A time domain electromagnetic model that includes the effect of moving conductors for the dynamic analysis of Linear Synchronous Machines (LSM) is presented. The upwind method is used to suppress the solution oscillation arising from the moving conductors. The moving mesh generation technique is developed for the FEM computation. In the proposed model the magnetic forces are computed based on the method of virtual work. The operation performances of LSM in some specific cases are also reported.
