Mathematical-model-based Simulation Method for Wound Field Motors Using Alternative Flux Model by RBF-net

Abstract

This paper presents a novel mathematical-model-based simulation method for wound field motors. In the proposed method, motor inductance is represented using an alternative magnetic flux model generated by a radial basis function network. Consequently, computational costs for realizing model-based simulation can be significantly reduced. To validate its effectiveness, the proposed method is applied to two types of wound field motors. Numerical results demonstrated that the model-based simulation method using an alternative flux model is effective for calculating motor characteristics.
