Considering Capacitive Effects in Foil Winding Homogenization
Abstract: In conventional finite element simulations, foil windings with a thin foil and many turns require many mesh elements. This renders models quickly computationally infeasible. With the use of homogenization approaches, the finite element mesh does not need to resolve the small-scale structure of the foil winding domain. Present homogenization approaches take resistive and inductive effects into account. With an increase of the operation frequency of foil windings, however, capacitive effects between adjacent turns in the foil winding become relevant. This paper presents an extension to the standard foil winding model that covers the capacitive behavior of foil windings.
