Electric Machine Models with Adaptive Resolution (A03)

• Subject Area: Electronic Semiconductors, Components and Circuits, Integrated Systems, Sensor Technology, Theoretical Electrical Engineering
• Term: since 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 492661287

This project will enable transient machine simulation with the same predictive power as standard 3D finite-element models, but at a computation cost reduced from several hours to a few minutes. This will be achieved by error-controlled adaptation in space and time and by tailored hybrid modelling techniques. The adaptive resolution will be exploited to construct high- and low-fidelity models which, combined with an appropriate model management, will accelerate outer-loop algorithms such as, e.g., optimisation.
