Abstract

The paper discusses optimal stabilization problem for the MagLev transport platform. The platform has a specific levitation system with four combined suspensions which include both electromagnets and permanent magnets. The presence of permanent magnets makes the problem nonlinear and incompletely controllable and causes the main challenge for this paper. In order to address it, we propose to optimize the controller with respect to the bunch of possible trajectories taking into account the mentioned nonlinearities. The controller has a dynamical structure and includes a Kalman filter with feedback on the platform gaps and electromagnet coil currents. The introduced approach allows operating in real-time even when platform parameters and mass change and in the presence of noise and disturbances. Optimization of stabilizing controller improves both energy costs and control accuracy.
