This paper describes a mathematical model for the dynamic magnetic power losses in the laminated steel stator of high-frequency permanent magnet machines, such as brushless dc (BLDC) motors. The model presented is based on a utilization of the dynamic Jiles–Atherton model. Accurate dynamic $B$ – $H$ curve fitting and magnetic power loss derivations have been achieved, where the calculated magnetic losses have shown $\sim 95$ % accuracy from 5 to 2000 Hz over a flux density range of 1.0–1.6 T. This approach has been applied to estimate the magnetic power loss of a small scale high-frequency (>10 000 r/min) BLDC motor, with calculated and measured losses being in close agreement.

This paper presents a vector hysteresis model based on micromagnetic theory. In this model, a magnetization state of a magnetic material is described by a collection of single-domain particles, and magnetic reversal processes due to domain-wall motions are treated approximately as a magnetization flip. The present model is applied to calculation of hysteresis properties of grain-oriented silicon steel. The simulation results show that the anisotropic hysteresis properties and iron loss can be reproduced accurately by the present model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To develop efficient silicon steel plates and electric machines using silicon steel laminations, the evaluation of excess loss in silicon steel plates is important. In this paper, investigation on excess loss calculation using the finite element method is carried out. The excess loss, which is mainly due to two factors, lack of flux penetration and domain wall pinning, is considered by the proposed approach using the domain wall bowing degree (DWBD), which depends on the above two factors. The DWBD is obtained using nonlinear eddy-current analysis. The correlation between the excess loss and the DWBD can be expressed as an exponential equation. Using the equation, the excess loss can be predicted under harmonic frequency in the range of 50–2000 Hz. These results can be applied to iron loss estimation, especially, when there are harmonics in the power supply. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

We consider the quasi-static magnetic hysteresis model based on a dry-friction-like representation of magnetization. The model has a consistent energy interpretation, is intrinsically vectorial, and ensures a direct calculation of the stored and dissipated energies at any moment in time, and hence not only on the completion of a closed hysteresis loop. We discuss the variational formulation of this model and derive an efficient numerical scheme, avoiding the usually employed approximation, which can be inaccurate in the vectorial case. The parameters of this model for a nonoriented steel are identified using a set of first-order reversal curves. Finally, the model is incorporated as a local constitutive relation into a 2-D finite-element simulation accounting for both the magnetic hysteresis and the eddy current. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

An integral method for the solution of low frequency electromagnetic field problems in presence of hysteretic media is presented. The mathematical model is formulated in the time domain. A frequency-domain fixed point technique is proposed to determine the steady-state solution of the model in a computationally more efficient way than time-domain techniques. Numerical results on magnetic systems relevant to nondestructive evaluation (NDE) configurations are shown in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
