Description
Summary:A consistent and computationally efficient finite-element model for the simulation of the steady-state operation of surface-mounted permanent magnet brushless dc motors driven from quasi-square wave inverters is presented. The methodology combines the magnetostatic finite-element and the steady-state time-periodic circuit models with time averaging. A weak field-circuit coupling is established through the effective constant current and lumped parameters estimated at various loading conditions. The performance characteristics, determined via the proposed model for two different motors, are comparable with those obtained from the comprehensive time-stepping finite-element model, with the execution time being approximately a hundred times shorter for the former.
