To study the influence of the magnitude of the excitation current on the radial electromagnetic force wave of the tangential magnetizing parallel structure hybrid excitation synchronous motor (TMPS-HESM) under different working conditions. Firstly, the basic structure of the motor and the rotor magnetic circuit model is introduced. Secondly, considering the influence of excitation current, the Maxwell stress tensor method is used to analyze the radial electromagnetic force wave of the motor and the source, frequency and order of the radial electromagnetic force wave that has a great influence on the electromagnetic vibration of the motor are qualitatively obtained. Then, the three-dimensional finite element method is used to calculate the variation law of the radial electromagnetic force wave when different excitation currents are applied under no-load and load conditions, revealing that the DC excitation will increase the amplitude of the radial electromagnetic force wave of a specific order. Meanwhile, the influence of load torque variation on the radial electromagnetic force wave is discussed, and it is found that the (2f, 8) and (6f, 24) order electromagnetic force waves are greatly affected by the armature reaction. The work provides a theoretical basis for further suppressing the electromagnetic vibration of this type of hybrid excitation motor.

Induction heating is an efficient and high-performance heating method which already has a significant market penetration and economic impact due to its benefits inherent to contactless energy transfer systems such as quickness, cleanness, and safety. Efficiency is a key design parameter since it determines not only the appliance performance but also its environmental impact, with significant socio-political implications. However, it is not easy to determine and compare the actual power converter efficiency operating under highly variable conditions typical of IH. This paper proposes an averaged efficiency parameter elaborated based on technical and typical IH usage conditions that offers a useful value to compare power converters operating under realistic operation conditions. The proposed parameter has been evaluated in some of the most significant power converter topologies used in reported state-of-the-art induction heating systems.

At present, there are shoddy transformers in the market, of which the windings are replaced by aluminum and copper clad aluminum. The commissioning of these transformers may cause poor power supply performance and excessive winding heating. The existing detection methods of windings are complex, time-consuming to operate and destructive. Therefore, a winding material identification method based on vibration characteristics is proposed. Firstly, the vibration accelerations of transformer cores and windings with different winding materials are theoretically derived. Furthermore, through the coupling simulation of magnetic field and structure field of distribution transformers, the calculated vibration characteristics of copper, aluminum, and copper clad aluminum are verified. Finally, by comparing the time domain, the frequency domain and time-frequency domain of acceleration signals, preliminary identification of winding materials is conducted, which lays a theoretical foundation for establishing a precise identification model for winding materials in the future.

It is significant to balances torque and vibration performance for the surface-mounted permanent magnet (PM) machines. This paper proposes a functional magnet structure to suppress the vibration response of integral-slot surface-mounted PM machines. At the same time, the torque ripple is also greatly reduced without sacrificing the average torque. Firstly, taking the 48-slot/8-pole PM machine as an example, the main sources of the air-gap radial force are analyzed based on the Maxwell stress equation. Thereby, the main PM flux density harmonic components that contribute to the radial force are pointed out. Secondly, the design method of different functional magnet structure is investigated. Then, the effects of different magnet shapes on the torque and vibration performances are compared. The result shows that the proposed sinusoidal+3rd-order harmonic injection functional magnet structure can effectively improve the vibration performance without sacrificing the average torque. Finally, the prototype of the 48-slot/8-pole PM with functional magnet structure is manufactured, and the experiments are carried out for validation.

Additive manufacturing is becoming increasingly widespread and has developed very dynamically in recent years. For the processing of metals, powder or wire is usually used as the feedstock. The energy source used in wire-based processes is usually electric arcs or lasers. In this contribution, a technological approach for additive manufacturing of metal structures by induction melting with pulsed generator power is used. Therefore, the principle of oscillating Lorentz forces is utilized in this approach and analytically investigated with the aid of a FE simulation model. In the experiments, a continuously fed steel wire is inductively melted and deposited dropwise onto a substrate heated to different preheating temperatures without the use of a nozzle or crucible.

This paper describes the procedure of electromagnetic and thermal modeling of an induction hardening load of 42CrMo4 steel. In addition to the temperature and field level dependent physical properties of the material, the magnetic behavior of the load is captured by means of some kind of non-linearimpedance boundary condition which simplifies the computational cost of the simulation. The numerical results show the critical behavior around Curie temperature. Finally, a comparison between several simulation results and experimental measurements are provided to assess the usefulness of the proposed electro-thermal simulation.

