Effective coil cooling of electrical transformer using optimal shape of cooling ducts

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this work, an optimisation of mutual configuration of separated both HV and LV coils, and in the same time cooling ducts in electrical transformer is presented. An objective functions is minimization of the hot-spot temperature that is determined using experimentally validated CFD model. The obtained results showed that a non-uniform positioning of ducts and coil wires lead to a more effective heat dissipation from the device. In consequence, the coil power losses are also substantially reduced.
