ide track (Ahmadi et al., 2018). This makes precision in track construction critical and requires complex control systems. Therefore, this system is recommended for low to medium-speed applications (Holmer, 2003). The EMS train, when slowing down and approaching 10 km/h, is supported by braking skids. However, it can remain levitated while stationary. Hybrid System (HEMS) HEMS is a modified form of conventional EMS, as shown in Figure 2. It uses permanent magnets along with electromagnets to reduce electrical energy consumption and allows for larger air GAP’s (Chin and Soulard, 2003; Zhang et al., 2013). At the beginning of the movement, it uses both electromagnets and permanent magnets (PM) together to achieve levitation. After achieving a stable GAP, the PMs keep the vehicle levitated, canceling out the electromagnets. PMs generate a constant magnetic flux; therefore, adjusting the excitation of the electromagnet provides the necessary gap control (Chin and Soulard, 2003). Due to this situation, the use of a variable input source is required to excite the electromagnets (Zhang et al., 2013). This system is currently used by an experimental MagLev, the CMS04, designed by the National University of Defense Technology in Tangshan, China. The system requires low to medium speed to achieve stable levitation. Additionally, the use of hybrid magnets requires a sophisticated control system. However, this technology is under research for its robustness [...]
