Design and Manufacturing Requirement of Solar Application Transformer

Abstract

In the renewable edge of energy sector, solar energy is playing important role. Gujarat itself has a second largest solar park in the world. Transformer is a vital link in the power system, which is connected in the network at different stages right from the generating station to the user's premises. Transformer required in solar park to transfer energy from PV panels to grid is known as solar application transformer. As solar park is at very recent edge of development in India, designing and development of solar application transformer has good space of research. Transformers are operating on same principle of electromagnetic induction. However, designs are differ as per its application. This project include study of requirement of solar application transformer and appropriate change in design of its active part due to special requirements. In the next phase ow chart development of design procedure and detail design which includes required parameters calculation according to ow chart is done. In the last phase of this project simulation results of created 3D model,based on design of active part of transformer,under different conditions and for different plots are presented which itself validate the design of transformer.
