Optimal Oil Temperature at the Main Transformer Cooling System

주변압기 냉각시스템의 최적오일온도

In order to improve the efficiency of the main transformer in a tilting train, the optimal operation of a cooling system is necessary. Mathematical models of a main transformer cooling system were developed. These include models for the main transformer, the oil pump, the oil cooler, and the blower. The optimal oil temperature algorithm was also developed. This consists of the optimal setpoint algorithm and the control algorithm. A simulation program was developed by using mathematical models and the optimal oil temperature algorithm. Simulation results showed that the dynamic behavior of a main transformer cooling system was predicted well by mathematical models and a main transformer cooling system was controlled effectively by the optimal oil temperature algorithm.
