This method enables the model to dynamically adjust and adapt to system changes. When transformer operating conditions change, new snapshot data is employed to update the original snapshot matrix, while the POD modes are updated by integrating matrix low-rank decomposition with the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) results of the original snapshot matrix—thus avoiding the need of SVD for the new snapshot matrix. By incorporating discrete measurement data from the winding temperature, the modal coefficients are solved in real-time based on Gappy POD, facilitating the construction of the dynamic ROM. The proposed method was validated using a simulation model of 110 kV transformer windings. The results demonstrates that the maximum error in updating the POD modes is only 3.60 × 10<sup>−6</sup>, with a single update requiring approximately 0.12s. Furthermore, the dynamic ROM reduces the maximum error by 1.78 K. Without considering the snapshot matrix formation time, the average computation time for each time step is about 0.02s.

Although deep learning methods have shown success with single-sensor data, their diagnostic performance remains limited due to the inability to capture complex, multimodal fault characteristics. To address this, we propose an attention-guided semi-supervised vibration-acoustic fusion (AG-SVAF) model, which combines vibration and acoustic signals to enhance diagnostic robustness under limited labelled data conditions. The model integrates time-frequency representations derived via short-time Fourier transform (STFT) with a multilevel attention mechanism—including channel, spatial and self-attention—to highlight fault-relevant features and model cross-modal dependencies. A novel attention-weighted consistency loss further improves the utilisation of unlabelled data during training. Validated on practical transformer datasets, AG-SVAF achieves superior performance in terms of diagnostic accuracy and stability, particularly under challenging scenarios involving class imbalance and label scarcity.

Methods of thermal analysis include: lumped parameters (LP), finite element (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Good analysis should be suitable for the motor type and geometry, obtain good accuracy and reduce time consumption. In this paper, the authors perform the thermal analysis of a self-ventilated 200 kW induction traction motor used in urban trains. First, the thermal network is created and the proposed LP approach is provided to calculate temperatures. This model consists of two steps which makes calculation easier, takes less time and can be used for complex parts without changing the whole model. The temperatures of important parts such as end winding can be calculated by the proposed model with simple equations, without any change in motor parameters matrix, so the proposed model is more flexible and can be used for different cases. Then, FEA and CFD are used to simulate the motor. Some model parameters are optimised using equations to make the model more accurate.

The machine's electromagnetic behaviour and fault-tolerant capabilities are assessed through experimental validation. To ensure stable torque output under single-phase faults, an advanced control strategy is introduced, regulating the <i>q</i>-axis current and zero-sequence components within the synchronous reference frame. This approach effectively mitigates torque loss caused by phase disconnection while optimising copper losses. Furthermore, a weighted multi-objective optimisation framework, utilising a Genetic Algorithm (GA), is implemented to refine the fault-tolerant current references, maximising torque output and minimising energy dissipation under fault conditions.

In contrast, the finite element analysis (FEA) offers high precision but is time consuming. The nonlinearity of magnetic materials introduces strong input–output coupling, while saturation leads to localised deviations in field distributions, both of which reduce the effectiveness and generalisability of conventional modelling approaches. To overcome these challenges, a physics-informed, data-driven modelling approach is proposed. Initially, a novel hybrid modelling framework based on physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) is introduced. In this framework, AM is incorporated into both the input-output layers and the relevant variables, thereby enabling the direct embedding of physical constraints into the loss function. Consequently, the network's training process is rigorously guided in accordance with established physical principles. To further enhance prediction accuracy and generalisation, a transfer learning framework is integrated into PINN, utilising pre-trained datasets from AM and fine-tuning the model using high-accuracy datasets derived from FEA. Additionally, to optimise the physical information-related hyperparameters that impact model accuracy, functional analysis of variance is employed to quantitatively assess their importance and determine the optimal hyperparameter values. Experimental results show that, with training sample sizes representing only 5% of the FEA data, TL-PINN achieves significant improvements over DNN, including a 74.25% reduction in (1 − <i>R</i><sup>2</sup>), a 49.51% reduction in RMSE, and a 50.46% reduction in MAE.

The proposed topologies are designed and compared with a rare-earth PM (REPM)-based symmetrical V-shape baseline in terms of electromagnetic performances, mechanical strength, demagnetisation withstand capability, and PMs cost. All machines are optimised for the same torque with the minimum volume of high-cost REPM at the same specification and size as a commercialised electric vehicle (EV) IPMSM. It is shown that the synergies of magnetic field shifting effect and HPM utilisation have improved the torque per REPM usage in both proposed machines. However, the magnetic field shifting of the proposed HPM asymmetric U-shape IPMSM is twice of that in the V-shape IPMSM counterpart along with a slightly better FEPM demagnetisation withstand capability. Meanwhile, the results show that the proposed HPM asymmetric V-shape IPMSM would be cheaper than the U-shape counterpart as the former and latter topologies require ∼31% and ∼23.5% less REPM volume than the baseline, respectively.
