Abstract
This study introduces a novel methodology based on the idea of double Fourier series and coil segmentation, performed based on governing equations, with harmonic magnetic field analysis of a double-sided air-cored superconducting linear synchronous motor for electrodynamic suspension train. This method can solve the harmonic magnetic field generated by arbitrarily shaped coils. First, with rectangular-shaped coils and race-track-shaped coils as examples, the process of calculating harmonic magnetic field using the proposed method is introduced comprehensively, and the influence of the end effect is also considered. Second, based on the solution results of the harmonic magnetic field, a modeling method that can quickly solve no-load superconducting flux linkage, no-load back EMF, and three-dimensional (3-D) electromagnetic forces without losing accuracy is presented, which is verified by finite element simulation. Finally, two static tests are designed. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by the test results of static thrust and static normal force.
