DESIGN OF REAL-WORLD ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING PRODUCTS USING FRONT-END 3D SIMULATION & OPTIMIZATION TECHNOLOGIES

POLOPT/ Tesla: Module for Magnetostatic Analysis

Case study: Shunt reactor design

  • Analysis of Magnetostatic class of problems,
  • Simulation of nonlinear behavior of the controllable shunt reactor,
  • The controlled changes of the reactor inductance are achieved by the changes of the magnetic saturation in the control discs,
  • The changes of the magnetic saturation are caused  by the changes of DC current flowing through the control coils  wounded around the control discs.
Flux change for IDC changes in the range 0-1000 A
Permeability changes for IDC = 0-1000 A
