Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of transformer optimization, and in particular to a transformer optimization design method and system based on a bionic swarm intelligence algorithm. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the prior art, transformer design is a key link in the manufacturing of power equipment. The traditional method mainly relies on manual experience and the assistance of software tools for optimization. On the one hand, the early design method relies on the experience of designers for manual calculation and parameter adjustment. Although the operation is intuitive, the efficiency is low, the design period is long, and it is seriously dependent on the experience level of the designer, and it is difficult to achieve global optimization. On the other hand, the modern method uses computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA) software for simulation and iterative optimization. Although the calculation accuracy is improved, manual intervention is still required, which limits the number of design schemes explored and easily falls into a local optimal solution, and cannot fully tap the potential of cost reduction and efficiency improvement. In the prior art, optimization algorithms (such as genetic algorithms or particle swarm algorithms) attempt to achieve automatic optimization, but generally have slow convergence speed, complex parameter setting, and early convergence problems. When dealing with high-dimensional and complex constraint transformer design problems, it is difficult to find a global optimal solution.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference signs represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0019] In the present application, the term "comprising" or "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without more limitations, the element defined by the statement "including a" does not exclude the presence of another identical element in the process, method, article or device including the element.

[0020] A transformer optimization design method based on a biomimetic swarm intelligence algorithm, such as Figure 1 As shown, the transformer optimization design method includes the following steps: S1: Determine the optimization objective and constraints of the transformer. The optimization objective includes minimizing the total cost over the entire life cycle, and the constraints include performance index limitations. It should be noted that the optimization objective refers to the core goal to be achieved in transformer design, such as minimizing the total life-cycle cost, including material and operating costs. Constraints refer to the performance limits that must be met during transformer design, such as upper limits for no-load loss, load loss, temperature rise, and short-circuit impedance. In step S1, the optimization objective and constraints determine the direction and boundaries of the design, providing clear objectives and constraints for the subsequent optimization process.

[0021] Understandably, the purpose of step S1 is to clarify the optimization direction and constraints of the design. By defining the optimization objective (such as minimizing the total lifecycle cost), a clear optimization direction can be provided for subsequent optimization algorithms. At the same time, by defining constraints (such as performance index limits), it can be ensured that the optimization results meet the actual engineering requirements. This clear definition can effectively avoid the blindness of the optimization process and improve design efficiency.

[0022] S2: Based on the optimization objective and constraints, a parameterized transformer analysis model is constructed. The parameterized transformer analysis model is used to calculate the total life cycle cost and performance indicators according to the design variables. It should be noted that the parametric transformer analysis model refers to a model that uses mathematical formulas and physical models to link the transformer's design variables (such as core diameter, magnetic flux density, number of winding turns, etc.) with optimization objectives (such as total life cycle cost) and constraints (such as performance indicators). The role of the parametric transformer analysis model is to quickly calculate the corresponding total life cycle cost and performance indicators based on the input design variables, providing a computational basis for subsequent optimization algorithms.

[0023] Understandably, the purpose of step S2 is to transform the physical process of transformer design into a computable mathematical model. Through parametric modeling, the complex transformer design problem can be decomposed into a series of quantifiable and optimizable mathematical expressions, thereby providing a foundation for the optimization solution of biomimetic swarm intelligence algorithms. This parametric model can not only improve computational efficiency, but also ensure the accuracy and reliability of the optimization process.

[0024] S3: applying a bionic swarm intelligence algorithm to the parameterized transformer analysis model for optimization solving to search for a globally optimal design parameter combination under the premise of meeting the constraint conditions, wherein the bionic swarm intelligence algorithm simulates the behavior of biological groups for global exploration and local development; It should be noted that the bionic swarm intelligence algorithm is an optimization algorithm that simulates the behavior of biological groups in nature (such as honey bees collecting nectar and birds foraging), and its core idea is to achieve a balance between global exploration and local development through the cooperation and information sharing of the group. The role of the bionic swarm intelligence algorithm is to search for a globally optimal design parameter combination that meets the constraint conditions according to the parameterized transformer analysis model.

[0025] It can be understood that the purpose of step S3 is to use the global search ability and local development ability of the bionic swarm intelligence algorithm to solve the high-dimensional, nonlinear, and multi-constraint optimization problem in transformer design. By simulating the behavior of biological groups (such as the behavior of honey bees collecting nectar), the bionic swarm intelligence algorithm can efficiently explore the design space and find the optimal design scheme that meets the performance indicators and has the lowest cost. The advantage of this algorithm is that it can jump out of the local optimal solution and find the global optimal solution.

