Through analysis, it was found that the influence of humidity on the transmittance of the solar-blind band in atmosphere can be neglected, and the transmittance is slightly affected by atmospheric pressure, temperature, and detection distance under conditions suitable for UV detection.

High-temperature level in electrical machines is a major factor that can adversely impact the performance and health conditions of these machines. These effects need to be minimized to make them competitive with currently operational machines in the industry. It can be done by performing a thorough thermal analysis of the prototype during the design process and proper online thermal monitoring of the machine during the operation stage. Thermal modelling is a powerful tool for achieving such goals in both cases. This paper aims to review the state-of-the-art of thermal modelling techniques and provide a detailed comparison of them in PM machines. The fundamental concepts of heat transfer and sources of heat in PM machines are first discussed. Then, different thermal modelling techniques, including thermal subdomain models (TSMs), lumped parameter thermal networks (LPTNs), finite element models (FEMs), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), reduced order models (ROMs), and hybrid thermal models (HTMs) are introduced and compared.
