Research on the simulation accuracy of static hysteresis loops of electrical steels using an improved simplified LLG equation

Abstract

For tackling the problem of large errors in simulating the static inner symmetrical minor hysteresis loops through the Simplified Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (S-LLG) equation, a modification by improving the grain structure arrangement and introducing additional hysteresis energy function is proposed. With the proposed model, only a unified set of parameters identified by four static hysteresis loops is needed to predict hysteresis loops under arbitrarily different magnetic flux density levels. To verify the global simulation capability of the proposed model, the simulation results of hysteresis loops are compared with the measured data of a grain-oriented (GO) steel. The obtained results show that the model has good simulation ability for hysteresis loops under different magnetic flux densities for both sinusoidal and harmonic excitation conditions.