[0026] S4: verifying the globally optimal design parameter combination to determine whether it meets all performance standards.

[0027] It should be noted that verification refers to high-precision checking of the globally optimal design parameter combination obtained through optimization using professional finite element analysis (FEA) software or other verification tools to ensure that its performance indicators fully meet the actual engineering requirements. Performance standards refer to industry standards or user requirements that the transformer design must meet, such as no-load loss standards, temperature rise standards, etc.

[0028] It can be understood that the purpose of step S4 is to ensure the feasibility and reliability of the optimization result. Since the optimization process of the bionic swarm intelligence algorithm is based on the parameterized model, which may have certain simplifications and approximations, it is necessary to verify the optimization result through high-precision finite element analysis or other verification means to effectively avoid design problems caused by model errors and ensure that the final scheme meets all performance standards.

[0029] Preferably, the objective function of minimizing the total life cycle cost , satisfies the relationship: ; Wherein, the material cost , represents the weight of silicon steel sheet, represents the unit price of silicon steel sheet, represents the weight of copper wire, represents the unit price of copper wire, represents the insulation material cost, represents the remaining material cost; operating cost , represents the no-load loss capitalization coefficient, represents the no-load loss, represents the load loss capitalization coefficient, represents the load loss, represents the design variable vector including at least one of core diameter, magnetic flux density, current density, and winding turns.

[0030] It should be noted that the objective function refers to a mathematical expression used to measure the pros and cons of the design scheme in transformer optimization design, and the purpose is to minimize the total life cycle cost. Material cost includes the cost of silicon steel sheet, copper wire, insulation material and other materials required for transformer manufacturing; operating cost refers to the long-term operating cost due to loss (no-load loss and load loss) during the operation of the transformer. Design variable vector refers to the key parameters that affect the performance and cost of the transformer, such as core diameter, winding turns, magnetic flux density, etc. These parameters are adjusted in the optimization process to minimize the objective function .

[0031] It can be understood that by mathematical modeling, the total life cycle cost of the transformer is divided into material cost and operating cost, and they are integrated into the objective function This decomposition and integration can clearly quantify the cost composition of transformer design, thereby providing a clear optimization direction for subsequent optimization algorithms. By minimizing the objective function , the comprehensive optimization of material and operating cost can be achieved to achieve the design goal of reducing cost and increasing efficiency.

[0032] Exemplarily, in the optimization design of a certain distribution transformer, the construction and calculation of the objective function are as follows: assuming that the weight of silicon steel sheet is 50 kg, the unit price is 5 yuan / kg, then the cost of silicon steel sheet is 250 yuan; the weight of copper wire is 10 kg, the unit price is 60 yuan / kg, then the cost of copper wire is 600 yuan; the cost of insulation material is 200 yuan, the cost of other materials is 150 yuan. The total material cost is 1200 yuan. In terms of operating cost, the no-load loss is 150 W, the capitalization coefficient is 0.1, then the no-load loss capitalization cost is 15 yuan; the load loss is 500 W, the capitalization coefficient is 0.05, then the load loss capitalization cost is 25 yuan, the total operating cost is 40 yuan, and finally the total life cycle cost is 1240 yuan. By adjusting the design variables (such as core diameter, winding turns, etc.), the objective function can be further optimized to find a lower-cost design scheme.

[0033] Preferably, the performance index limits include an upper limit of no-load loss, an upper limit of load loss, an upper limit of temperature rise, and a short-circuit impedance range; The performance index limits are introduced into the objective function by a penalty function method to construct a modified objective function: ; wherein, represents the violation degree of the i-th constraint condition, represents a penalty factor for controlling the penalty intensity of constraint violation.

[0034] It should be noted that the constraint conditions refer to performance index limits that must be met in the transformer design process, such as no-load loss, load loss, temperature rise, short-circuit impedance, etc. These constraint conditions ensure the performance and safety of the transformer in actual operation. The modified objective function is constructed based on the original objective function by introducing a penalty function method, which is used to penalize design schemes that violate constraint conditions during optimization. The penalty factor is a positive number that controls the penalty intensity of constraint violation, ensuring that the optimization algorithm prioritizes finding feasible solutions that meet the constraint conditions. The constraint violation degree represents the violation degree of the i-th constraint condition by the design scheme, and if the constraint condition is met, .

