One Optimum Design Method of Dry-Type Air-Cored Reactors

Abstract

The process of designing a dry-type air-cored reactor is one repeated way of computing and regulating the correlated parameters, and it is very complex and time-consuming. Therefore, Genetic Algorithm is introduced in this paper, for the purpose of reducing error between total inductive potential of coils and the terminal voltage, we set up the optimization model of an air-cored reactor, and the Improved Genetic Algorithm is adopted to make an optimal design for the air-cored reactor. The results show that designed accuracy can be greatly improved.
