Core Loss Effects on Field Solutions

• Basic concept: the feedback of the core loss is taken into account by introducing an additional component of magnetic field H in core loss regions. This additional component is derived based on the instantaneous core loss in the time domain

Model Validation by Numerical Experiment

The effectiveness of the model can be validated by the power balance experiment from two test cases: considering core loss feedback and without considering core loss feedback. The increase of input electric power and/or input mechanical power between the two cases should match the computed core loss.

Advanced Capabilities Demagnetization Modeling

© 2011 ANSYS, Inc. June 18, 2012 27

Modeling Mechanism

• The worst demagnetization point

for each element is dynamically

determined from a full transient

process

• The demagnetization point is

source, position, speed and

temperature dependent

• Each element uses its own recoil

curve derived at the worst

demagnetization point in

subsequent transient simulation

Irreversible Demagnetization

If a demagnetizing point P goes below the knee point K, even after the load is reduced or totally removed, the subsequent working points will no longer along the original BH curve, but along the recoil line.

The animation shows how the demagnetization

permanently occurs with varying load current

• Two temperature dependent parameters: Remanent flux density Br and Intrinsic coercivity Hci

Temperature Dependent Model

• Work on intrinsic Bi-H, instead of B-H curve

B = Bi + μo H

where T0 is the reference temperature, and α1, α2, β1 and β2 are coefficients which are provided by vendors

© 2011 ANSYS, Inc. June 18, 2012 31

• Once a model at T0

is constructed, any Bi-H curves at other T can be recovered in terms of P(T), Q(T)

• B-H curve in the 2nd and 3rd quadrants can be further recovered by

B = Bi + μo H

Temperature Dependent Model

Copied from vendor datasheet

Derived from our implemented temperature dependent model

Benchmark Example

• 8-pole, 48-slot, 50 KW, 245 V, 3000 rpm Toyota Prius IPM motor with imbedded NdFeB magnet

• Two steps in 3D transient FEA:

1. Determine the worst operating point element by element during the entire transient process

2. Simulate an actual problem based on the element-based linearized model derived from the step 1

• To further consider the impact of temperature, element-based average loss density over one electrical cycle is used as the thermal load in subsequent thermal analysis

• The computed temperature distribution from thermal solver is further feedback to magnetic transient solver to consider temperature impact on the irreversible demagnetization

© 2011 ANSYS, Inc. June 18, 2012 33

Hc' change in one element during a transient process:

The 1st cycle (0 to 5ms) doesn’t consider temperature impact. The 2nd cycle (5 to 10ms) has considered the feedback from thermal solution based on the average loss over the 1st cycle

Observation: Hc' has dropped from 992,755 A/m to 875,459 A/m, which is derived from the worst operating condition

Contours of loss density distribution Static temperature distribution (K)

Torque profiles showing demagnetization and temperature dependence:

Torque profiles derived from without considering demagnetization, considering demagnetization but no temperature impact and considering demagnetization as well as temperatures dependence

Magnetization

• Compute magnetization based on the original non-remanent B-H curve

• Find operating point p from nonlinear solutions

• Construct line b at the operating point p, which is parallel to the line a at saturation point

• Br is the intersection of line b with B-axis

• Element by element

• Magnetostatic case: the

operating point used for computing

magnetization (Br) is from single

source point;

What is the Difference between Using Magnetostatic and Transient solver?

• Transient case: the

operating point used for

computing magnetization (Br)

is the maximum operating

point with the largest (B,H)

during the entire transient

simulation.

• Anisotropic magnetization: magnetization direction is determined by

the orientation of the magnet material and the direction is specified by a

user;

• Isotropic magnetization: magnetization direction is

determined by the orientation of

the magnetizing field and is

determined during the field

computation.

For isotropic magnetization, all three

components have to be set to zero
