abstract = "A method combining Steinmetz magnetic loss models and a rain-flow counting technique is proposed to allow time-domain, 3D magnetic loss distribution prediction in power electronic magnetic components. The loss modelling technique works at a cellular level, predicting material losses in each cell based on local flux density values. Flux density is calculated using a partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) method incorporating an extension to account for the presence of high permeability magnetic material. Reduced order modelling techniques are used to maximise computational efficiency and allow a 11,000 time-step simulation to run in 80 seconds on a desktop PC, including 3D flux density predictions and distributed loss estimation. Experimental validation of the method is provided using a E-core based inductor.",
