The two are compared and discussed in detail. A methodology that reduces the FEA geometrical size for core loss analyses to a slot-pitch is also presented.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125711405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its modeling capability and high degree of accuracy, FEA has high computational complexity, especially for nonlinear analysis. The FETI-DP method is a robust domain decomposition method, which is a suitable choice for improving the efficiency of large-scale 3-D nonlinear FEA. The FETI-DP method decomposes the original large-scale problem into multiple subdomains, which can then be handled by parallel computing techniques so that the total computation time is reduced significantly. Linear and nonlinear regions are separated using the FETI-DP method. This further improves simulation efficiency and flexibility. Cubic splines and relaxation techniques are adopted to ensure stable and fast convergence of the Newton-Raphson method.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115714090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The output torque of such machines is mainly generated by the self and mutual inductances, which are principally highlighted in this paper. In addition, the average value and quality of output torque and phase and line voltage waveforms are also predicted and compared. During the investigations the influence of the magnetic saturation on the machine performances is particularly examined. In order to confirm and verify the predicted results, a prototype is constructed and tested under the three different winding connections.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"2012 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121009437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They also have been used for micro-motors. Because of their size, these motors require the use of a permanent magnet and their winding is usually located in the air gap between stator and rotor. The size of the magnet is very small and the number of poles can be relatively high to generate a higher value for the Back-EMF at low speed. Therefore the effect of the magnetization process of the permanent magnet cannot be neglected. The paper presents an analytical method for accurately calculating the flux density in the air gap, the backEMF and torque of such a motor. This method can account for the permeability of the permanent magnet, the finite permeability of iron and the transition zone between two consecutive poles. It provides a quick way of determining and optimizing the performances of a slotless axial flux motor. The results of the model have been compared with measurements done on several prototypes of a micro-motor and there is good correlation.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122800922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increased electrical loading for in-flight cabin air conditioning, galley services and entertainment systems has led to a re-evaluation of aircraft architecture. DC electrical networks offer the opportunity to decouple the frequency of generated supply from the speed of the gas turbine engine, enabling the independent optimisation of both systems. Using generator-rectifier systems with a higher phase number upholds the safety critical nature of air transport whilst also allowing for a reduction in DC voltage ripple and reducing or eliminating the need for filter capacitance. A multiphase generator has built-in redundancy, offering the potential for continued operation with an open-circuit winding or diode fault, but with implications on the rating and DC power quality. This paper provides analysis, simulation and experimental validation of a reconfigurable, wound-field multiphase synchronous generator connected to a diode rectifier under open-circuit fault conditions for two winding configurations, star and delta.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122950423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The stator consists of a rotary armature and linear armature placed aside one another. Both armatures have a common rotor which consists of solid iron cylinder covered with a thin copper layer. The rotor can move rotary, linearly or with helical motion. The linear motion generates dynamic end effect on both linear and rotary armature. Modeling such an effect in rotary armature is a significant challenge as it requires a solution considering motion with two degrees of mechanical freedom. The approach used to address linear motion on rotary armature is based on the combination of transient time-domain finite element model and frequency-domain slip frequency technique. The results obtained from finite element modeling are then verified by test carried out on experimental model of the motor what validates the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129896073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is possible to couple into the FEM field equation, a voltage-current circuit equation which includes resistances or inductances that allow a better modeling of the field side effects. Thus, a FEM-circuit coupled equation is obtained. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to solve a FEM-circuit coupled equation, and a field FEM equation in which its forcing function is known. The method consists on obtaining an reduced equivalent equation, using a nodal reordering of the field FEM equation and performing some matrix operations.
