Hyperloop allows for improved transportation efficiency at higher speeds and a lower power consumption. Various magnetic levitation technologies in existing high-speed maglev trains are being considered to overcome speed limitations for the development of Hyperloop, which are driven inside vacuum tubes at 1,200 km/h; and superconducting (SC) electrodynamic suspension (EDS) can provide numerous advantages to Hyperloop. such as enabling stable levitation in high-speed driving without control, and increasing the levitation air gap. However, the analysis of the EDS system requires the electromagnetic transient analysis of complex three-dimensional (3D) features, and its computational load generally limits the use of numerical methods, such as the 3D finite element method (FEM) or dynamic circuit theory; This paper presents a novel model that can rapidly and accurately calculate the frequency-dependent equivalent inductance; and it can model the EDS system with the decoupled resistance-inductance (RL) equations of levitation coils. As a design example, the levitation coils of the SC-EDS were designed and analyzed for the Hyperloop, and the results were compared with those of the FEM results to validate the model. In addition, the model was experimentally validated by measuring currents induced by moving pods. |
