Research on fast calculation method of temperature field of metal structure near reactors considering the effect of multiple harmonic superposition by Shuo Jin, Yuchen Yang, Lin Zhu, Guozhi Zhang, Song Bai, Xiaoxing Zhang, Qing Chen

“…The current waveform is complex, and the harmonic content is high during the operation; therefore, the superposition of multiple harmonics must be considered for the accurate analysis of the temperature rise of structural components near the bridge arm reactor. In order to improve the calculation efficiency of temperature distribution, a fitting method is proposed to construct the frequency characteristic curve and calculate the eddy current loss under each harmonic based on the frequency variation characteristic of the reactor structure. …”
