Abstract: Previously, 36 TEAM benchmark problems have been established, used to verify the numerical calculation methods of electromagnetic fields. Among them, there is only one problem related to the magnetic field considering magnetic hysteresis, which is problem 32. The results of it are obtained by experimental measurement. In this paper, a same kind of benchmark problem is proposed, in which the field results are obtained by using analytical method. This benchmark problem can be used to verify both 2D and 3D numerical calculation methods. The analytical solving process of the problem is that H is obtained by using Ampere’s law, …then B is calculated based on the hysteresis model of the material, so that the field distribution results are formed. The required hysteresis model could be any kind, such as Preisach model, J–A model, etc. As long as the same kind of model is used both in the benchmark problem and in the numerical method, the numerical method can be verified through the proposed benchmark problem. Considering the form of J–A hysteresis model required by the benchmark problem does not exist, which is the field separation-based forward dynamic J–A model, it is derived based on the forward static J–A model.

Abstract: Active noise reduction system is widely used in production and life because of its good noise reduction effect in low frequency band, easy installation, high practicability and good economy. This paper focused on the compilation of active noise reduction algorithms and the overall system debugging, and explored the factors that affected the active noise reduction. In order to realize the software part of the active noise reduction system, the LMS adaptive filtering algorithm was written and non-linearity function and auxiliary machine learning algorithm was used. Then the hardware system was built for the overall joint debugging of software and hardware. …Combined with the practical application background of electrical equipment engineering, the influence of the angle, number of speakers and the distance from electrical equipment on the noise reduction effect were studied. The results showed the overall noise reduction in the experiment was about 6 dB, which proved that the active noise reduction system proposed in this paper is effective. Show more

Abstract: A large number of experimental observations show that under two-dimensional (2-D) rotational magnetization, there is a complicated relationship between the magnetostrictive strain and magnetic flux density. In this paper, the magnetostrictive characteristics in a non-oriented electrical steel sheet under 2-D magnetization are measured and modelled based on the experimental system developed by the laboratory. The in-plane magnetostrictive strain tensor under the 2-D magnetization is expressed as nonlinear superposition of dynamic magnetostrictive strain in the rolling direction (RD) and transverse direction (TD), respectively. The magnetostriction’s first derivative with respect to magnetization depicts the pinning effect and the interaction among magnetic domains …which result in the hysteresis behaviour. And based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO), the model parameters are identified. The validity of the proposed model is verified by comparing the calculation results with the experimental ones. Studies have shown that the magnetostrictive properties in an electrical steel sheet have strong hysteresis behaviour under the 2-D magnetization, and the model proposed here can well characterize these characteristics.

Abstract: HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) transmission equipment generally works under AC–DC hybrid excitation (with both DC-bias components and harmonics), increasing the loss of magnetic components and even causing local overheating. In order to study the influence of AC–DC hybrid excitation on the performance of magnetic materials, the loss properties of electrical silicon steel under AC–DC hybrid excitation are measured and modelled. This paper improves the iron loss model based on the Bertotti loss model by introducing a new term caused by DC bias. In addition, the improved loss model is combined with the transient loss model, and the iron loss …calculation is performed based on the results of the TEAM P21 extended model. The comparison between the calculated and measured loss shows that the improved loss model is more accurate than the traditional one. Show more

Abstract: Magnetic induction tomography (MIT) has been proposed as a novel, non-invasive, and non-contact technique for diagnosing brain injuries. The design of the hardware system of MIT is a challenging research area. In this study, we constructed a 16-coil MIT simulation model with an actual cranio-cerebral anatomical structure in COMSOL. We analysed the factors which influence the MIT signal by constructing different types of haemorrhagic stroke models. In addition, the safety of MIT devices was evaluated in detail using the specific absorption rate. The results show that the phase noise of the hardware data acquisition system should be less than 0.001° …for the detection of a small peripheral haemorrhage with 5 mL. The result of the specific absorption rate shows that the security of MIT equipment should not be overlooked, and we need to establish a trade-off between signal intensity and device security. This study can provide data to support additional improvements in the performance of hardware systems in the future. Show more

Abstract: Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has been widely used in industrial and household fields. This technology is of great significance in the field of motor drives. However, if the WPT technology is applied to the motor drive and control system, power and control signals need to be transmitted at the same time, which will cause the problem of mutual interference between signals of different frequencies, and will also increase the difficulty of frequency decomposition on the secondary side. To solve the above problems, a dual-frequency simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system using a tapped coil structure scheme is …proposed and the design principle of the tapped coil is given. Based on this scheme, a multi-frequency pulse width modulation (MFPWM) method is used to generate two components of different frequencies by the same inverter, which are automatically decoupled by the tapped coil, and finally transmitted to drive and control the motor. A closed-loop control strategy is used to solve the problem of precise motor speed control when the driving voltage of the wireless motor fluctuates. In the experiment, the motor speed increased from 1965 rpm to 2265 rpm, and the DC voltage corresponding to the set reference speed increased from 1.26 V to 2.30 V. The experimental results show that the scheme can control the BLDC motor speed stably and accurately. Show more

Abstract: Due to the large amount of finite element calculation resources, the calculation stability is low. In order to obtain accurate torque data conveniently, a new torque modeling method is proposed in this paper. By establishing the minimum torque model, the finite element software is used to obtain elementary torque map, and the torque within the whole rotor motion range is built by polynomial fitting, and then the position torque in the process of rotor motion under different currents is obtained by multiple linear interpolation method, and converted to the global coordinate system by projection. The multicoil torque is superimposed and …corrected by using the dynamic error coefficient to obtain the final synthetic torque. Finally, the effectiveness of the modeling method is verified by simulation and experiments. The results show that this method not only ensures the modeling accuracy, but also speeds up the calculation. Show more

Abstract: To improve the braking force of the Linear Permanent Magnet Eddy Current Brakes (LPMECB) under a large Air Gap (AG) length, this paper presents a novel structure of the LPMECB, named H-type Linear Permanent Magnet Eddy Current Brake (H-type LPMECB). To begin with, the analytical model of the LPMECB is established by using the equivalent magnetic circuit method, and it is found that the AG reluctance is greater than that of the other parts of the LPMECB. Based on this, a novel H-type LPMECB is proposed in order to compensate the influence of the AG. The H-type LPMECB adds Iron …Foils (IFs) in the AG. These IFs are rectangular sheets made of pure iron. Furthermore, the finite element model of the H-type LPMECB is established to optimize the geometry parameter of the IFs, then the braking performance of the H-type LPMECB is measured. The simulations show that the optimal geometry parameter of the IFs of the H-type LPMECB is 0.25 ∗ L , and the braking performance of the H-type LPMECB is superior to that of the LPMECB, around three times. Finally, experiments were conducted, which validated the simulations. Show more
