Description
Summary:This study proposes a rapid transformer noise prediction method to quantify the propagation of electrical steel material uncertainties in transformer systems. To characterize uncertainties in silicon steel, stochastic models of magnetization and magnetostriction behaviors are developed using vine copula theory, generating correlated sample curves across flux densities ranging from 0.1-1.9 T. To mitigate computational costs, an adaptive differential evolution-optimized backpropagation neural network (ADE-BP) is introduced for transformer noise analysis. The proposed method is implemented to the finite element model of a transformer to validate its effectiveness and accuracy. Numerical results reveal a 12.7% probability of exceeding permissible noise thresholds due to variations in magnetic parameters, thereby underscoring the necessity for topology optimization in high-efficiency, low-noise transformer design methodologies.
