Electrical Machines in Electromagnetic Transient Simulations: Focusing on efficient and accurate models

摘要

Electrical machines are extensively used in our everyday life. On the one hand, this can be seen in the rapid growth of generation from renewable energy sources such as wind, hydropower, tidal, etc. On the other hand, at the energy utilization and consumption end visible to most people, we are also witnessing revolutionary changes in many sectors, such as the electrification of all types of transportation, i.e., electric vehicles, industry-wide initiatives for more-electric aircraft and more-electric ships, military vehicles and defense systems, industrial automation, industrial and personal robots, medical devices and instruments, flying drones, electronic toys, and the multitude of household appliances and devices, all of which are designed and built with electric motors of various types and sizes.