Artificially triggered lightning experimental data from Guangdong Comprehensive Observation Experimental Base on Lightning Discharge (GCOELD) was applied to analyze the propagation effect of lightning electromagnetic field along the real ground surface. The accuracy of the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) on correcting lightning location system (LLS) errors was validated compared with the Elevation Model (EM). Results show that the wave-shape and time-delay of electromagnetic fields can be significantly affected when they propagate over the real ground surface. The time-delay of the field waveform become larger with an increasing roughness. The wavefront electric field is enhanced due to the reflection and variant of the wave when lightning waves propagate across the high and sharp terrain. Near the lightning strokes, the peak of vertical electric value decreases significantly with the electrostatic shielding effect. The max time delay calculated by FDTD is 8.34 μs; while that by EM is 6.55 μs. In the selected nine lightning stroke points, eight are positively revised by EM, and five by FDTD. Both FDTD and EM can be used on LLS error revision caused by the real ground surface around GCOELD, although EM is more efficient than FDTD in this case.
应用广东省雷电综合观测实验基地（GCOELD）的人工触发雷电实验数据，分析了雷电电磁场沿真实地表的传播效应。与高程模型（EM）相比，验证了有限差分时域（FDTD）修正雷电定位系统（LLS）误差的准确性。结果表明，当电磁场在真实地表传播时，其波形和时延会受到很大影响。随着粗糙度的增加，场波形的时间延迟也会变大。当雷电波在高而尖锐的地形上传播时，由于波的反射和变异，波前电场会增强。在雷击点附近，垂直电场值的峰值在静电屏蔽效应的作用下明显下降。FDTD 计算出的最大时延为 8.34 μs，而 EM 计算出的最大时延为 6.55 μs。在选定的 9 个雷击点中，有 8 个被 EM 正向修正，5 个被 FDTD 正向修正。FDTD 和 EM 均可用于 GCOELD 周围真实地表引起的 LLS 误差修正，但 EM 在这种情况下比 FDTD 更有效。

This paper considers the azimuthal rotation of melt about the vertical axis of a DC EAF, which is ensured by an inclined installation of the power supply electrodes, which is a patented solution that is the basis for this article. Near inclined electrodes, the Lorentz force has a pronounced azimuthal component, which is the driver of the melt rotation without an external axial magnetic field – thus, additional energy consumption to create an external magnetic field is not necessary. The main design and technological solutions, formulated in the patent and presented by the authors, were obtained using observations and numerical LES study for a laboratory-scale experimental setup (capacity 4.8 kg of GaInSn), as well as using LES computations for an industrial-scale DC EAF (capacity 3.6 t of molten steel). Basic technological solutions studied: the flow of the melt may be controlled by varying the number of vertical and inclined electrodes of DC EAF, choosing the angle of inclination of the electrodes as well as choosing the sequence of turning on and turning off power supply through the electrodes.

It is important to measure the global and/or local velocity of an in-pipe metallic flow to control its running state in applications such as a Tokamak fusion reactor. The magnetic field outside the pipe wall will be perturbed by the motion induced eddy current when the liquid metal flows across an applied static magnetic field. This phenomenon gives a possibility to evaluate the in-pipe velocity from the measured magnetic field perturbation signals. In this paper, a non-intrusive velocity evaluation method is proposed accordingly for measuring the velocity of liquid metal through measurement and inversion of the magnetic field surrounding the pipe. An efficient forward simulation method to calculate the magnetic field near a metallic flow in a static environmental magnetic field is developed at first. An inversion scheme based on the singular value decomposition and the L-curve method is then proposed to reconstruct the velocity distribution at a pipe cross-section with the linear equations correlating the flow velocity and the magnetic field regulated using the Tikhonov method. The reconstruction results of pipe flows of different velocity modes verified the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed velocity measurement method for in-pipe metallic flows.
在托卡马克核聚变反应堆等应用中，测量管道内金属流的整体和/或局部速度以控制其运行状态非常重要。当液态金属流过外加静磁场时，管壁外的磁场会受到运动诱发的涡流扰动。这种现象为根据测量到的磁场扰动信号评估管道内速度提供了可能。本文相应地提出了一种非侵入式速度评估方法，通过测量和反转管道周围的磁场来测量液态金属的速度。首先开发了一种高效的正演模拟方法，用于计算静态环境磁场中金属流附近的磁场。然后提出了一种基于奇异值分解和 L 曲线方法的反演方案，利用 Tikhonov 方法将流速和磁场调节相关联的线性方程重建管道横截面处的速度分布。不同速度模式的管道流的重建结果验证了所提出的管道内金属流速度测量方法的可行性和效率。
