3-D magnetic equivalent circuit framework for modeling electromechanical devices / Amrhein, M. in IEEE transactions on energy conversion, Vol. 24 N° 2 (Juin 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in IEEE transactions on energy conversion > Vol. 24 N° 2 (Juin 2009) . - pp. 397 - 405 Titre : 3-D magnetic equivalent circuit framework for modeling electromechanical devices Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Amrhein, M., Auteur ; Krein, P.T., Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 397 - 405 Note générale : energy conversion Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : CAD;  asynchronous  machines;  equivalent  circuits;  finite  element  analysis;  inductors;  lumped  parameter  networks;  magnetic  circuits Résumé : Magnetic equivalent circuits (MECs) are becoming an accepted alternative to electrical-equivalent lumped-parameter models and finite-element analysis (FEA) for simulating electromechanical devices. Their key advantages are moderate computational effort, reasonable accuracy, and flexibility in model size. MECs are easily extended into three dimensions. But despite the successful use of MEC as a modeling tool, a generalized 3-D formulation useable for a comprehensive computer-aided design tool has not yet emerged (unlike FEA, where general modeling tools are readily available). This paper discusses the framework of a 3-D MEC modeling approach, and presents the implementation of a variable-sized reluctance network distribution based on 3-D elements. Force calculation and modeling of moving objects are considered. Two experimental case studies, a soft-ferrite inductor and an induction machine, show promising results when compared to measurements and simulations of lumped parameter and FEA models.

Force calculation in 3-D magnetic equivalent circuit networks with a maxwell stress tensor / Amrhein, M. in IEEE transactions on energy conversion, Vol. 24 N° 3 (Septembre 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in IEEE transactions on energy conversion > Vol. 24 N° 3 (Septembre 2009) . - pp. 587 - 593 Titre : Force calculation in 3-D magnetic equivalent circuit networks with a maxwell stress tensor Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Amrhein, M., Auteur ; Krein, P.T., Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 587 - 593 Note générale : Energy Conversion Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Finite  element  analysis--Magnetic  circuits Résumé : Magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC) models are increasingly valuable for analysis and design of electromechanical devices, particularly electrical machines, because of their moderate computational effort and reasonable accuracy. Force and torque calculations in prior MEC implementations are almost exclusively based on the virtual work method (VWM) adapted to the specific device model. But VWM does not easily extend to a general MEC modeling approach. In this paper, the more direct Maxwell stress tensor (MST) method is applied to a general 3-D MEC modeling framework. MST theory and implementation are presented. Its application is discussed with the example of an electromagnet. Results are compared to both measurements and analytical and finite-element models.

Induction machine modeling approach based on 3-D magnetic equivalent circuit framework / Amrhein, M. in IEEE transactions on energy conversion, Vol. 25 N° 2 (Juin 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in IEEE transactions on energy conversion > Vol. 25 N° 2 (Juin 2010) . - pp. 339 - 347 Titre : Induction machine modeling approach based on 3-D magnetic equivalent circuit framework Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Amrhein, M., Auteur ; Krein, P.T., Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 339 - 347 Note générale : energy conversion Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : asynchronous  machines;  electric  machine  CAD;  equivalent  circuits Résumé : Developments in power electronics technology, materials, and changing application requirements are driving advances in electric machines. Limitations of standard motor design, particularly for induction machines, restrict performance capabilities in drive applications. Current computer-aided design tools are inadequate to overcome these limitations. Lumped-parameter and finite-element models have limited accuracy and heavy computational effort, respectively. Magnetic equivalent circuits (MEC) avoid these limitations. This paper presents an induction machine MEC model geared toward design and based on a 3-D MEC framework introduced in previous work. A matrix formulation suitable for computation is described. Details of mesh generation for the MEC approach are provided. Force and performance estimation are discussed. Simulations based on this approach are able to track dynamic effects, such as rotor slot torque ripple contributions. Comparisons are made to a 500 W purpose-built machine. Results from lumped-parameter and finite-element models and measurements indicate that MECs, corrected for local saturation, are a promising option for design tools.
