A New Application of Forensic-Based Investigation Optimizer for Parameter Identification of Transformer

In this article, a new optimization technique called the Forensic-Based Investigation (FBI) Algorithm is applied for evaluating the parameters of single phase power transformers. The reports of the manufacturer's operation are used for the evaluation process. In this paper, the procedure of identifying the equivalent circuit parameters for the single transformer is based on the load test data in terms of input voltage, input power and load current. The main objective function of this study is proposed for reducing the error between the actual and the estimated parameters obtained using the proposed FBI algorithm. Further, the Forensic-Based Investigation algorithm is compared with PSO and jellyfish search (JS) optimizer algorithm. The results show that the proposed FBI technique has the best performance including the stability, superiority and convergence rapidly to solve the problem of the optimal parameters in single phase transformers compared with the PSO and JS algorithms.
