The shift toward the electrification of vehicles and the expansion of the electrical grid for renewable energy integration has led to a considerable increase in the demand for power electronics devices and modernized cable systems — applications that will help ensure a consistent and long-term electricity supply. Simulation is used to drive the design of new power electronics devices (such as solar power and wind turbine systems), which are required to operate efficiently for varying levels of power production and power consumption (in the case of electric vehicles). A multiphysics modeling and simulation approach plays a critical role in meeting design goals and reducing the overall production time.

The COMSOL Multiphysics® software offers a wide range of capabilities for the modeling of energy transmission and power electronics, including quasistatic and time-harmonic electromagnetic fields. Additionally, the COMSOL® software features unique capabilities for coupling thermal and structural effects with electromagnetic fields. Effects such as induction heating and Joule heating, as well as structural stresses and strains caused by thermal expansion, can be studied with user-friendly modeling features.

In this webinar, we will provide an overview of the modeling and simulation functionality in the COMSOL® software for the design of high-power cables and devices for power electronics.

To reduce global warming and the associated effects, the transportation and energy sectors are adopting measures to make different applications potentially fossil free. This has led to a surge in demand for electric machines and the related design and development efforts. The designs of these electrical machines need to meet various specifications, including efficiency and power density requirements. A multiphysics-based simulation and modeling approach plays a critical role in accomplishing the design needs and significantly reducing the lead time to market.

The COMSOL Multiphysics software and its add-on modules provide the capability needed to model the multiphysics phenomena involved in electrical motors, including electromagnetics, thermal, structural mechanics, and fluid flow. The most common motor types, synchronous permanent magnet and asynchronous motors, as well as more recently researched alternatives such as synchronous reluctance or axial flux motors, can be modeled and optimized in COMSOL Multiphysics®. In this webinar, we will demonstrate the capabilities of the software for electrical motor modeling and the optimization techniques available for accelerating product development time.
