Outline of Final Research Achievements

In superconducting magnetic levitation (Maglev) systems, superconducting magnets are located on both sides of the vehicles and ground coils are attached to sidewalls of the guideway; the vehicles are levitated, guided, and propelled over the guideway by the electromagnetic force between them. Because a partial discharge (PD), which is a degradation symptom of insulating resin of the ground coils, emits wideband electromagnetic (EM) waves, a radio sensing system for locating the PD source by receiving the EM waves has been developed. In this study a radio interferometer system with a vector-antenna was developed. The experimental results showed the relationship between the PD current and the EM waves emitted from it. Partial discharges generated in a mock-up of propulsion coil could be detected from a test bogie running at the speed of 200km/h using the radio interferometer system with a vector-antenna.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

超電導磁気浮上式鉄道の地上コイルは,車両の推進,浮上,案内を実現するための設備であり,実運用では膨大な数の地上コイルが使用される。地上コイルには長期間の機械的,電気的,環境的負荷が複合的に加わることから,地上コイルの絶縁破壊事故を未然に防ぐために,絶縁劣化予兆現象(部分放電)の早期発見が必要となる。
本研究では超電導磁気浮上式鉄道の走行車両から地上コイル(推進コイル)の絶縁劣化の予兆現象である部分放電を検出するためのベクトル型電波干渉計システムを開発した。同システムを試験台車に搭載し,試験台車の時速200km走行中において部分放電を検出することができることを示した。
