Abstract: A bond graph model of an electrical transformer
including the nonlinear saturation is presented. A nonlinear observer for the transformer based on multivariable circle
criterion in the physical domain is proposed. In order to show the saturation and hysteresis effects on the electrical transformer,
simulation results are obtained. Finally, the paper describes that convergence of the estimates to the true states is achieved.
Abstract: Bond graph models of an electrical transformer including
the nonlinear saturation are presented. The transformer
using electrical and magnetic circuits are modelled. These models
determine the relation between self and mutual inductances, and
the leakage and magnetizing inductances of power transformers
with two windings using the properties of a bond graph. The
equivalence between electrical and magnetic variables is given.
The modelling and analysis using this methodology to three phase
power transformers can be extended.
