HEAT DISSIPATION PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS AND STRUCTURAL PARAMETER OPTIMIZATION OF OIL-IMMERSED TRANSFORMER BASED ON FLOW-THERMAL COUPLING FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

ABSTRACT
In this paper, a coupled flow-thermal field simulation model is established based on the parameters of the transformer. Then the distribution of the flow and thermal fields are obtained. The results show that oil backflow occurs to varying degrees at the top and bottom of the transformer. In addition, with the formation of backflow, the hot spot temperature of the transformer increases. Through the combination of orthogonal experiments and finite element method, the geometric structure of winding oil passage is selected as the optimization variable. The law between the winding structure and the maximum temperature is acquired by means of range and variance analysis, and the optimal parameters are obtained. The hot spot temperature is reduced by 34.27 K compared to the pre-optimization period, which is a guideline for the design of transformers.
