Research on Siding Mode Controller of High-Speed Maglev Train Under Aerodynamic Load
Abstract The high-speed maglev train will be subjected to extremely obvious aerodynamic load during operation, it will also be subjected to instantaneous aerodynamic impact load in the case of passing, which will bring extreme challenges to the suspension stability and safe operation of the train. It is necessary to consider the influence of aerodynamic load and shock wave in the design of suspension control algorithm. Traditional proportion integration differentiation (PID) control cannot follow the change of vehicle parameters or external disturbance, which is easy to cause suspension fluctuation and instability. In order to improve the suspension stability and vibration suppression of high-speed maglev train under aerodynamic load and impact, a controller based on sliding mode technique is designed in this paper, and in this controller, the deformation of the primary suspension is introduced to replace the aerodynamic load on the electromagnet. In order to verify the control performance of the designed controller, the dynamic simulation model of train with three vehicles is established, and the dynamic response of the train under the condition of passing in open air is calculated. Compared with the PID controller, it is verified that the sliding mode control (SMC) method proposed in this paper can effectively restrain the electromagnet fluctuation of the train under aerodynamic load.
