Application of COMSOL Multi Physics:-

1. Predict and Minimize Noise in Transformers:-


 Transformers are great for safely connecting high-voltage lines with local power
substation, but they’re not silent — and just as high voltages are dangerous, so are high
levels of noise. ABB Corporate Research Center (ABB CRC) found that simulation is
effective for developing new and optimizing existing power transformer equipment
with noise regulations in mind. In particular, they needed to analyze the inner workings
of their transformers, because the noise stems from both the core and the oil tank.
 Additionally, to produce simulations that accurately represent the real world, the team
at ABB CRC had to couple electromagnetics, acoustics, and structural mechanics in a
single environment. That’s why they turned to COMSOL Multiphysics. Now, the team
is able to optimize their transformer designs with minimal hum before manufacturing
them.

protected by an enclosure, and an insulating oil inside. Right: Acoustic analysis of the sound
pressure field around the core and transformer.

2. Plan Underground Cable Networks Accurately and at Low Cost:-

 Safe. Reliable. Affordable. Managing the electric grid involves meeting all of these
requirements. National Grid, which services homes and businesses in England and
Wales, needs accurate cable ratings when planning where to lay new cable, especially
in older sections that have been repaired using different materials in the same cable
line. Managing underground cable networks requires a deep understanding of how
surrounding soil, cable age, repairs, and proximity of other cables will affect
performance.
 However, testing these high-voltage systems is difficult due to their enormous size and
the fact that cables have to be analyzed in context rather than in isolation. Finite
element analysis (FEA) is up to the task: By modeling cable components with
COMSOL Multiphysics, National Grid can ultimately make good decisions about
where to lay new cables and how to best repair old ones — thereby minimizing
installation costs.
