Abstract
The paper presents a fully automated procedure to optimize the perform ance of the on-board generator used in electromagnetic Maglev trains. The procedure utilizes FEM analyses to determine the mathematical mode l of the generator and then calculates the generator output characteri stics by means of step-by-step numerical simulations. On the basis of these characteristics, a suitable objective function is defined. The f unction is minimized, iteratively changing the geometrical configurati on until a stop criterion is satisfied.
