Using Imperialist Competitive algorithm for parameter identificationof transformer R-L-C-M model

The R-L-C-M model of power transformer is obtained from geometrical structure and is extremely appropriate for studying transientphenomena in a transformer and detecting mechanical faults. The precision of this model depends strongly on the precision of its parameters. The accuracy of these parameters that are calculated by analytical formulas is limited due to different reasons. In this paperImperialistCompetitive Algorithm (ICA) is introduced as a method to identify the parameters of R-L-C-M Model without employing any analyticalformulas.
