, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Vakilian, Mehdi (Supervisor)
Abstract
The work starts with comparison of 3D-wound core transformers against the conventional transformers using the published research results. The past works on transformer short circuit force calculation are reviewed. An algorithm is developed to design 3D-wound core distribution transformers. To determine the maximum short circuit forces, currents in different type of short circuits have been calculated. The worst case in different core configurations and different type of winding connections is determined. Different analytical methods are investigated for transformer short circuit force calculation. Two-dimensional and three-dimensioal finite element methods (using Comsol software) employed to...

Abstract
High-temperature superconducting (HTS) transformers have a promising feature in reduction of total weight, total size, and the losses of large-scale distribution transformers. However, the lower leakage reactance of HTS transformers results in a higher short-circuit fault currents and electromagnetic forces. Therefore, optimization of short-circuit electromagnetic forces is one of the crucial aspects in the design of HTS transformers. In this paper, a novel analytical method is proposed for determination of optimum distributive ratios resulting in minimization of these forces for asymmetrical multi-segment windings of an HTS transformer. Employing these distributive ratios, radial and axial...

Abstract
High-temperature superconducting (HTS) transformers have remarkable appealing advantages over conventional ones. But higher brittleness of HTS windings with respect to copper windings makes HTS transformers more vulnerable in short circuit and inrush current situations. During tap changer operation, appreciable asymmetry and non-uniform distribution of ampere-turn along the windings causes high axial component of short circuit forces and makes the situation more severe. In this paper, multi-segment winding method is employed for reduction of axial short circuit forces. An analytical method is presented for calculation of axial component of short circuit forces under tap changer operation....

Abstract
Mitigation and control of leakage fluxes and short circuit forces needs much more attention, for a high-temperature superconducting (HTS) transformer, than for a conventional one. Different methods such as the application of auxiliary windings, multi-segment winding, and flux diverter have been presented in the literatures for leakage magnetic field reduction in HTS transformers. In this paper, for the first time, optimal design of auxiliary windings has been performed for a 132/13.8 kV, 50 MVA three phase core type HTS transformer. Genetic algorithm (GA) has been used for the optimization process. Induced current in auxiliary windings which is inversely proportional to the leakage fluxes...

Abstract
Presence of defects, conducting particles, nonconducting particles, and nitrogen gas bubbles in the insulation system of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) transformers, mainly inside the liquid nitrogen as its major insulation, can create local field enhancement and consequently partial discharges which eventually lead to the catastrophic failure of the transformer. In this paper, two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric finite element method (FEM) modeling via COMSOL Multiphysics software has been utilized for the investigation of the impact of size and shape of conducting particles and nitrogen gas bubbles on partial discharge (PD) activities in liquid nitrogen. Conducting particles of...

Abstract
The appealing advantages of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) power transformers over conventional ones have attracted transformer manufacturing companies, power companies, research institutes, and universities worldwide to conduct research and development in this field. Unfortunately, HTS transformers are more vulnerable to mechanical stresses than conventional transformers. The results of the interaction between current carrying windings and leakage magnetic fluxes are the electromagnetic forces, which act on transformer windings. Under short circuit events, these forces are remarkable, and, therefore, catastrophic failure of transformer may arise. Flux-diverter applications have been...

Abstract
3D wound core is a newly proposed core structure, which is used for construction of distribution transformers. Although many advantages have been proposed for transformer with 3D wound core and it has found increasing application in some countries such as China and Iran, no model has been presented so far in the literature for such transformers. In this paper, a low frequency model, derived based on the duality principle for transformer with 3D wound core, which can be used for both steady state and low-frequency transient studies. The validity of the model in steady state condition is then verified by experimental results. © 2017 IEEE

Abstract
High-temperature superconducting (HTS) transformers with multi-segment windings have been proposed in earlier literatures for the hysteresis loss reduction and short circuit electromagnetic force mitigation. The optimum distributive ratios for these multi-segment windings have been determined in earlier literatures. Asymmetrical seven segment winding with its optimum distributive ratio (k = 1/12) results in minimization of short circuit electromagnetic forces under normal tap and any adjusted tap. However, insulation design and leakage inductance calculation for the multi-segment winding of an HTS transformer have not been addressed in past literatures. Insulation design is one of the most...

There are several methods for measuring thin film thickness, however, for the analysis of liquid film motors [1] we need a method which is capable of measuring the thickness using a single image of the film. In this work, we use the colors that appear on thin films, such as soup bubbles, which is a result of light interference to calculate the thickness of the layer

Abstract
By direct and alternating electric field applied to thin film of liquid suspended in the air we can spin out and control it. Rotation pattern depends on the geometry of the electrodes and the applied magnetic field. This is called a rotating liquid film (Liquid Film Motor). To determine the cause of rotation, different models have been proposed. In this project we have tried to check the accuracy of any of the models. Using particle velocimetry using the photo, we calculate the velocity pattern. Then, using the Navier-Stokes equation calculate the acceleration and viscosity from the velocity. Then, for a special arrangement using a finite diffrent method, electric potential and the electric...
