Question:

Electromagnetic suspension systems for air cushioned trains are known as magnetic levitation (maglev) trains. One maglev train uses a superconducting magnet system. It uses superconducting coils, and the levitation distance x(t) is inherently unstable. The model of the levitation is

where V(s) is the coil voltage; Ƭ1 is the magnet time constant; and ω1 is the natural frequency. The system uses a position sensor with a negligible time constant. A train traveling at 250 km/hr would have Ƭ1 = 0.75 s and ω1 = 75 rad > s. Determine a controller in a unity feedback system that can maintain steady, accurate levitation when disturbances occur along the railway.
