guideway to levitate the train above the track.
2.1.3 Guidance
The guidance system in maglev trains is one
of the important subsystems that help keep the train centred over the guideway.
The guidance system varies according to the different guideways and weather
conditions.
The active guidance of a high-speed maglev
train is achieved by the attraction between the guideway and the electromagnets
mounted on the side of the carriage. The working characteristics of the
guidance system vary according to the different guideways and weather
conditions. In a straight line, the guiding current is very small. When
suffering from a bend or big crosswind, the guiding current will be very large.

3.2 Ultra-Fast Connections Between Mobility Hubs (Hyperloop)
Hyperloop is an ultra-high-speed ground transportation system for
passengers and cargo proposed as a concept by Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and
SpaceX, a couple of years ago shown in Fig 3.

4. Future Scope – Startram
The proposed launch system, called Startram, doesn't use rockets or rocket fuel but instead is based on the concept of a mass driver. Also known as an electromagnetic catapult, a mass driver acts like a coil gun to magnetically accelerate a magnetized holder containing a payload shown in Fig 4.

5. Conclusion
Compared with conventional high-speed railway systems, the high-speed maglev train
takes full advantage of electromagnetic force to achieve active levitation and guidance
and drives the train by the linear motor. It completely abandons the wheel-rail relationship
and the relationship for the sake of non-friction.
