System-level efficiency optimization of a linear induction motor drive system

Linear induction motors are superior to rotary induction motors in direct drive systems because they can generate direct forward thrust force independent of mechanical transmission. However, due to the large air gap and cut-open magnetic circuit, their efficiency and power factor are quite low, whic...
