An Improved Preisach Model for Magnetic Hysteresis of Grain-Oriented Silicon Steel under PWM Excitation

Abstract

In this paper, the Preisach model for magnetic hysteresis of grain-oriented silicon steel under PWM excitation is improved. First, an improved Preisach model for the magnetic hysteresis of grain-oriented silicon steel under PWM excitation is proposed. Second, the experimental platform for grain-oriented silicon steel sheets under PWM excitation is established. Finally, by comparative analysis, it is concluded that the error of the improved model is far less than that of the classical model (the error here refers to the discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical model predictions). The improved model is 1.4% to 9% more accurate than the classical model. A more accurate model can provide more accurate material parameters for the calculation of the magnetic field in the transformer core, which is of great significance to the production and design of the transformer.
