Temperature Characteristics Analysis and Guide Structure Optimization of Low-frequency Transformer Based on Multi-physics Field Simulation
In order to reduce the hot-spot temperature and internal temperature rise of oil-immersed power transformers under low-frequency operating conditions,an optimization analysis is carried out for the winding-area oriented structure of low-frequency transformers based on the multi-physical field coupling of electromagnetic-thermal-fluid fields.Through the finite element numerical analysis of the electromagnetic part of the transformer,the difference between the magnetic density distribution and loss characteristics of the low-frequency transformer and the power-frequency trans-former under the same working condition in the core and winding area is determined.And on this basis,the loss of the core and winding as a heat source is substituted into the fluid field and temperature field for simulation analysis to obtain the temperature and oil flow distribution of the transformer as a whole and the winding region locally.Finally,by con-structing the oil flow and heat transfer model in the winding region of 20 Hz low-frequency transformer and combining it with finite element simulation,the influences of the number and distribution of oil guiding baffles on the oil flow,average temperature and hot-spot temperature in the winding region are investigated,and the optimal distribution scheme of the guiding structure is obtained.The results show that the hot-spot temperature in the winding region of the 20 Hz low-frequency transformer decreases by 14.44%compared with the model without oil baffles,which provides an optimi-zation scheme for the compact design of the low-frequency transformer.
