Abstract
Description
A method, dielectric, and program product for structural optimization of a superconducting toroidal hollow reactor. Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of superconducting power application design technology, and in particular to a structural optimization method, dielectric, and program product for a superconducting toroidal hollow reactor. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous rise in electricity demand and the ongoing expansion of power system size and capacity, reactive power compensation and overvoltage issues in long-distance high-voltage transmission have become more severe. In this context, shunt reactors play a crucial role, mitigating these problems by adjusting reactive power balance, thereby optimizing voltage distribution, reducing line losses, and improving the overall efficiency of the power grid.
[0003] In existing power systems, reactors are mainly classified into two types: air-core and iron-core. Iron-core reactors are characterized by a high-permeability iron core and a closed magnetic circuit, which helps to confine the magnetic field primarily within the reactor. However, iron-core reactors suffer from magnetic saturation, leading to inductance nonlinearity and relatively high operating noise. In contrast, air-core reactors are favored for their stable inductance and low-noise characteristics. However, with the increasing complexity of power systems, the footprint and electromagnetic compatibility issues of reactors have become more prominent, especially in space-constrained urban centers.
[0004] To address these issues, researchers proposed a toroidal hollow reactor design. This structure effectively confines the magnetic field within the reactor, reducing magnetic field leakage. Furthermore, reactors fabricated using superconducting materials operate at liquid nitrogen temperatures, exhibiting zero resistance. They also offer advantages such as high current density, light weight, compact size, and low noise, making them an ideal choice for urban power grids.
[0005] Given the high cost of high-temperature superconducting tapes, economic analysis of superconducting reactors is particularly important. Simultaneously, considering the need for superconducting reactors to operate in cryogenic environments, cooling power costs also become a significant factor. Therefore, the cost optimization objective of reactors primarily focuses on reducing tape and cooling costs while ensuring that device parameters meet requirements. Through this comprehensive consideration, researchers urgently need to design economical and efficient superconducting reactors to meet the needs of modern power systems, specifically a structural optimization method for superconducting toroidal hollow reactors.

[0048] The purpose of this invention is to propose a structural optimization method for superconducting toroidal hollow reactors. Through joint simulation using MATLAB and COMSOL, the structural parameters of the superconducting reactor are calculated to achieve the lowest total cost and improve economic efficiency. This invention optimizes the structural parameters of the superconducting reactor using joint simulation with MATLAB and COMSOL, achieving the lowest total cost and improved economic efficiency. The optimization variables are the structural parameters of the reactor, including the inner diameter of the coil, the toroidal radius, the number of coils, the number of coil turns, and the number of parallel branches. The optimization objectives are to minimize the amount of strip material used, minimize AC losses, and minimize the total cost. The optimization algorithm adopts a multi-objective genetic algorithm. This invention can be used for structural optimization of superconducting reactors of different capacities. By setting constraints, the structural parameters with the lowest cost under different indicators can be obtained, improving the economic efficiency of reactor design.
[0049] The superconducting toroidal air-core reactor is divided into three phases. Each single-phase reactor consists of multiple circular double-pane coils, which are uniformly arranged in a ring around the central axis with a certain radius, as shown in Figure 1. Here, R is the ring radius, r is the inner radius of a single coil, nt is the number of turns, nc is the number of coils, and D is the diameter of the entire reactor.
[0050] The working principle of a superconducting reactor is as follows: When the load in a line is small or the end is open, power frequency overvoltage will occur due to the capacitive effect of a long line. Since inductance and capacitance are out of phase, the operation of the reactor will compensate for the capacitive effect of the line, limit the rise of power frequency voltage in the system, and achieve local reactive power absorption. By selecting a suitable inductor to make the inductor and capacitor resonate in parallel, the capacitive effect is completely eliminated.
[0051] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Component models, material names, connection structures, control methods, algorithms, and other features not explicitly described in this technical solution are considered common technical features disclosed in the prior art.

[0065] S5. Optimization Iteration: Use a multi-objective genetic algorithm to iteratively optimize the structural parameters until the optimal solution set with the minimum strip material usage and the lowest AC loss is found.
[0066] Specifically, the following steps are included:
[0067] Initialize the population: Randomly generate a set of individuals, each representing a potential solution, including the inner diameter of the coil, the winding radius, the number of coil turns, the number of coils, and the number of parallel branches;

[0079] In the superconducting toroidal hollow reactor, each coil is a double-pane coil, which is wound around once and connected in series and parallel with each other through metal parts, and finally divided into multiple parallel branches.
[0080] The working principle of this invention is based on a multi-objective genetic algorithm, which optimizes the structural parameters of a superconducting toroidal hollow reactor by simulating natural selection and genetic mechanisms. The algorithm initializes a population containing multiple potential solutions, each solution representing a set of structural parameters of the reactor. These parameters include the coil inner diameter, winding radius, number of coil turns, number of coils, and number of parallel branches, which together determine the reactor's performance, such as the amount of tape used and AC losses.
[0081] During the iteration process, the algorithm evaluates the fitness of each individual, i.e., its performance in a multi-objective function aimed at minimizing tape usage and AC loss. Through selection, crossover, and mutation operations, the population continuously evolves, gradually approaching the Pareto optimal front. The Pareto optimal front consists of a set of non-dominated solutions that provide the optimal trade-off among the multiple objectives.
[0082] Ultimately, the algorithm converges to an optimal solution set, representing the reactor structural parameters that achieve the lowest cost while satisfying design constraints. These parameters consider not only the physical properties of the superconducting material but also cooling and manufacturing costs, ensuring the reactor's economy and efficiency in practical applications. Using the method of this invention, designers can quickly find the reactor design best suited for specific application requirements, thereby improving the performance and reducing the cost of superconducting reactors.

The optimization variables are the structural parameters of the 10kV / 1MVar reactor; the optimization objectives are to minimize the amount of strip material used and the AC loss; and the optimization method employs a multi-objective genetic algorithm. The specific process is as follows:
[0085] 1. First, initialize the variables, including the inner diameter of the coil, the winding radius, the number of coil turns, the number of coils, and the number of parallel branches.
[0086] 2. Adjust the number of turns in the reactor coil to achieve an inductance of 0.318H, meeting the design specification of 1Mvar. This is divided into coarse adjustment and fine adjustment. Coarse adjustment calculates the inductance using the Newman formula in MATLAB, while fine adjustment calculates the inductance using the COMSOL magnetic energy method.
[0087] 3. After adjusting the number of turns, calculate the critical current and determine whether the critical current, inductance, and geometry meet the constraints. If not, reinitialize the variables; if they do, continue to the next step.
[0088] 4. Calculate the amount of material used in the reactor and the AC loss using an equivalent COMSOL model. Once the population generation reaches a set value, output the optimal solution set.
