Stabilization of Maglev Plant Through Feedback Controller

Abstract

The MAGLEV plant found its application in various engineering fields namely high-speed trains, non-contact bearings, maglev wind turbine and many more. The Maglev plant shows non-linear behavior and is highly unstable in nature. The following work emphasis on how the Maglev plant can be stabilized and also on developing its mathematical model. Firstly, non-linear model is converted to a linear one through the use of Taylor’s series. After linearization, the state space model of the system is developed which further helps in making the Simulink model and then finally feedback controller is employed in order to control the system.
