Abstract

The authors propose an optimization procedure based on genetic algorithms able to aid the design of indoor MV/LV substations located in urban areas, reducing the magnetic field pollution within civil buildings outside the cabin. In particular, coupling genetic algorithms with a 3D magnetic field calculation code, an attempt was made to mitigate the magnetic field generated by a transformer substation using an active shield, consisting of a simple energized loop. From the analysis of the results, it emerges that the proposed approach may be advantageously used in order to mitigate the magnetic flux density in a room of a house bordered on an existing or a new MV/LV cabin.
