Abstract
To study a low frequency electromagnetic device represented by a Finite Element (FE) model coupled with a complex electrical circuit, an approach based on the co-simulation principle can be investigated. Then, each component of a system is solved by a dedicated software. To reduce the computational time of a co-simulation, an approach based on the Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD) method which is a model order reduction approach is investigated. The proposed approach is evaluated using three examples: a single-phase inductance coupled with a simple circuit equation, a 3-phase transformer connected to a rectifier supplying a variable electrical load and a system composed of four FE models coupled with electrical equations.
