High-power high-frequency transformers have important application value in rail transit, power distribution and other fields. Compared with the traditional power frequency transformer, on the one hand, the application scenarios and voltage, current and frequency levels of high frequency transformers are diverse, and the empirical design method of the traditional transformer is no longer applicable. On the other hand, the large volume reduction at high frequency makes the insulation and heat dissipation problems of the transformer more serious. It is necessary to carry out accurate modeling of multi-physics fields for high-frequency transformers, convert the design problem into multi-objective optimization problems, and realize the comprehensive optimization design of power density and efficiency of the transformer. Based on this, the main research contents of this thesis include:In the research of insulation electric field modeling, an eight-column equivalent model based on the multiple iterative mirroring method was first proposed, which transformed the electric field distribution solution of the actual complex geometric structure transformer into the electric field distribution solution of eight charged cylinders in space, reducing the computational complexity. The proposed model can improve the accuracy of transformer insulation electric field.In the research of leakage inductance modeling, based on the superposition theorem and the Rogowski height equivalent method, a general accurate analytical model of leakage inductance suitable for transformers with non-ideal geometric structures is proposed. Based on this model, a new degree of freedom for leakage inductance adjustment is obtained. The thesis also strictly proved the upper and lower bounds of the leakage inductance based on this degree of freedom, and give a precise adjustment method for the leakage inductance of the transformer within this boundary range, so as to realize the flexible design of the transformer.In the research of loss modeling, an accurate analytical model for the AC loss of hollow copper conductor winding of high frequency transformer is proposed. In this model, the hollow copper conductor winding is equivalent to the parallel connection of multiple copper foil windings with different conductivities. It provides a theoretical basis for the optimization design of high-power high-frequency transformers using hollow copper conductor windings.In the research of temperature field modeling, a lumped parameter thermal resistance network that comprehensively considers structure thermal anisotropy and multiple heat dissipation methods is proposed. The thermal resistance network also consideres the coupling effect of loss and temperature, which greatly improves the calculation accuracy of the model.In the research of transformer optimization design, a heat dissipation structure with high heat dissipation efficiency based on custom-made water-cooled plates and high thermal conductivity aluminum block filling is firstly proposed. Under this structure, a general theoretical parameter optimization design method for high-frequency transformers is proposed. Based on the theoretical optimization results, the thesis focus on solving the technical problems in the process of prototype production, and finally realize a high-power density and high-efficiency transformer prototype that matches the theoretical results.The research results of this thesis provide an overall optimization design scheme for the high-power high-frequency transformer, and have important reference value for improving the power density, operating efficiency and reliability of the transformer.
