Optimization of Resistance Spot Welding Transformer Windings Using Analytical Successive Approximation and Differential Evolution

Abstract: A welding transformer represents a vital part of a resistance spot welding (RSW) system. Therefore, it is essential to ensure minimum copper loss in the windings. This paper describes a single-objective optimization procedure, which includes searching for the minimum copper loss in RSW transformer windings in regard to the dimensions of the primary and secondary windings. Copper loss in windings is obtained using an improved analytical method of successive approximation, which enables the calculation of curren… Show more

“…Equations (3) and (4) are, respectively, the mutation operation and crossover operation in DE. Although the model in this paper shares the same features (e.g., simulation-based, constrained, and multidimensional problem) with the TEAM workshop problem 22 and the loudspeaker model as in [17][18][19], this model requires substantially longer simulation time than Fig. 4 The design flowchart of the WPT system previous models.…”

“…The specific feature of the transformer mode in RSW system is that currents can flow through the primary and one of the secondary windings (two-winding transformer) or through the primary winding and two secondary windings when the diodes are switching (three-winding transformer). Usually the currents and voltages in RSW systems are calculated only for two-winding mode of the transformer [1][2][3][4]. However the three-winding transformer electromagnetic parameters can influence on the welding current and power consumption of RSW system but there is no information about this influence.…”
