Electrodynamic levitation systems (EDS), which may find application in magnetic railways, despite their many advantages generate magnetic braking forces. Although the value of these forces decreases with increasing velocity, they account for a significant portion of high-speed magnetic rail energy demand . This work is concerned with the analysis of the power consumption of EDS as a function of the fill factor in the Halbach arrays made of permanent magnet package.
