Optimal Design of Transformer Cores Using DEAS

DEAS를 이용한 변압기 코아의 최적설계

This paper introduces an optimal design technique for a 250-watt isolation transformer using a recently developed optimization method, dynamic encoding algorithm for searches(DRAS). Although the optimal design technique for transformers dates back to 1970s and local optimization is often undertaken using FEM nowadays, literature concerning global optimization of transformer cores is rarely found against its importance. In this paper, a small isolation transformer is used as a model to be optimized with application of DEAS to corresponding mathematical description. The optimization result confirms that DEAS can be successfully employed to design transformer cores for various design specifications only by changing cost functions.
