Design method for high-power high-frequency magnetic-resonance air-core transformer

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to study the multi-objective optimization design method of high-power high-frequency magnetic-resonance air-core transformer (ACT).

Design/methodology/approach

First, this paper studies the interleaved winding technology, the process of modeling and simulation, the calculation method of high-frequency loss of Litz wire and the design of magnetic shielding in detail. Second, the multi-objective optimization design process of high-frequency magnetic-resonance ACT is established by parametric scanning method and orthogonal experiment method.

Findings

An ACT model of 2 kV/100 kW/81.34 kHz was designed. The efficiency, weight power density and volume power density are 99.61%, 21.6 kW/kg and 5.1 kW/kg, respectively. Finally, the multi-physical field coupling simulation method is used to calculate the port excitation voltages and currents and temperature field of ACT. The maximum temperature of the ACT is 95.5 °C, which meets the design requirements.

Originality/value

The above research provides guidance and basis for the optimization design of high-power high-frequency magnetic-resonance ACT.