[0035] It can be understood that by integrating the constraint conditions into the objective function through the penalty function method, the optimization process can simultaneously consider cost minimization and performance index limits. In transformer design, performance index limits such as the upper limit of no-load loss and the upper limit of temperature rise are red lines that cannot be exceeded. Any design scheme must meet these basic requirements. By introducing the penalty function method into the objective function, design schemes that violate constraint conditions will be penalized, and their objective function values will significantly increase, thus being automatically excluded by the optimization algorithm. This method can effectively guide the optimization algorithm to search within the feasible solution space, avoiding the generation of design schemes that do not meet actual engineering requirements. Meanwhile, the introduction of the penalty factor can adjust the penalty intensity, ensuring the stability and convergence of the optimization process.

[0036] Illustratively, in a certain transformer optimization design project, the design requirements are as follows: the upper limit of no-load loss is 150 W, the upper limit of load loss is 500 W, the upper limit of temperature rise is 55°C, and the short-circuit impedance range is 4%-6%. Assuming the penalty factor , for a certain design scheme, its no-load loss is 160 W (exceeding the upper limit by 10 W), load loss is 480 W (meeting the upper limit), temperature rise is 54°C (meeting the upper limit), and short-circuit impedance is 5.5% (meeting the range). At this time, the constraint violation degree​​ (Exceeding the no-load loss limit), all other constraints are met, therefore The penalty term is 100,000. Original objective function value. The objective function value is adjusted to 1240 yuan (including material and operating costs). Due to the impact of the penalty term, the objective function value of the design scheme increases significantly. The optimization algorithm will prioritize eliminating such schemes that do not meet the constraints, thereby ensuring that the final optimal design scheme satisfies both performance requirements and has a lower cost.

[0037] Preferably, step S3 includes: Initialize the nectar source population, where each nectar source represents one of the design variable vectors; Calculate the fitness value for each nectar source, the fitness value Satisfying the relation: ,in This represents the modified objective function; New nectar source parameters are generated by employing bees to conduct local searches. The following relation is satisfied: ,in, Indicates the current honey source's number One parameter, This represents the first nectar source randomly selected from another nectar source. One parameter, Represents a random number. The first nectar source population Individual; By observing bees selecting nectar sources based on selection probability, we can understand the selection probability... Satisfying the relation: ; New nectar sources are generated by replacing unimproved nectar sources with scout bees. ,in Indicates the lower limit of the design variable. Indicates the upper limit of design variables. Represents a random number; Iteratively execute the search process until the convergence condition is met, and output the globally optimal combination of design parameters. .

[0038] It should be noted that initializing the bee population means generating a set of random design variable vectors at the beginning of the optimization algorithm, each vector representing a potential design scheme. The fitness value represents the degree of excellence of each design scheme, which is calculated by the modified objective function, and is used to evaluate whether the scheme meets the performance indicators and cost requirements. The hired bee represents an agent that performs local search on the current design scheme, generates new design scheme parameters through a specific formula, explores the solution space, and finds better solutions. The observation bee selects the honey source according to the selection probability, which is related to the fitness value, and the higher the fitness value, the greater the probability of being selected. The scout bee is responsible for replacing the scheme that has not been improved for a long time, introducing a new random scheme, increasing the diversity of the population, and the iteration process continues until the preset number of iterations is reached or the convergence condition is met, and finally the global optimal design parameter combination is output.

[0039] It can be understood that through each step of the artificial bee colony algorithm, the global optimization of the transformer design parameters is realized. The artificial bee colony algorithm simulates the honey collecting behavior of bees, utilizes the different roles of hired bees, observation bees and scout bees, and cooperatively completes the exploration and development of the design space. Initializing the bee population provides a diverse initial solution for the algorithm, and the fitness value calculation can quantify the quality of each solution. The local search of the hired bee and the selection mechanism of the observation bee can efficiently find better solutions in the solution space, while the random replacement of the scout bee avoids the algorithm from falling into local optimum. Through iterative optimization, the algorithm can gradually approach the global optimal solution, and finally output the design scheme that meets the performance constraints and has the lowest total life cycle cost.

[0040] For example, in a certain transformer optimization design project, it is assumed that the initial population size is 50 honey sources, each honey source represents a design scheme, and the design variables include core diameter, winding turns, etc. The fitness value of each scheme is calculated, for example, the modified objective function value of a certain scheme is 101240, and its fitness value is 1 / (1+101240)= The hired bee performs local search on the current scheme, generates new parameters, for example, adjusts the core diameter from 0.5m to 0.52m. The observation bee selects the honey source according to the selection probability, and the scheme with higher probability is more likely to be selected. If a certain scheme has not been improved for 20 consecutive iterations, the scout bee replaces it with a new random scheme, for example, adjusts the winding turns from 1200 turns to 1100 turns. After multiple iterations, the global optimal design parameter combination is finally obtained, which has the lowest total life cycle cost and meets all performance constraints.

