Paper 1: Three phase Transformer: Connection and Configuration

This research paper discusses three-phase distribution transformers, focusing on their configurations, conn
ections, advantages, and disadvantages. The abstract highlights the common Delta-Star configuration in distrib
ution transformers and discusses the bonding of Neutral and Earth connections in different supply systems. Th
e introduction provides an overview of three-phase transformers, emphasizing their importance in electrical po
wer distribution.

It also explores the construction of three-phase transformers, explaining that they can be built using three
single-phase transformers or as a single pre-assembled unit. Different winding configurations, such as "star,"
"delta," and "interconnected-star," are discussed, along with the corresponding symbols and markings.
Paper 1: Three phase Transformer: Connection and Configuration

The advantages of using a single three-phase transformer over three individual transformers are outlined,
including cost, size, and weight savings. Various connections, such as Delta-Delta, Star-Star, Star-Delta, and Delt
a-Star, are explained, each serving specific purposes in electrical power distribution.

The also paper discusses the features, benefits, and applications of Delta-Delta, Delta-Star, Star-Delta, and
Star-Star connections in detail. The advantages and disadvantages of every configuration, including load capacit
ies, phase differences, and voltage reduction, are given particular consideration.

The design of three-phase transformers is examined, emphasizing the effects of the two types of cores (thr
ee-limb core type and five-limb shell type) on the distribution of magnetic flux. A technique for converting thre
e-phase power into two-phase power is also introduced in the paper: the Scott connection.

The benefits and drawbacks of three-phase transformers are outlined in the conclusion, which also
highlights the difficulties posed by single-phase faults or defects. Three-phase transformers are easy to install,
efficient, and cost-effective.

The drawbacks are also discussed in the paper, such as the requirement for total unit shutdown in the
event of a malfunction, increased repair expenses, and decreased transformer capacity when self-cooled. The c
omplex process of rectifying a malfunction and the elevated expenses associated with replacement parts for th
ree-phase transformers are also discussed in the conclusion.

This research paper focuses on the optimization of design parameters for a three-phase transformer to
improve efficiency and reduce material costs.

The study also finds the ideal design parameters that minimize both volume and loss using the
multi-objective differential evolution algorithm and ANSYS Maxwell 2D for modeling and analysis.

The research presents the optimum design parameters for a 1 kVA transformer, which is then tested
under various loading conditions and power factor values.

The results indicate that maximum efficiency is achieved at 75% loading condition with unity power factor.

The importance of precise numerical techniques like the finite element method is emphasized in the paper's discussion
of related work on transformer optimization. Specific copper properties for coils and M15 grade steel for the core are among
the design parameters.

efficiency and reduced volume for the specified transformer application.
Paper 3: Three-Phase Transformer Representation Using FEMM, and a Methodology for Air Gap Calculation

This research paper presents a technique for representing three-phase, three-limb transformers in two
dimensions using Finite Element Methods on Magnetics (FEMM).
The magnetization curve of silicon steel and air gaps from the transformer core assembly process are
the main subjects of the study. Based on the transformer magnetic circuit and the magnetization current wavef
orm acquired from the no-load test, a method for computing air gap reluctance is suggested.
The paper emphasizes the importance of accurately modeling air gaps, especially in three-limb
transformers, where the magnetization current magnitudes in each phase differ. The computational
methodology involves three stages: pre-processing, processing, and post-processing.

The effects of asymmetry in winding and core dimensions are taken into account when computing the
transformer's magnetization curve and leakage reactance. For two-dimensional representation, the FEMM prog
ram is used; some geometric modifications are required. The difficulties of accurately illustrating coils and
limbs in cylindrical shapes along the third dimension are discussed in the paper.
A laboratory transformer is used for experimentation, and the characteristics of the transformer, such as
power, voltage, winding dimensions, and magnetic flux density, are presented. The magnetization curve for the
silicon steel sheets used in the transformer core is provided.
Paper 3: Three-Phase Transformer Representation Using FEMM, and a Methodology for Air Gap Calculation

The paper highlights the importance of taking air gaps in the magnetic circuit into account for accurate
representation and provides a thorough method for adding air gap imperfections to the computer model.
Using the magnetization current peak values from the no-load test, the air gap calculation involves estimating
the size of air gaps.

Additionally, the study deals with the FEMM calculation of leakage reactance and compares the output with
values measured experimentally.
In conclusion, the paper contributes to the accurate representation of transformer behavior, considering
the impact of air gaps in the assembling process on the magnetization curve and leakage reactance. The
presented methodology can enhance the modeling precision for transformers in electromagnetic simulations.
Paper 4: Multi-Objective Design Optimization for HVDS-LCC Converter Transformer: Analytical and FEA-Based
Comparison

Losses must be raised in proportion to the transformer's weight, and vice versa. The Pareto Frontier, which
shows the trade-off between the two competing goals, is where the optimization process looks for solutions.
A multi-objective Genetic Algorithm is used to carry out the optimization process, looking for Pareto-optimal
solutions. The creation of analytical formulas to determine weight and losses for a range of core and winding
geometries is one of the work's primary contributions. Construction constraints and IEC standards compliance
are taken into account during the optimization process.

In order to confirm the validity of the suggested approach, the paper employs numerical techniques for wind
ing harmonic losses and short-circuit impedance verification to validate the analytical formulation. The
research makes use of a case study of an HVDC system, notably an 800-kV LCC link, taking into account the
rectifier and inverter stations.

Comparison

Determining core and winding geometries is a step in the transformer design process that is influenced by
standards, technical requirements, and system parameters. The specific specifications needed for converter
transformers used in HVDC systems are compared with the traditional transformer design procedure. In order
to improve system efficiency, the paper highlights how crucial it is to optimize transformer designs, especially
with regard to weight and losses.
The methodology that has been suggested offers a methodical approach to optimizing transformer design
while taking into account diverse technical specifications and standards. It can be tailored to meet the
intricate needs of hybrid variable voltage DC systems. The work promotes improvements in HVDC technology
by continuously refining transformer design methodologies.
