Analytical solution of the induced currents in multilayer cylindrical conductors under external electromagnetic sources

Abstract

We present a closed-form solution for the induced losses in round conductors consisting of several concentric layers. The geometry under study corresponds to an infinitely-long and isolated multilayer cylinder where layers can have different electromagnetic properties and the number of layers is not restricted. The multilayer conductor is under an external time-varying magnetic field which induces currents and, accordingly, generates Joule dissipation. Total induced losses are obtained by integrating the losses of each layer. Mathematical expressions of the current distribution in each layer are derived from the solution of Maxwells equations. These expressions consist of a combination of Bessel functions of different kinds and orders. The current distribution in a particular layer not only depends on the properties of the layer but also on the properties of the rest of layers. Consequently, matrix formalism is adopted for describing current distribution of layers. Matrix description is numerically solved and results are compared with finite element simulations for different arrangements and cases.

“…2 3.3. Modelling of resistors 𝑅 𝑝 and 𝑅 𝑠 Due to the working frequency of the WPT system between 79 and 90 kHz, it is necessary to use a Litz wire to reduce losses, both skin effect 𝑃 𝑠𝑘𝑖𝑛 and proximity 𝑃 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑥 (Acero, Carretero, Lope, Alonso, & Burdío, 2016;Guillod, Huber, Krismer, & Kolar, 2017;Stadler, 2013;Tourkhani & Viarouge, 2001). In order to consider these losses, the resistances of the conductors that allow their modelling 𝑅 𝑠𝑘𝑖𝑛 and 𝑅 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑥 , respectively, are calculated, where 𝑅 is the total resistivity of the Litz coil:…”

“…Since COMSOL Multiphysics does not include the possibility of directly calculating the resistance, the method described in Acero et al (2016) has been implemented. As can be seen in Fig.…”

Analysis and design of tubular coils for wireless inductive power transfer systems

“…Moreover, instead of calculating the field in each turn, the squared field is averaged in the cross sectional area of the winding. As a result (5) is rewritten as follows: Analytical expressions of functions Φskin and Φprox can be derived by means of the model of losses presented in [12]. In this work, an analytical model of skin and proximity losses in multilayer round conductor was reported.…”

“…The functions Φskin and Φprox for copper tubes can be obtained by assuming a twolayer round conductor with the geometry presented in Fig. 1, or in other words, Φskin and Φprox can be obtained by particularizing the results of [12] to the case of two layers. These functions include several Bessel functions and can be easily implemented in Matlab.…”

A recursive methodology for modelling multi-stranded wires with multilevel helix structure

“…Ac losses in a strand are calculated as the sum of copper losses due to skin and proximity effects, which in its turn can be obtained as exact solutions of Maxwell's equations for round geometry by applying the third premise as boundary condition [4]. These ideas are in the heart of existing loss models [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12].…”
