Static hysteresis modeling for grain-oriented electrical steels based on the phenomenological concepts of energy loss mechanism

This paper proposes an advanced approach to construct static hysteresis loop of Grain-Oriented (GO) electrical steels for dynamic modeling and energy loss analysis. The proposed approach is in line with the magnetic hysteresis and phenomenological concepts of rate-dependent and rate-independent energy loss components of ferromagnetic materials under time-varying magnetic fields. The proposed method can predominantly describe energy loss mechanism and magnetization processes of the material. Accuracy of this technique was validated on Epstein size laminations of 3% GO silicon steels. The results explicitly confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method in dynamic hysteresis modeling of GO electrical steels at magnetizing frequencies up to 1 kHz and peak flux densities up to 1.7 T
