Abstract

This paper presents a high-fidelity finite-element modeling technique for magnetic hysteresis and eddy current losses in toroid inductors. The method is based on the separation of ferromagnetic loss characteristics into two components: a quasi-static hysteresis component and a dynamic eddy current component. The Preisach model is used to describe the quasi-static magnetic hysteresis behavior of the core, providing strong guarantees on the reproducibility of the experimentally measured characteristics. This model is used to represent the magnetic field constitutive relationships within a finite-element framework combining the effects of hysteresis and eddy currents in a unified dynamic simulation. The finite-element model of the toroid is used as a high-order inductor model coupled to a resonant circuit simulation. The modeling technique is validated through experimental measurements on two different series RLC circuits. The first circuit is based on an M19 electrical steel toroid having resonant frequency near 200 Hz. The second circuit is based on a T38 ferrite toroid having a resonant frequency near 10 kHz. The models agree closely with the measured voltages, currents, and losses. The models also successfully predict discontinuities in the measured frequency responses due to the existence of bistable operating regimes.

Continuum Modeling of Inductor Hysteresis and Eddy Current Loss Effects in Resonant Circuits

Conference Pries, Jason L. ; Tang, Lixin ; Burress, Timothy A. - IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE)

This paper presents experimental validation of a high-fidelity toroid inductor modeling technique. The aim of this research is to accurately model the instantaneous magnetization state and core losses in ferromagnetic materials. Quasi–static hysteresis effects are captured using a Preisach model. Eddy currents are included by coupling the associated quasi-static Everett function to a simple finite element model representing the inductor cross sectional area. The modeling technique is validated against the nonlinear frequency response from two different series RLC resonant circuits using inductors made of electrical steel and soft ferrite. The method is shown to accurately model shifts in resonant frequencymore »« less

Modelling the effects of eddy current losses on frequency dependent hysteresis in electrically conducting media

Conference Jiles, D C - IEEE Transactions on Magnetics (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers); (United States)

In recent studies it has been shown how the effects of classical eddy current losses can be used to extend the quasi-static hysteresis model to account for the frequency dependence of hysteresis in electrically conducting media. This paper deals with the extension of the hysteresis model to include anomalous or excess losses. The instantaneous power loss due to eddy currents then consists of two terms, one of which depends on (dB/dt)[sup 2] and the other one on (dB/dt)[sup 1.5]. The first term is the classical power loss and the second term, due to Bertotti, is the excess power loss. Itmore »« less
Using the Sherman Morrison Woodbury formula for coupling external circuits with FEM for Simulation of eddy current problems

Conference White, D

Simulation of three-dimensional transient eddy current problems is important to numerous applications. The Finite Element Method (FEM) has proven be to be powerful numerical technique for solving the Partial Differential Equations (PDE) describing eddy currents. In order to solve the PDE, boundary conditions must be provided, and in many applications the boundary conditions are not known explicitly but can be provided by a Resistor-Inductor-Capacitor (RLC) circuit model. The emphasis of this paper is on an efficient and exact coupling of the RLC network equations with the FEM equations. The coupling is based on an exact linear algebra identity known asmore »« less

Highly-laminated, high-saturation-flux-density, magnetic cores for on-chip inductors in power converter applications

Technical Report Allen, Mark G. ; Kim, Jungkwun ; Kim, Jooncheol ; ...

The objective of this project is development of a manufacturing process to realize thick highly-laminated metallic magnetic cores with suppressed eddy current losses for power applications and demonstration of integrated magnetic components using the process. The continual reduction in size and increase in functionality of portable electronic devices drives the development of ultracompact electrical power converters and therefore their associated inductors, which typically occupy the largest volume within the converter. This inductor size reduction can be achieved by increasing both the converter switching frequency as well as inductor operating flux density by utilizing appropriate magnetic core materials.

Development of high frequency spice models for ferrite core inductors and transformers

Conference Muyshondt, G P ; Portnoy, W M

In this work high frequency SPICE models were developed to simulate the hysteresis and saturation effects of toroidal shaped ferrite core inductors and transformers. The models include the nonlinear, multi-valued B-H characteristic of the core material, leakage flux, stray capacitances, and core losses. The saturation effects were modeled using two diode clamping arrangements in conjunction with nonlinear dependent sources. Two possible controlling schemes were developed for the saturation switch. One of the arrangements used the current flowing through a series RC branch to control the switch, while the other used a NAND gate. The NAND gate implementation of the switchmore »« less
