Abstract

This paper presents a fast method to compute wound rotor induction machines in steady state. Coupled time-harmonic finite-element (FE) circuit equation is used under a first space harmonic approximation for the air-gap magnetic field. It is shown that only four magnetostatic FE computations are necessary to determine the machine performances for any slip value. The performance comparison with a conventional complex magnetodynamic and time-stepping FE analyses show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
