Owing to the temperature-dependent magnetic properties, steel sheets undergo a dynamic process of eddy current and temperature variation. Accurate modeling is important for the effective control of the heating process. In this study, magnetic-thermal coupled analysis is employed to examine the temperature distribution in steel sheets and the consequential impact of edge effects. The research accou...Show More
This article presents a method to synthesize the equivalent circuit of an induction heating (IH) machine used in the hot strip mill (HSM) process. The equivalent circuit not only allows to evaluate eddy current losses in different forms, such as iron plate and coils, but also compute the transient responses in online environments. The frequency characteristic of the IH machine is effectively compu...Show More
The Cauer-equivalent circuit of electric apparatus is synthesized by applying the model order reduction to the finite-element equations. In this method, the admittance function of a given electric apparatus is expressed by a rational polynomial from which the Cauer-equivalent circuit is directly synthesized. Magnetic saturation in the magnetic core is considered by introducing nonlinearity in the ...Show More
The Cauer-equivalent circuit of electric apparatuses is synthesized by applying the model order reduction (MOR) to their FE equations. The equivalent circuit is synthesized directly from the rational polynomial expression of the admittance function of an electric apparatus. Nonlinearity in the magnetic core of the electric apparatus can be modeled by the synthesized equivalent circuit, which is sh...Show More
This paper proposes a model order reduction (MOR) based on the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) to perform a fast analysis of motors. When a POD-based MOR is applied to the motor analysis, the number of basis vectors has to be increased to express the changes in the magnetic fields due to a rotational movement. Its computational efficiency is, thus, greatly deteriorated. To overcome this diff...Show More
This paper presents the generation of equivalent circuits from a finite-element (FE) model of electromagnetic devices using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). This method effectively computes the frequency response of the reduced FE model constructed by the POD-based model order reduction. Then, the circuit parameters are determined so as to minimize the error between the frequency responses o...Show More
