Simulation of wave propagation effects in machine windings

Simulation of wave propagation effects in machine windings Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to offer a simulation method for predicting the impedance of machine windings at higher frequencies. Design/methodology/approach – A transmission‐line model (TLM) is developed based on parameters calculated on the basis of electroquasistatic and magnetoquasistatic finite‐element (FE) model of the winding cross‐section. Findings – The FE formulations for the low‐ and high‐frequency limits give acceptable results for the respective frequency ranges. An eddy‐current formulation is only accurate on a broader region when the FE mesh is sufficiently fine to resolve the skin depth. Research limitations/implications – The paper is restricted to frequency‐domain simulations. Practical implications – The results of the paper improve the understanding of higher‐frequency parasitic effects in electrical drives with long windings. Originality/value – The paper shows the limitations of the FE methods used for determining the parameters of the TLMs and remedies to avoid these. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png COMPEL: The International Journal for Computation and Mathematics in Electrical and Electronic Engineering Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to offer a simulation method for predicting the impedance of machine windings at higher frequencies. Design/methodology/approach – A transmission‐line model (TLM) is developed based on parameters calculated on the basis of electroquasistatic and magnetoquasistatic finite‐element (FE) model of the winding cross‐section. Findings – The FE formulations for the low‐ and high‐frequency limits give acceptable results for the respective frequency ranges. An eddy‐current formulation is only accurate on a broader region when the FE mesh is sufficiently fine to resolve the skin depth. Research limitations/implications – The paper is restricted to frequency‐domain simulations. Practical implications – The results of the paper improve the understanding of higher‐frequency parasitic effects in electrical drives with long windings. Originality/value – The paper shows the limitations of the FE methods used for determining the parameters of the TLMs and remedies to avoid these.
