Popis: Design optimization is an important topic for electrical manufacturers. Optimization techniques that require derivatives are difficult to apply to the power transformer problem. This paper presents a new approach using the genetic algorithm to optimize power transformer design. An example design, included in this paper, indicates the viability of the proposed method to solve this problem and its ability to reduce the amount of engineering time spent comparing alternative designs.
