In the present paper, a Transformer Design Optimization (TDO) software package is developed providing a user-friendly transformer design and visualization environment. This software consists of a collection of design optimization, visualization and verification tools, able to provide transformer designers all the proper interactive capabilities required for the enhancement of the automated desi...

Power transformers can be sources of disturbing and annoying acoustic noise. This paper is a first phase report of a wider framework of study that investigates the noise radiation characteristics of air-cooled power transformers. The dynamics of the transformer core structure plays a significant role in the noise generation process. The reported work focuses on the influence of lamination of th...

In the paper, a compact complex impedance transformer (CIT) composed of cascading three varactors loaded coupled lines and two variable shunt susceptances was proposed. Highly flexible tunability functions including only frequency tunable, both tunable can be achieved by tuning capacitance types value susceptance. Design equations were derived using even–odd mode analysis examples are given for...

A pumping system powered from Photovoltaic array is modeled and simulated using Matlab Simulink. Detailed evaluation of energy processing in Photovoltaic pumping system is presented. A low voltage DC is stepped by using DC to DC Push -Pull converter. DC output from the PV Cell is converted into high frequency AC using a Push Pull Inverter. This is stepped up to 200v using a high frequency steps...

Purpose – The power transformer is one of the most important pieces of equipment in a power system. The necessity for the optimum design of a power transformer arises because the design chosen should satisfy all the limitations and restrictions placed on it. This paper presents an improved fast evolutionary programming (IFEP) technique for the optimal design of a three-phase power transformer. ...

The conventional high-frequency phase-shifted zerovoltage-switching (ZVS) full-bridge dc/dc converter has a disadvantage, in that a circulating current flows through transformer and switching devices during the freewheeling interval. Due to this circulating current, rms current stress, conduction losses of the transformer and switching devices are increased. To alleviate this problem, this pape...

Signals in a two-channel quadrature mirror filter bank are decomposed into low and high frequency components. Similarly, analytic signals can be extracted from the original signal with only positive or negative frequency contents. Multirate systems based on this idea are called quadrature mirror Hilbert transformers. Just like the case of quadrature mirror filter banks, the FIR and IIR designs ...

State monitoring is very important for the safe operation of high-voltage transformers. A non-contact vibro-acoustic detection method based on the Blind Source Separation (BSS) was proposed in this paper to promote the development of transformer on-line monitoring technology. Firstly, the algorithm of Sparse Component Analysis (SCA) was applied for the adaptive extraction of vibro-acoustic sign...

This paper presents an approach to the design of a novel dual-band power divider with variable power dividing ratio. To achieve dual-band operation, a novel dual-band quarter-wave length transformer based on coupled-lines is proposed, which is used to replace the quarter-wave length transformer in Wilkinson power divider. The proposed dual-band power divider features a simple compact planar str...
