Abstract

Transformer no load loss optimization is crucial for transformer manufacturers as well as for electric utilities, since it results to significant economic benefits. In this article, the three-dimensional finite element analysis is applied to power transformers in order to predict and minimize the iron loss. The proposed model is based on a particular reduced scalar potential formulation, necessitating no prior source field calculation, and employs detailed modeling of the core geometry and material, considering for manufacturing core formation process effects by convenient hysteresis phenomenological models. Comparisons between this method and test values for a number of commercial transformers, prove its validity and accuracy, rendering it a reliable tool for customized design of an industrial plant.
