Abstract

Background. One of the areas of industry digitalization is associated with the concept of digital twins, which allow simulating the operation of real devices in various modes. At present, simulation models of a three-phase rod-type transformer have been developed in the MatLab Simulink SimPowerSystem environment. The models can serve as the basis to design a digital twin of a real device. The problem is to find the most universal method for mathematical description of a transformer of unspecified design to develop its simulation model. The purpose of this study is to develop a simulation model of a three-phase shell-type transformer core with a twisted magnetic circuit and to study this model when the transformer is operating in steady and transient modes. Materials and methods. The authors have applied the methods to model electrical circuits based on the theory of ordinary differential equations, a simulation method using the MatLab Simulink SimPowerSystem software package. Results. The structural futures of the transformers with shell-core design and the main assumptions when developing the simulation model have been assessed. A system of nonlinear equations has been developed to find the flows and MMF generated by the windings of the device. A simulation model of a three-phase shell-core transformer with a twisted magnetic core has been developed. It is based on the obtained equations using the Algebraic Constraint block with the Solver function in MatLab Simulink SimPowerSystem. The results of simulation of dynamic processes in the transformer in various modes are presented. Conclusions. The results of the study can be used to design power transformers in engineering companies and under production conditions. It is also possible to use the developed models in case of power transformer operation to analyze the static and dynamic modes of operation of sections of electrical networks.
