Abstract:This study used the Area Elimination Method (AEM) of transformer design with transformer characteristic simulation. The multidimensional variable of physical parameters such as magnetic density, current density, voltage and coil turn was performed. This method was used in designing the 8000 kVA 22,000–3300/1905 V oil-type large distribution transformer. The result from a design found that the objective function tries to reduce the material to be used, and less core steel, less conductors, less transformer oil … Show more
“…Due to its effective, oxygen plasmas show a wide application in modifying surface functional for nanoelectronics device fabrication [26][27][28][29]. However, the desired properties of thin films are determined by the technique utilized together with deposition parameters, for example films materials, substrate, and deposition rate that could be provided vital properties like electrical and optical [30].…”
The surface characterization of indium tin oxide (ITO) films was processed by oxygen (O2) plasma gas using a magnetron sputtering method of varying O2-plasma gas from 20 sccm to 100 sccm for potentially fostering in electronic devices applications on dye-sensitize solar cells (DSSC) in this work. In order to gain an outstanding performance rate with high-quality thin films, the affect of correlation between the electrical, optical, and morphology properties was significantly investigated. Clearly, the content of investigation exhibited that the films properties was changed by variation of the gas composition. These changes have contemporary relevance to the sputtering gas during the deposition process. To conclude, the greatest electrical properties was displayed by O2 -plasma gas flow rate of 20 sccm, which showed the lowest resistivity. In addition to this, the final products were practically fabricated to active layers for dye-sensitize solar cells (DSSC) applications. The highest efficiency of DSSC device was indicated of approximately 0.35% which was located by 40 sccm of the O2-plasma gas. Consequently, the study could be a possibility way of preparing ITO thin films with improved special properties of substantial applications for solar cells devices in the near future.

Magnetic shunts efficiently mitigate losses caused by leakage currents in the tank walls of power transformers. Transformer manufacturers frequently utilize vertical magnetic shunts positioned on the inside surfaces of the transformer tank walls. This study investigated the optimum use of horizontal shunts in a power transformer. A 50 MVA power transformer, manufactured on a commercial scale and featuring optimized vertical magnetic shunts integrated into the wall structure, was analyzed using the 3D finite element method for 100 ms at full load. Simulations for analyses were performed using a commercial ANSYS Electronics Desktop 2021 R1 FEM software program. The model’s validity was demonstrated by verifying the analysis results with experimental tank loss values. Tank loss samples were obtained by analyzing the transformer tank for two milliseconds with vertical magnetic shunts only on the long front wall and the short side wall. Using these loss samples as a reference, parametric analyses were performed for two milliseconds with horizontal magnetic shunts only on the short side wall and only on the long front wall of the tank. A tank model with horizontal magnetic shunts of an appropriate location and size was obtained via the parametric analyses. This model was analyzed for 100 milliseconds at full load and compared with the experimental results of the transformer manufacturer’s vertical magnetic shunt transformer. According to the results, a saving of 25.83% was achieved in the horizontal magnetic shunt volume compared with the vertical magnetic shunt volume. The maximum magnetic flux density was lower in the horizontal magnetic shunts, and the maximum current density was lower in the transformer tank with horizontal magnetic shunts.
This research presents an analysis of the five-position angle in both single-axis (one-axis tracking) and dual-axis (two-axis tracking) solar tracking systems. The study compares these tracking systems, where four solar panels move simultaneously, with a fixed solar panel system. The findings revealed that the five-position angle Sun-tracking technique resulted in lower energy consumption by the tracking mechanism than in the case of an all-time solar tracking system. The key component of the implemented system is a light-dependent resistor (LDR) sensor for controlling the motion of the motor for five positions on the vertical axis and horizontal axis, processed by a microcontroller to ensure the necessary solar tracking always moves in a perpendicular direction. According to the results, the voltage, current, and power increased with both one-axis and two-axis tracking compared to those of the fixed solar panel system under the same conditions. However, when evaluating the total energy with numerical integration methods, one-axis and two-axis provided 183.12 Wh and 199.79 Wh, respectively. Consequently, the energy production of the one-axis tracking system and the one-axis tracking system was found to be 16.71% and 24.97%, respectively, when compared to the fixed-axis system. Thus, the five-position angles of the sun-tracking technique resulted in lower energy consumption than is the case of an all-time solar tracking system.
