Sliding Mode Bifurcation Control Based on Acceleration Feedback Correction Adaptive Compensation for Maglev Train Suspension System With Time-Varying Disturbance

Abstract

In order to ensure the suspension stability of maglev train, the active control problems of static suspension and dynamic suspension are studied. First, the mathematical model of dynamic suspension characteristics of medium- and low-speed maglev train is established. Second, the PID controller is studied. The results show that the controller is very sensitive to time-varying disturbances such as nonuniformity and load, which leads to the decrease in system robustness. In order to suppress the disturbance effectively, a suspension control method based on the sliding mode reaching law is proposed. Based on the bifurcation phenomenon, the bifurcation point is solved to determine the main control parameters. On the basis of this, an acceleration feedback correction and adaptive control module based on the radial basis function (RBF) network is constructed to effectively suppress the vibration of the electromagnet. The controller consists of a sliding mode bifurcation control law, an acceleration feedback correction module, and an adaptive compensation loop. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed control algorithm can significantly reduce the variation range of suspension gap with a smoother control current in the presence of complex disturbances and significantly suppress the coupled vibration.
