Simulation of Electrical Machines

Reverse-engineered an interior permanent-magnet synchronous machine end-to-end in FEMM, then designed a polyphase induction motor from scratch that matched nominal torque exactly.

Role Individual project
Year KTH, Spring 2025
500 automated magnetostatic solves per run via a MATLAB–Lua pipeline
0.00% error against the nominal torque target (9.55 Nm) for the from-scratch induction motor design
4.6% agreement between FEA average torque and the analytical dq model at MTPA

Reverse-engineered an IPMSM in FEMM, automating 500 magnetostatic solves per run through a MATLAB–Lua pipeline on a 10M+ element mesh converged to 1e-7. Characterized the machine end-to-end — phase resistance (2.36 Ω), PM flux linkage, line-to-line BEMF (289 V RMS at 2.83% THD), and d/q inductances yielding a 1.62 saliency ratio. Designed a polyphase induction motor from scratch and validated the analytical design against targets, matching nominal torque exactly while meeting the 85% efficiency target.
