Análise de metodologias de projeto de indutor variável com o uso de simulações em elementos finitos

Abstract

Given the growing search for more efficient ways to control power systems, the variable inductor topology has attracted the interest of recent research. Due to the wide applicability range, both in high and medium frequencies, as in telecommunications, and advantages such as its high reliability, robustness and low-cost potential, this device has shown to be of great interest, especially in lighting systems. Thus, several authors propose design methodologies that calculate the necessary parameters for the construction of the variable inductor, according to its application. This work aims to present a variable inductor design methodology, as well as an extensive literature review and basic concepts necessary for its complete understanding.
