DESIGN OF REAL-WORLD ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING PRODUCTS USING FRONT-END 3D SIMULATION & OPTIMIZATION TECHNOLOGIES

POLOPT/ Optim: Module for Free-Form Optimization

Task: Minimize the maximal field quantities appearing directly on the interface between different media (electrode-dielectric) by changing the form of those interfaces.

Main application: Dielectric design of electrical apparatus (breakers, transformers, sensors, …)

  • Improve design to avoid possible breakdowns (breaker, transformers)
  • Make devices more compact and secure (all kind of electrical equipment)
  • Increase operational performances (sensor optimization)

Case study 1 : Optimization of the shielding electrodes in GCB

  • Automatic creation of the shielding electrodes is achieved
  • The distance between the contacts being on opposite voltage is reduced for 72%
  • On-line control of dielectric criteria guaranties that the breakdown can’t appear for the optimal forms
  • The final optimal shape is transferred back to CAD to enable easy manufacturing.
  • The experimental validation of the new optimal configuration is done in HV lab.
  • The experimental validation has entirely confirmed the simulation / optimization output.
