Although adjusting the AC current magnitude of lower and upper primary windings in ADSLIMs allows simultaneous control of thrust and lift forces, the limitation of this current balancing technique prohibits them from producing a high lift force while operating with low thrust force. To overcome this limitation and to simultaneously control the thrust and lift forces of the ADSLIMs with high efficiency under different operating conditions, a combination of AC and DC modes of operation is proposed. AC mode of operation consists of feeding different AC current amplitudes to the upper and lower ADSLIM primary windings to produce and control the required thrust and lift forces. The DC mode of operation consists of controlling one or several ADSLIMs to operate with DC excitation to realize the desired lift force at lower thrusts which otherwise cannot be achieved by operating in AC mode alone. The concept of the new combined control strategy is studied using two-dimensional finite element (FE) electromagnetic simulations and compared with an Inductrack permanent magnet (PM) based passive magnetic levitation system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/machines10020131","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,13]],"date-time":"2022-02-13T21:08:43Z","timestamp":1644786523000},"page":"131","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Combined Propulsion and Levitation Control for Maglev\/Hyperloop Systems Utilizing Asymmetric Double-Sided Linear Induction Motors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Vladimir","family":"Kuptsov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical and Biomedical Engineering Department, University of Nevada, Reno, NV 89557, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2812-5994","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Poria","family":"Fajri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical and Biomedical Engineering Department, University of Nevada, Reno, NV 89557, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1430-3654","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Md.","family":"Rasheduzzaman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Engineering and Technology, Southeast Missouri State University, Cape Girardeau, MO 63701, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6999-5286","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salvador","family":"Magdaleno-Adame","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electromagnetic and Magnetic Consultant, Salvador Consultant, Norwalk, CT 06850, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Konstantin","family":"Hadziristic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IT Network Systems Consultant, TTLIM Development Ltd., Toronto, ON M3C 1M8, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4","DOI":"10.1109\/TTE.2015.2437338","article-title":"Making the Case for Electrified Transportation","volume":"1","author":"Bilgin","year":"2015","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
