PROJECT TITLE :

Optimal design of multi-winding transformer using combined FEM, taguchi and stochastic-deterministic approach

ABSTRACT :

A multi-objective design optimisation for double primary and secondary winding transformers is presented within the study, with the aim to minimise the deviation between the prescribed and designed short-circuit impedance values. The optimisation method involves the exploitation of the results of an efficient and experimentally validated finite element model for leakage field prediction by the Taguchi methodology. The model is employed in conjunction with evolutionary stochastic and deterministic optimisation algorithms so as to derive the optimal winding configuration that meets the technical needs for the compound multi-winding short-circuit impedance target value.
