Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traction control technology for maglev trains, and in particular to a method for suppressing traction fluctuations in maglev trains. Background Technology

[0002] Maglev trains are driven by long stator linear motors (LSLSMs). The primary stator core and three-phase armature windings of the LSLSM are mounted along the track, while the secondary (excitation pole) electromagnets are mounted on a suspension frame below the train body. The traveling wave magnetic field generated by the primary stator three-phase armature windings couples with the DC magnetic field of the secondary electromagnets to generate traction, propelling the train. The mutual attraction between the primary stator core and the secondary electromagnets generates levitation force, suspending the train 8–12 mm above the track.

[0003] Because the excitation poles of a long-stator linear motor also function as electromagnets that generate levitation force, a nonlinear coupling relationship exists between traction force and levitation force. Adjusting one variable (potential) will affect the other. To achieve decoupled control of traction force and levitation force, minimizing the impact of stator current changes on train levitation force, the motor often employs an i-type... d In the rotor field-oriented control mode with i=0, the armature reaction is minimized, and the coupling between the two is also minimized. This can be achieved by adjusting the stator current i. q The excitation current of the excitation poles controls the traction force and levitation force respectively, thereby enabling independent control of the traction system and the levitation system.

[0004] However, during actual train operation, fluctuations in the levitation air gap can occur due to factors such as uneven track surfaces, load disturbances, or vertical external forces. To maintain a constant levitation air gap, the levitation control system dynamically adjusts the excitation current, ensuring the air gap remains stable near its rated position. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the levitation control system of a maglev train mainly consists of: a power supply, a levitation controller, levitation sensors (gap sensor, current sensor, acceleration sensor), a chopper, and levitation electromagnets. The electromagnetic attraction force and the levitation gap have an inverse square relationship. During operation, the levitation system adjusts the levitation force by regulating the electromagnet current (i.e., the excitation current of the long stator linear motor), thereby ensuring a constant levitation air gap. Due to the adjustment of the levitation controller, the air gap often changes little, while the excitation current changes significantly. Changes in the excitation current cause changes in the excitation flux linkage, which in turn affects the mutual inductance flux linkage between the stator winding and the excitation winding, inevitably leading to fluctuations in the traction force.

[0005] The invention patent (CN110071677A) obtains the average air gap length by detecting the air gap of each suspension control point of the maglev train, then establishes a suspension system model, and further estimates the mutual inductance flux between the stator winding and the excitation winding of the long stator linear motor, and then applies the mutual inductance flux parameters to the external speed loop and the internal current loop, thereby effectively suppressing the traction force fluctuation caused by the suspension system. However, due to the complexity of the suspension control system model, the mutual inductance flux estimated by the suspension system model may have a large error, and the fluctuation of the traction force cannot be effectively avoided. SUMMARY

[0006] To overcome the technical defects of the prior art that the suspension control system model is complex, the mutual inductance flux estimated by the suspension system model may have a large error, and the fluctuation of the traction force cannot be effectively avoided, the present application provides a maglev train traction force fluctuation suppression method.

Voltage After processing by the PWM module and inverter, it is used for real-time control of the long stator linear motor.

[0020] Due to factors such as the controller's calculation delay and the switching device's turn-on delay, the controller's voltage command may have a certain error compared to the voltage at the terminals of the long stator linear motor.

[0024] In motor control, the current in two-phase rotating coordinate system is also needed, and the Park transformation formula is used to convert the current i α , i β in two-phase static coordinate system into the current i d , i q in two-phase rotating coordinate system, and the Park transformation formula of current is:

[0025]

[0026] The extended back electromotive force item contains the flux linkage information. Since the rotor flux orientation control method with i d =0 is adopted, and since the leakage inductance of long-stator linear synchronous motor is large and the saliency effect is not obvious, the extended back electromotive force and the back electromotive force are slightly different in amplitude in dynamic process, but there is no difference between them in steady state, so the mutual flux linkage can be calculated according to the observed extended back electromotive force.

[0032]

[0033] In the formula, u αu β i α i β These values ​​are indirectly obtained through measurement transformation and serve as inputs to the extended back EMF observer. Since the extended back EMF term cannot be measured, the difference between the measured and estimated current values ​​is used, and then a PI controller is applied to represent the estimated extended back EMF value. The components of the extended back EMF in the two-phase stationary coordinate system are... and like Figure 4 As shown, and The calculation formula is:

[0041] Using i d =0 control mode, that is, let i d_ref When = 0, the reference value of traction force F ref The calculation formula is:

[0042] To suppress traction force fluctuations caused by changes in the excitation current of the suspension system, based on the estimated mutual inductance flux... Real-time calculation of q-axis current reference value i q_ref for:

[0043]

[0044] To improve the dynamic response speed of the traction system, a feedforward voltage compensation link is added, and the feedforward voltage is calculated by using the real-time estimated mutual inductance flux, and the calculation formula of the feedforward voltage u d_fwd and u q_fwd in the two-phase rotating coordinate system is as follows:

[0045]

[0046] The difference between the q-axis current reference value i q_ref and the q-axis feedback current i q is adjusted by PI, and then the q-axis feedforward voltage u q_fwd is added to obtain the given voltage u in the two-phase rotating coordinate system. The difference between the d-axis current reference value i d_ref and the d-axis feedback current i d is adjusted by PI, and then the d-axis feedforward voltage u d_fwd is added to obtain the given voltage u

[0047] The given voltage u in the two-phase rotating coordinate system is transformed by the position signal θ to obtain the given voltage u in the two-phase stationary coordinate system. The given voltage u is modulated by a PWM module to generate a wave, and the PWM modulation herein includes but is not limited to SPWM modulation, SVPWM modulation and SHEPWM modulation. The output modulated wave is used to control the inverter, thereby realizing the control of the long-stator linear motor and effectively suppressing the traction force fluctuation in the train running process.
