Modelica.Magnetic.FundamentalWave.UsersGuide

User's Guide

Information


This library contains components for modelling of electromagnetic fundamental wave models for the application in multi phase phase electric machines. The number of phases is not restricted to three. DC machines are (currently) not included in this library. The FundamentalWave library is an alternative approach to the Modelica.Electrical.Machines library. A great advantage of this library is the strict object orientation of the electrical and magnetic components that the electric machines models are composed of. From a didactic point of view this library is very beneficial for students in the field of electrical engineering.

For more details see the concept.

Fundamental wave concept

Information



Overview of the concept of fundamental waves

The exact magnetic field in the air gap of an electric machine is usually determined by an electro magnetic finite element analysis. The waveform of the magnetic field, e.g., the magnetic potential difference , consists of a spatial fundamental wave - with respect to an equivalent two pole machine - and additional harmonic waves of different order. The fundamental wave is however dominant in the air gap of an electric machine.

Fig. 1: Field lines of a four pole induction machine

In the fundamental wave theory only a pure sinusoidal distribution of magnetic quantities is assumed. It is thus assumed that all other harmonic wave effects are not taken into account.

Fig. 2: Magnetic potential difference of a four pole machine, where is the angle of the spatial domain with respect to one pole pair

The waveforms of the magnetic field quantities, e.g., the magnetic potential difference , can be represented by complex phasor, e.g., according to:

  

It is important to note that the magnetic potential used in this library always refers to an equivalent two pole machine.

Fig. 3: Spatial distribution of the magnetic potential difference (red shade = positive sine wave, blue shade = negative sine wave) including complex phasor representing this spatial distribution

The potential and flow quantities of this library are the complex magnetic potential difference and the complex magnetic flux as defined in the basic magnetic port. Due to the sinusoidal distribution of magnetic potential and flux, such a complex phasor representation can be used. This way, the FundamentalWave library can be seen as a spatial extension of the FluxTubes library.

The specific arrangement of windings in electric machines with pole pairs give rise to sinusoidal dominant magnetic potential wave. The spatial period of this wave is determined by one pole pair [Mueller70, Spaeth73].

The main components of an electric machine model based on the FundamentalWave library are multi phase and single phase windings, air gap as well as symmetric or salient cage models. The electric machine models provided in this library are based on symmetrical windings in the stator and equivalent two or three phase windings in squirrel cage rotors. Slip ring induction machines may have different phase numbers in the stator and rotor.

Assumptions

The machine models of the FundamentalWave library are currently based on the following assumptions

Note

The term fundamental wave refers to spatial waves of the electro magnetic quantities. This library has no limitations with respect to the waveforms of the time domain signals of any voltages, currents, etc.

Symmetrical three phase system

Symmetrical three phases systems of currents (or voltages) consists of three sinusoidal sine waves with with an angular displacement of .

,

Electrical three phase machines have (usually) symmetrical three phase windings which excite spatial magnetic potential with a spacial displacement of - with respect to the fundamental wave, see [Laughton02]. Such a symmetrical three phase system of currents (or voltages) can be represented by phasors, as depicted in Fig. 1(a). The associated three phase winding is depicted in Fig. 2(a). The winding axis are displaced by :

So there is is a strong coherence between angular displacement in the time and spatial domain which also applies to multi phase systems.

Symmetrical multi phase system

In symmetrical multi phase systems odd and even phase numbers have to be distinguished.

Odd number of phases

For a symmetrical multi phase system with phases the displacement in the time and spatial domain is , as depicted in Fig. 1 and 2.

Mathematically, this symmetry is expressd in terms of phase currents by:

The orientation of the winding axis of such winding is given by:

Even number of phases

In the current implementation of the FundamentalWave library, phase numbers equal to the power of two are not supported. However, any other multi phase system with even an phase number, , can be recursively split into various symmetrical systems with odd phase numbers, as depicted in Fig. 3 and 4. The displacement between the two symmetrical systems is . A function for calculating the symmetricOrientation is available.

Note

In a fully symmetrical machine, the orientation of the winding axes and the symmetrical currents (or voltages) phasors have different signs; see Fig. 1 and 2 for odd phase numbers and Fig. 3 and 4 for even phase numbes.

Stator main inductance

The stator main inductance of an phase induction machine is related with the self inductance of on stator phase, , by:

Parameters of equivalent multi phase induction machines models

Assume a set parameters, , , , , of a three phase induction machine and a set of parameters, , , , , of an phase induction machine. It is also assumed that

of the three and phase induction machine are equal. In this case the two parameter sets are related by:




This way the same torque is generated and the machine currents are related by:

The same applies for the rotor parameters of a slip ring induction machine, where the phase number is simply replaced by for transforming equivalent three phase to phase winding parameters -- at the same nominal rotor voltage and frequency.
