| Summary: | The importance of extensive optimizations during
the design of electric machines entails a need for fast and accurate
simulation tools. For that reason, Fourier-based analytical models
have gained a lot of popularity. The problem, however, is that
these models typically require a current density as input. This
is in contrast with the fact that the great majority of modern
drive trains are powered with the help of a pulse-width modulated
voltage-source inverter. To overcome that mismatch, this paper
presents a coupling of classical Fourier-based models with the
equation for the terminal voltage of an electric machine, a
technique that is well known in finite-element modeling but has
not yet been translated to Fourier-based analytical models. Both
a very general discussion of the technique and a specific example
are discussed. The presented work is validated with the help of
a finite-element model. A very good accuracy is obtained. |
