Abstract

This paper aims to get an optimal high voltage magnetic flux leakage transformer design of a three-phase shell type. Optimal design of transformer requires determination of design variables to optimize a particular objective and satisfying a set of constraints. The objective function is to minimize the total mass and reduce the volume of the transformer. This function depends on inputs, which are divided into optimization variables. Each optimization variable varies within a certain interval thus defining a global search space. It is within this space that we seek the optimal solution. The constraints: maximum and average current of magnetron anode are part of the problem in order to limit the overall search space. The results obtained indicate that the method has provided a global optimum. The computation time and cost of active material are much reduced compared with the conventional design results.

Summary

Introduction

Optimization presents the way to find out the best possible optimum design, and at the same time satisfies all limitations or restraints imposed on its performance. Several techniques have progressed through centuries to deal with the optimal solution. As far back as the beginning of the 20th century, early research in transformer design attempted to reduce much of this judgment in favor of mathematical relationships [1, 2]. The manufacturers started to research optimization methods [3, 4]. They sought to reduce much of this judgment with analytical fo rmulas using a computer was a pioneer by [2, 5]. Later [6,7,8,9] suggested a method for getting an optimized design of distribution transformer. Several other techniques were used [10,11,12,13]
