Design and characteristic analysis of high-speed high temperature superconducting maglev train

A hybrid high temperature superconducting (HTS) linear synchronous propulsion system composed of a HTS linear synchronous motor (HTSLSM) in the middle and HTS magnetic suspension sub-systems on both sides has been proposed for a high-speed maglev train. Four carriages have been made up for the proposed maglev, and each carriage consists of four HTSLSM modules, which weight 45 tons. The maglev train has been designed to reach a speed of 1000 km/h. The finite element analysis has been used for the theoretical verification and character analysis. The obtained results show that the HTS linear propulsion system satisfies the principal requirements for the maglev.
