Optimisation Design of a Low-Frequency Eddy Current Rail Heater

The aim of the work is the optimisation of a rail heater, constituted by a magnetic core supplied by a sinusoidal current, which induces an eddy current in the rail.Optimisation parameters are electrical and geometrical quantities: supply frequency, voltage amplitude, airgaps, and core shape, while objectives are power transferred to the rail, abso
