Transformer Model Identification by Ārtap

Abstract

The paper presents how Ārtap can be used for determining the equivalent circuit parameters of a one phase transformer as a benchmark problem. The following unknown parameters of the equivalent circuit are identified: primary resistance and primary leakage reactance, secondary resistance and secondary leakage reactance, finally magnetizing resistance, and magnetizing reactance. The known quantities from measurement are the primary voltage, primary current, power factor, secondary voltage, and the load resistance. Algorithms implemented in Ārtap are used for determining the transformer parameters and the results are compared with the analytical solution.
