Abstract

The main intent of the power transformer design optimization in the tendering stage is to find those mechanical and electrical parameters, which minimize the machines’ total cost of the ownership by reducing the different power losses and the manufacturing costs. To find the optimal transformer design parameters and make them harmonize with the economic constraints is a labour intensive task, because these quantities are linked with complex trade-off and physical functions. The capitalization of the load and no-load losses facilitate this process. The focus of this paper is to examine the sensitivity of the design parameters from the capitalization factors. Three different scenarios are presented and analysed in this paper, where the transformers are connected to various stochastic or schedulable green power generation resources. This paper presents the optimal transformer design’s dependency from the various scenarios of different green power generation resources.
