Equivalent Circuit Parameters for Power Transformer and Implementation of Open and Short Circuit Test Simulation in Matlab (SIMULINK)

Abstract

Abstract This paper describes the power transformer, its basic mode of operation, parts, and construction. Equivalent circuit parameters are defined, and the methods of their determination are explained. A model of the transformer in Simulink was made and the process of its production is described. The created transformer model was then simulated through open and short circuit experiments. The values of the parameters obtained by the simulation were compared with the actual values and conclusions were drawn. The main goal of this work is to determine the precision of the operation of the transformer model in Simulink, and based on the obtained results, the same model can be used in algorithms for checking the operation of the entire power system.
