Optimizing the Tapped Transformers Structure
To have an efficient energy flow and accomplish voltage regulation, it is common to find taped transformers in the power system and in electronics. By optimizing their structure their thermal stability, energy losses and performance increase. Here, to achieve greater adaptability of loads, lower leakage inductance and better control of voltage, several modifications of design suggested in this article are investigated including optimum tap position, the type of core material and the winding schemes. A well-optimized tapped design of transformer has the promising capacity to enhance efficiency significantly and reduce operation-costs as revealed in simulation and laboratory investigation. The paper provides meaningful insights in the development of small, reliable and energy efficient transformers that could be used in smart grid and modern power electronic applications.
