Analysis of Transformer Performance using MATLAB

Abstract

In this paper, this study presents a comprehensive analysis of transformer performance utilizing MATLAB simulations. Transformers are critical components in electrical power systems, and their efficiency, voltage regulation, and operational characteristics are essential for reliable energy distribution. The analysis focuses on modeling the transformer using MATLAB's Simulink environment, enabling the evaluation of various performance metrics under different load conditions and fault scenarios. Key parameters such as efficiency, voltage regulation, and thermal performance are examined, highlighting the influence of winding resistance, core losses, and load variations. The results demonstrate the capability of MATLAB to simulate and analyze transformer behavior accurately, providing valuable insights for engineers to optimize transformer design and operation. This approach facilitates the identification of potential issues, enhances the understanding of transformer dynamics, and contributes to improved reliability and efficiency in electrical systems.
