AbstractThis paper presents magnetic flux density behaviour in laminated electrical sheets which affects the results and precision of iron losses calculation in imbedded permanent magnet (IPM) machine. Objective of the research was to analyse all the influential phenomena that were identified through iron loss models analysis, finite element method simulations and iron loss measurements. The presence of phenomena such as harmonic content and rotational magnetic fields are confirmed with finite element method analysis of concentrated and distributed winding IPM machine. A significant magnetic flux density ripple in the rotor of concentrated winding IPM machine in comparison to distributed winding IPM machine is revealed and analysed. Behaviour that affects iron loss in the rotor of synchronous machines in the absence of first order harmonic is analysed. The DC level added to alternating magnetic flux density was used in experiment to mimic magnetic behaviour on the rotor of IPM machine and further to calculate iron losses.

Power transformers play an indispensable component in AC transmission systems. If the operating condition of a power transformer can be accurately predicted before the equipment is operated, it will help transformer manufacturers to design optimized power transformers. In the optimal design of the power transformer, the design value of the magnetic flux density in the core is important, and it affects the efficiency, cost, and life cycle. Therefore, this paper uses the software of ANSYS Maxwell to solve the instantaneous magnetic flux density distribution, core loss distribution, and total iron loss of the iron core based on the finite element method in the time domain. . In addition, a new external excitation equation is proposed. The new external excitation equation can improve the accuracy of the simulation results and reduce the simulation time. Finally, the three-phase five-limb transformer is developed, and actually measures the local magnetic flux density and total core loss to verify the feasibility of the proposed finite element method of model and simulation parameters.

It is well known that the vector finite element method is one of the powerful tools for solving electromagnetic problems. The vector shape functions that are consist of the facet and the edge vector shape functions have a lot of characteristics. One of them is automatic conservation of the magnetic flux density in analyzing the Induction equations without iterative correction. In the present paper the vector finite element method is applied to the problems of magnetohydrodynamics. Three-dimensional natural convection in a cavity under a constant magnetic field is analyzed numerically using the GSMAC finite element method for flow field and temperature field and the vector finite element method for the Induction equations. The computational results are good agreement with those obtained using B method that is one of the iterative methods to satisfy the solenoidal condition for the magnetic flux density of the Induction equations.

The electromagnetic field of the active part of oil-immersed transformers 160kVA and 630kVA has been modelled in the present paper. Finite element method and ANSYS program have been employed for the field modelling. Based on the created model, the field distribution with values of the magnetic flux density has been obtained, as well as the Joule losses have been calculated. Two variants of the model - with and without tank are studied and compared.

Purpose Various iron loss models can be used for the simulation of electrical machines. In particular, the effect of rotating magnetic flux density at certain geometric locations in a machine is often neglected by conventional iron loss models. The purpose of this paper is to compare the adapted IEM loss model for rotational magnetization that is developed within the context of this work with other existing models in the framework of a finite element simulation of an exemplary induction machine. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, an adapted IEM loss model for rotational magnetization, developed within the context of the paper, is implemented in a finite element method simulation and used to calculate the iron losses of an exemplary induction machine. The resulting iron losses are compared with the iron losses simulated using three other already existing iron loss models that do not consider the effects of rotational flux densities. The used iron loss models are the modified Bertotti model, the IEM-5 parameter model and a dynamic core loss model. For the analysis, different operating points and different locations within the machine are examined, leading to the analysis of different shapes and amplitudes of the flux density curves. Findings The modified Bertotti model, the IEM-5 parameter model and the dynamic core loss model underestimate the hysteresis and excess losses in locations of rotational magnetizations and low-flux densities, while they overestimate the losses for rotational magnetization and high-flux densities. The error is reduced by the adapted IEM loss model for rotational magnetization. Furthermore, it is shown that the dynamic core loss model results in significant higher hysteresis losses for magnetizations with a high amount of harmonics. Originality/value The simulation results show that the adapted IEM loss model for rotational magnetization provides very similar results to existing iron loss models in the case of unidirectional magnetization. Furthermore, it is able to reproduce the effects of rotational flux densities on iron losses within a machine simulation.

This paper proposes an improved dynamic E&S vector hysteresis model to increase modeling accuracy especially for non-elliptic B-waveforms, and its implementation to finite element method. The major improvements of the suggested model are on the determination of the geometric parameters of a non-elliptic B-waveform, and the calculation of the magnetic reluctivity and hysteresis coefficients. The proposed model is combined with FEM and applied to the iron loss analysis of a three-phase transformer.

Purpose The magnetic characterization of electrical steel is typically examined by measurements under the condition of unidirectional sinusoidal flux density at different magnetization frequencies. A variety of iron loss models were developed and parametrized for these standardized unidirectional iron loss measurements. In the magnetic cross section of rotating electrical machines, the spatial magnetic flux density loci and with them the resulting iron losses vary significantly from these unidirectional cases. For a better recreation of the measured behavior extended iron loss models that consider the effects of rotational magnetization have to be developed and compared to the measured material behavior. The aim of this study is the adaptation, parametrization and validation of an iron loss model considering the spatial flux density loci is presented and validated with measurements of circular and elliptical magnetizations. Design/methodology/approach The proposed iron loss model allows the calculation and separation of the different iron loss components based on the measured iron loss for different spatial magnetization loci. The separation is performed in analogy to the conventional iron loss calculation approach designed for the recreation of the iron losses measured under unidirectional, one-dimensional measurements. The phenomenological behavior for rotating magnetization loci is considered by the formulation of the different iron loss components as a function of the maximum magnetic flux density Bm, axis ratio fAx, angle to the rolling direction (RD) θ and magnetization frequency f. Findings The proposed formulation for the calculation of rotating iron loss is able to recreate the complicated interdependencies between the different iron loss components and the respective spatial magnetic flux loci. The model can be easily implemented in the finite element analysis of rotating electrical machines, leading to good agreement between the theoretically expected behavior and the actual output of the iron loss calculation at different geometric locations in the magnetic cross section of rotating electrical machines. Originality/value Based on conventional one-dimensional iron loss separation approaches and previously performed extensions for rotational magnetization, the terms for the consideration of vectorial unidirectional, elliptical and circular flux density loci are adjusted and compared to the performed rotational measurement. The presented approach for the mathematical formulation of the iron loss model also allows the parametrization of the different iron loss components by unidirectional measurements performed in different directions to the RD on conventional one-dimensional measurement topologies such as the Epstein frames and single sheet testers.
