In this paper, the problem of estimating the core losses for inductive components is addressed. A novel methodology is applied to estimate the core losses of an inductor in a DC-DC converter in the time-domain. The methodology addresses both the non-linearity and dynamic behavior of the core magnetic material and the non-uniformity of the field distribution for the device geometry. The methodology is natively implemented using the LTSpice simulation environment and can be used to include an accurate behavioral model of the magnetic devices in a more complex lumped circuit. The methodology is compared against classic estimation techniques such as Steinmetz Equation and the improved Generalized Steinmetz Equation. The validation is performed on a practical DC-DC Buck converter, which was utilized to experimentally verify the results derived by a model suitable to estimate the inductor losses. Both simulation and experimental test confirm the accuracy of the proposed methodology. Thus, the proposed technique can be flexibly used both for direct core loss estimation and the realization of a subsystem able to simulate the realistic behavior of an inductor within a more complex lumped circuit.

This paper presents a core losses and performance calculation with different type of steel materials in the core design for three-phase induction motor by using "ANSYS Maxwell" program in order to identify the core material that provides the most effective performance by iron losses reduction. The coefficients of core losses are calculated from the magnetization curve and core Loss curve based on the on steel material databases. Although the difficult to obtain because of the little of existing information. Results show the capability of the proposed Cobalt steel (Hiperco 50) to achieve the significant losses reduction in comparison to the Electrical Steel NGO–AK Steel’s M-19 and Low Carbon Steel-SAE1020.

In this paper, a conventional 12-pulse transformer unit (CTU) and an autotransformer 12-pulse transformer unit (ATU) are compared in the view of the RTCA DO-160 standard for aircraft applications. The design of the magnetic components is proposed via a coupled FEM-circuital analysis in the time domain for an 800 Hz/2 kW system. Input AC distortion, power factor, and output DC ripple are evaluated through simulations. An accurate power loss analysis is carried out, taking into account copper losses, magnetic losses, and power losses due to power switches. The reduction in the size and weight of the ATU with respect to the CTU solution is discussed, including the need for filtering systems and the standard requirements.

Frame Method

Fe-based amorphous strip (AM strip) is a core material for high-efficiency distribution transformers and contributes to saving energy loss in electricity distribution. The core loss and apparent power for 2605SA1 amorphous strips at power frequency are studied using the Epstein frame method. Longitudinal magnetic field annealing and the influence of measuring modes on test results are investigated in detail. Improved test efficiency and higher accuracy in test results for amorphous ribbons are demonstrated and it is found that the number of strips and the lap joint methods affect the test results greatly. The waveform of the secondary induction voltage becomes sinusoidal with the increase of strip number. The values of core loss and apparent power become stable once the total number of strips is larger than 20. The coefficient of eddy current loss (e) also affects the correction of testing core losses. The test results could be improved at a smaller value of e when the waveform of the secondary induction voltage becomes deformed from sinusoidal due to a lower number of strips (below 20). The measured results were found to be reproducible when the strip number of each layer was one or two. However, the core loss and the apparent power increased along with the increase in the number of strips in each layer. Moreover, demagnetisation showed no effects on the test results when using the Epstein frame method.

As a useful tool to detect protrusion buried in signals, kurtosis has a wide application in engineering, for example, in bearing fault diagnosis. Spectral kurtosis (SK) can further indicate the presence of a series of transients and their locations in the frequency domain. The factors influencing kurtosis values are first analyzed, leading to the conclusion that amplitude, not the frequency of signals, and noise make major contribution to kurtosis values. It is helpful to detect impulsive components if the components with big amplitude are removed from composite signals. Based on this cognition, an adaptive SK algorithm is proposed in this paper. The core steps of the proposed SK algorithm are to find maxima, add window around maxima, merge windows in the frequency domain, and then filter signals according to the merged window in the time domain. The parameters of the proposed SK algorithm are varying adaptively with signals. Some experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The dual-mode emission and multicolor outputs in the time domain from core-shell microcrystals are presented. The core-shell microcrystals, with NaYF4:Yb/Er as the core and NaYF4:Ce/Tb/Eu as the shell, were successfully fabricated by employing the hydrothermal method, which confines the activator ions into a separate region and minimizes the effect of surface quenching. The material is capable of both upconversion and downshifting emission, and their multicolor outputs in response to 980 nm near-infrared (NIR) excitation laser and 252 nm, and 395 nm ultraviolet (UV) excitation light have been investigated. Furthermore, the tunable color emissions by controlling the Tb3+- Eu3+ ratio in shells and the energy transfer of Ce3+→Tb3+→ Eu3+ were discussed in details. In addition, color tuning of core-shell-structured microrods from green to red region in the time domain could be obtained by setting suitable delay time. Due to downshifting multicolor outputs (time-resolved and pump-wavelength-induced downshifting) coupled with the upconversion mode, the core-shell microrods can be potentially applied to displays and high-level security.

Electron Energy Loss

Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) is a useful technique for chemical microanalysis in the electron microscope. In particular, medium resolution (˜leV) measurements of core losses involving ionization of the tightly bound inner shell electrons reveal fine structure which identify both the core atom and the neighboring chemical environment. The transition metals of the third period possess narrow partly filled d-bands which give rise to striking magnetic and electronic properties of technological importance.

Accuracy Of Results

The paper intends to study the core losses of non-oriented electrical steel laminations under high frequency voltage excitations. The measurement of core losses of the electrical steel laminations in Epstein Frame is implemented step by step from 50 Hz to 5000Hz. The accuracy of results evaluated from Expanded GSE method is compared with those tested by Epstein Frame. The core loss database for three different kinds of medium, medium-high and high quality electrical steel laminations (50CS350, 50CS470, 50CS600) is completed in the paper. Also, 85 test points of core loss data are established in the flux density ranging from 0.3T to 1.8T and in the power supply frequency ranging from 50Hz to 5000Hz. Maximum core loss value is close to 443W/kg. The tested core loss data and the Expanded GSE models are useful and may cover for the applications of large-scale wind-driven generators and general motors. They also enough provide designers with the accurate information to minimize the core losses of wind turbine generators.
