Optimization of Power Transformer Design using Simulated Annealing Technique

چکیده
The power transformer is one of the most important equipment in a power system. Optimal design of transformer involves determination of design parameters of a power transformer when a chosen objective is optimized, simultaneously satisfying a set of constraints. In this paper Simulated Annealing (SA) is used for optimization of Power Transformer Design (OPTD).The total mass of core and copper is chosen as objective that is to be minimized. The results obtained indicate that the method has yielded a global optimum. The computation time and mass of active material are much reduced when compared with conventional design results. The efficiency of transformer is found to improve with the application of this algorithm.
