To mitigate power transmission losses between power plants and consumers, Medium-Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) systems, which transmit power as DC and convert it back to AC at the destination, are increasingly being developed. However, these MVDC conversion systems, which are rich in semiconductor devices, generate significantly more heat than conventional transformers. Consequently, the thermal management capabilities of traditional air-cooling methods are proving insufficient, necessitating the adoption of liquid cooling systems. This study aims to optimize the energy efficiency of MVDC liquid cooling systems. Finally, we demonstrated a optimized system that minimizes the pump's power consumption by dynamically adjusting the coolant flow rate to each thermal module based on the automatic control valve system.