[0041] Preferably, the parametric transformer analysis model includes an electromagnetic calculation model, and the electromagnetic calculation model includes: a model for calculating the effective cross-sectional area of the core, the effective cross-sectional area of the core satisfying the relationship: ; wherein, represents a core lamination coefficient, represents a core diameter; based on the core effective cross-sectional area calculates a core magnetic flux density amplitude satisfies the relationship: ; wherein, represents a voltage per turn, represents a power supply frequency, represents a winding number of turns; calculates a winding resistance satisfies the relationship: wherein represents a conductor resistivity, represents an average length of turns of the winding, represents a wire cross-sectional area; calculates a no-load loss satisfies the relationship: wherein, represents an iron loss coefficient, represents a Steinmetz index, represents a core weight; calculates a load loss satisfies the relationship: , and wherein represents an eddy current loss coefficient, represents a winding phase current, represents a winding resistance; calculates a short-circuit impedance satisfies the relationship: ; wherein, represents a leakage magnetic area, represents a Rogowski coefficient, represents a process coefficient, represents a winding reactance height, represents a transformer capacity.

[0042] It should be noted that the electromagnetic calculation model is an important part of the parameterized transformer analysis model, and is used to calculate key electromagnetic performance indicators of the transformer. The core effective cross-sectional area refers to the effective area of the core actually used for the magnetic flux path, which takes into account the lamination structure of the core. The core magnetic flux density amplitude refers to the maximum value of the magnetic flux density in the core, which directly affects the no-load loss. The winding resistance refers to the direct current resistance of the winding, which affects the load loss. The no-load loss Mainly composed of core hysteresis and eddy current loss, is an important part of the transformer operating cost. Load loss Mainly caused by winding resistance and current, reflects the transformer's loss when running under load. Short circuit impedance Refers to the impedance voltage of the transformer under short circuit conditions, affecting the load capacity and voltage stability of the transformer. These parameters are interrelated through electromagnetic calculation models, which together determine the performance and cost of the transformer.

[0043] It can be understood that the key electromagnetic performance indicators of the transformer are accurately calculated through the electromagnetic calculation model, providing accurate data support for optimal design. The electromagnetic calculation model is based on the basic physical principles of the transformer, relating design variables (such as core diameter, winding turns, etc.) to performance indicators (such as no-load loss, load loss, short circuit impedance, etc.). By accurately calculating these performance indicators, designers can evaluate the pros and cons of different design schemes, thereby minimizing the total life cycle cost while meeting performance requirements. The accuracy of the electromagnetic calculation model directly determines the reliability and economy of the optimization results.

[0044] Exemplarily, in a certain transformer optimization design project, the design requirements are as follows: core lamination coefficient , core diameter , voltage per turn , power frequency , winding turns , conductor resistivity , average length of winding turns , wire cross-sectional area , iron loss coefficient , Steinmetz index , core weight , eddy current loss coefficient , winding phase current , leakage magnetic area , Rogowski coefficient , process coefficient , winding reactance height , load loss , transformer capacity . According to the above parameters, the effective cross-sectional area of the core , core magnetic flux density amplitude , winding resistance , no-load loss , load loss , short circuit impedance The accurate performance evaluation provided for the optimization algorithm helps the designer to find the design scheme with the lowest cost under the premise of meeting the performance requirements.

[0046] It should be noted that the temperature rise calculation model is an important part of the parameterized transformer analysis model, which is used to evaluate the temperature change of the transformer during operation. The top oil temperature rise refers to the temperature difference between the top oil temperature of the transformer and the ambient temperature, reflecting the overall heat dissipation performance of the transformer. The winding hot spot temperature rise refers to the temperature difference between the hottest point in the winding and the top oil temperature, reflecting the heat distribution in the winding. The winding hot spot absolute temperature refers to the actual temperature of the hottest point in the winding, which is an important indicator for evaluating the insulation performance and operational safety of the transformer.

By accurately calculating the top oil temperature rise and winding hot spot temperature rise, the designer can evaluate the thermal performance of different design schemes, so as to minimize the total cost of the whole life cycle under the premise of meeting the thermal performance requirements. The accuracy of the temperature rise calculation model directly determines the reliability and safety of the optimization results.

According to the current design scheme, the total loss is 600W, the load loss is 450W, the calculated top oil temperature rise is 52.3°C; the winding hot spot temperature rise is 58.7°C; the winding hot spot absolute temperature is 40+52.3+58.7=151°C, which provides accurate thermal performance evaluation for the optimization algorithm, helping the designer to find the design scheme with the lowest cost under the premise of meeting the thermal performance requirements.
