Abstract
Power Transformers are an essential part of all AC Power Grids. This work proposes a multi-objective design optimization method for Power Transformers to increase efficiency while decreasing core volume in a case study of a step-down transmission-voltage transformer. A Finite-Element State-Space (FE-SS) Model was used in conjunction with Artificial Neural Networks, Particle Swarm Optimization, and the Taguchi Method. This case study of a transformer utilizes the added benefit of transformer testing data to verify FE-SS Model accuracy before optimization.
