A wind turbine transformer (WTT) is designed using a 3D wound core while the transformer’s total owning cost (TOC) and its inrush current performance realized as the two objective functions in a multi-objective optimization process. Multi-objective genetic algorithm is utilized to derive Pareto optimal solutions. The effects of inrush current improvement on other operating and design parameters...

During energisation of power transformers, transient inrush currents with peaks up to the short-circuit current may arise. Using controlled switching taking into account the residual flux, the transients can – in theory – be eliminated completely. Real factors such as closing time scatter and residual flux measurement uncertainty have to be considered when checking the suitability of controlled...

Second harmonic restraint is still commonly used to discriminate fault current and transformer inrush conditions. Such approach, however, has some disadvantages and limitations. Therefore various other criteria signals for power transformer inrush discrimination have been analysed. The paper presents a new multi-criteria stabilization algorithm that employs fuzzy reasoning technique for better ...

This research studies the forces on the windings of transformer due to inrush current. These forces are compared with the corresponding forces due to short-circuit of the windings. Twodimensional finite element computation of a single-phase shell-type transformer is carried out based on the maximum permissible inrush current value where its amplitude is the same as the rated shortcircuit curren...

Indirect Field Oriented Control (IFOC) is known to produce high performance in induction Motor (IM) drives by decoupling rotor flux and torque producing current components of stator current. The decoupling control between the rotor flux and the torque is no longer achieved in terms of stator current components this paper introduces a decoupled rotor flux and torque control based on the magnetiz...

The paper investigates the behavior of four transformer models in electromagnetic transients programs (EMTP) when calculating inrush currents due to shell-type transformers energization. These models are single-phase Saturable Transformer (STC), BCTRAN, Hybrid Transformer (XFMR) and UMEC. The measurements of a real transformer energization performed by EDF in France are used to evaluate the acc...

A new approach for protection of power transformer is presented using a time-frequency transform known as Wavelet transform. Different operating conditions such as inrush, Normal, load, External fault and internal fault current are sampled and processed to obtain wavelet coefficients. Different Operating conditions provide variation in wavelet coefficients. Features like energy and Standard dev...
