Together with additive manufacturing, topology optimization offers disruptive possibilities in electrical machine design. We investigate how sensitive the TO is to the problem setup by varying mesh density, material definitions and initial values of optimization. We also derive and implement three different optimization problem formulations to improve the electrical machine performance. As a result, we found that the geometry obtained with this method is sensitive to both material definition and mesh density. Further, the rotor mass could not be decreased significantly without compromising the average torque to some extent. However, through optimization, significant improvement of the torque values was gained for the rotor angles at the beginning or at the end of the stroke.","PeriodicalId":317315,"journal":{"name":"2019 22nd International Conference on the Computation of Electromagnetic Fields (COMPUMAG)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128343892","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}

Both models where simulated in scenarios where one of the magnets where 20 % and 100 % demagntized and when none of the magnets where demagnetised. The results showed that the proposed PNM with variable magnetic flux sources matched the results of the FEA. The proposed method only need to invers the permeance matrix once before the time simulation, while the traditinal PNM need to invers it in every time step. This make the proposed model less computationally heavy when modeling electrical machines in healthy and faulty conditions, like demagnetization, short circuit, and static eccentricity. The difference is smaller when modeling dynamic eccentricity, becuase the geometry of the airgap changes over time.","PeriodicalId":317315,"journal":{"name":"2019 22nd International Conference on the Computation of Electromagnetic Fields (COMPUMAG)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116197723","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 constant voltage results in the accumulation of space charges and a time varying electric field. To simulate the electric field, different EQS formulations are introduced in literature. In a first formulation, the electric field and the space charge density are updated consecutively via the continuity equation and the electrostatic Poisson equation. In the second EQS formulation, the continuity formulation is reformulated using the electric scalar potential and only the electric field is updated per time step. To compare both EQS formulations, the electric fields are simulated in different HVDC cable systems. Simulation results of the electric field in a cable insulation result in relative errors of less than 1 % between both numerical computations and the analytic solution. Simulation results of a cable joint show instabilities for the field-space charge update EQS formulation, due to an averaging process of the charge density, whereas the scalar potential EQS formulation yield stable results when simulating nonlinear electric conductivities.","PeriodicalId":317315,"journal":{"name":"2019 22nd International Conference on the Computation of Electromagnetic Fields (COMPUMAG)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116353172","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}

Topological optimization is common in the field of mechanical engineering, but in the design of electrical machines and electromagnetic actuators there is still an open space for its application.Having an electrical machine with high torque and low weight is one of the desired goals, which is investigated in this study. The implementation of the proposed method is applied to an electromagnetic actuator in order to optimize its topology or structure. To assess the validity of the proposed method, while considering the goals, the design of a simple magnetic actuator using a metaheuristic optimization method is presented as a global search. To overcome the generation of intermediate material characteristics in the cells of the design area, a binary genetic algorithm (GA) is used. Also, to enhance the low convergence rate of the GA, several chromosomes for each subarea of the design space are used independently of each other and operate at the same time, therefore, lead to a significant reduction of the computational time. The actuator’s force is calculated to gain the best material distribution in the discretized design area. After the automatic optimization process some manual changes in the material distribution are made to improve the manufacturability. The given design goals have been successfully achieved using the proposed topological optimization method.","PeriodicalId":317315,"journal":{"name":"2019 22nd International Conference on the Computation of Electromagnetic Fields (COMPUMAG)","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124720393","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}
