Impact of Magnetic Core Inductors and Transformers in HPM Systems: Designing Magnetic Materials for Efficiency

The multi-year “Innovative Magnetic Material Solutions for Navy High-Frequency Power Systems” program, funded by ONR, aims to develop new magnetic materials to improve the efficiency of power electronics and high power microwave (HPM) systems. The program led by Northeastern University, in collaboration with Kostas Research Institute, University of Pittsburgh, Dartmouth College, and Missouri Institute for Defense and Energy, focuses on developing high performance magnetic materials and composites operating at frequencies from 0.5 to 5 MHz and up to and beyond 250 MHz, as well as additive manufacturing for cost-effective scalable production of magnetic components.

This materials development is being enabled by modelling and simulation centered around identifying the impact of magnetic materials/composites on the performance of the inductor and transformer in specific HPM systems. Magnetic component design guidelines and system impact, based on initial input from DE stakeholders and magnetic material/inductor models developed by the team, will be presented to solicit further input from the community.

This work is supported by the Office of Naval Research under Grant # N000142412513.
