Optimal Design of Transformer:A Compressive Bibliographical Survey

The complexity of transformer design demands reliable and rigorous solution methods. With the fast-paced changing technologies in the power industry, new references addressing new technologies are coming to the market. A survey of current research reveals the continued interest in application of advanced techniques for transformer design optimization. This paper gives a bibliographical survey and general backgrounds of research and developments in the field of transformer design and optimization for the past 38 years, based over 126 published articles, 58 transformer books. The main purpose is to provide a synthesis of the published research in this field and stimulate further research interests and efforts in the respective topics. The collected literature have been divided into many section, so that new researchers do not face any difficulty for obtaining literature particularly in the area of transformer design and optimization.
