The objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of the spiral coil shape of inductive coupled power transfer on its performance. The coil shapes evaluated are: circular, square and pentagon spiral shapes. The coils are modelled in Ansoft Maxwell software. Simulations are carried out to determine the mutual inductance, coupling coefficient and magnetic flux density. The performance in term of magnetic flux density, mutual inductance and coupling coefficient of the three coils shapes are compared. Of the three shapes, the pentagon is shown to have the best performance in term of its mutual inductance, coupling coefficient and magnetic flux density.

As an auxiliary function of the wireless power transfer (WPT) system, coil positioning can solve the power and efficiency degradation during power transmission caused by misalignment of the magnetic coupler. In this paper, a Hall sensor array is used to measure the change of magnetic flux density. By comparing the multisensor data fusion results with the preset data obtained from the coil alignment, the real-time accurate positioning of the receiving coil can be realized. Firstly, the positioning model of the receiving coil is built and the variation of magnetic flux density with the coil misalignment is analyzed. Secondly, the arrangement of the Planar 8-direction symmetric sensor array and the positioning algorithm based on data fusion of magnetic flux density variations are proposed. In order to avoid coil positioning misalignment caused by the unstable magnetic field distribution which is actually affected by the change of mutual inductance during automatic guided vehicle (AGV) alignment, the constant current strategy of primary and secondary sides is proposed. Finally, the coil positioning experimental platform is built. The experimental results show that the coil positioning method proposed in this paper has high accuracy, and the positioning error is within 4 cm.

In this article, we present a numerical model of a magnetic abrasive finishing station, which was analyzed using the finite element method (FEM). The obtained results were compared with the real values measured on an experimental station of our own design. The prepared station had the option of adjusting the magnetic flux density inside the machining gap, the width of which could be changed from 10 to 30 mm. The maximum value of the magnetic flux density inside the air gap was 0.8 T. The real distribution of magnetic flux density in the finishing area was also analyzed. A design of experiment was carried out with the following variables: abrasive grain concentration, width of the machining gap, and process duration. The results are presented in the form of regression equations and characteristics for selected roughness parameters.

This paper proposes a coil design method for the magnetically coupled resonant wireless power transfer (MCR-WPT) system. Based on the Biot–Savart law, the magnetic flux density at the observation point was derived, and the magnetic flux of the observation plane generated by the exciting coil was deduced to build the calculation model of power transfer efficiency (PTE) and power delivered to the load (PDL). The PTE and PDL curves via coil parameters could be fitted in minutes using numerical calculation. The coil was designed according to transmission objectives and dimension constraints. In addition, the calculated PTE and PDL were compared with those from finite element analysis to verify the credibility of the method. Finally, the actual curves of PTE and PDL were achieved, which showed a strong positive correlation with the corresponding curves from the calculation model. The relative average deviations of PDL curves were less than 6.11%. Meanwhile, coils designed with the numerical calculation could realize 309.80 W and 88.51%, which achieved the objectives under the constraints. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can realize a rapid and accurate coil design under constraints. It can also be applied to other coil structures or circuit topologies with strong universality.

In multi-pole permanent magnets (PMs) such a ring-type PMs, as multi-poles are magnetized in one segment, the ends of each pole are weakly magnetized, which is known as the dead zone. Thus, when analyzing characteristics of the motor with multi-pole PMs, accurate results can be obtained by considering the magnetization distribution. For this reason, this paper proposed an equivalent magnetic circuit (EMC) for external-rotor surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors (SPMSMs) considering the dead zone to analyze the effects of the dead zone on the characteristics of the motor. As the magnetization in the dead zone gradually decreases toward the end of the pole, the magnetization distribution is assumed to have a trapezoidal shape. To describe the magnetization distribution, each pole was divided into several elements, and the equivalent residual magnetic flux density was applied to the elements of the dead zone. Finally, the validity of the proposed EMC was verified by comparing the back electro-motive force and air-gap magnetic flux density obtained by the EMC, finite-element analysis, and test.

The article gives the review of criteria for the assessment of an electromagnetic situation near power lines. Settlement modeling has been executed and the actual data is characterizing a condition of the electric and magnetic field in the territory near power lines of 500 kV and 220 kV. The research of the impact of the power-frequency magnetic field from power lines in the apartments on the example of the building under construction located at distance of 60 m from the power line of 500 kV is reported. Values of the magnetic flux density at the borders of sanitary-protective zones of power lines were shown to meet Russian sanitary standards. At the same time outside this zone to the adjacent residential areas, there was fixed the excess in the performance of the magnetic flux density according to the standards recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). The measurement of the magnetic flux density on different floors of the building under construction has shown that the maxima, recognized at floors 4 and 5 (0.3 mT) are on the border of the range recommended by the WHO; in case of the recalculation of these values on a maximum load of the line an obvious excess of the indices recommended by the WHO is observed. Thus, the area of the residential development in modern conditions may actually be located in the strip residential areas with uncertain criteria of the safety assessment, respectively, the population living in such conditions, is a potential contingent for epidemiological surveys on the program of the international electromagnetic WHO project.
