Transformer in Grid

چکیده
The aim of this research article is to determine the way to install surge arresters close to a power transformer to provide protection against lightning overvoltage. Depending on the length of the cables used in the installation, the insulation levels in base insulators of surge arresters and bushings of transformers change according to the voltage they support. For validation purposes, the voltage at base insulators and bushings has been analysed for different cable lengths in a typical substation. The results obtained from the simulations conducted with the ATP-EMTP software show the maximum lengths that cannot be exceeded for each insulation level selected for base insulators and bushings in case of a 145 kV power transformer.

The traditional grid-connected PV inverter includes either a line frequency or a high frequency transformer between the inverter and grid. The transformer provides galvanic isolation between the grid and the PV panels. In order to increase the efficiency, to reduce the size and cost, the effective solution is to remove the isolation transformer. It leads to appearance of common mode (CM) ground...
متن کاملOverload Control in Smart Transformer-Fed Grid
Renewable energy resources and new loads—such as electric vehicles—challenge grid management. Among several scenarios, the smart transformer represents a solution for simultaneously managing lowand medium-voltage grids, providing ancillary services to the distribution grid. However, unlike conventional transformers, the smart transformer has a very limited overload capability, because the junct...
متن کاملDesigning Of A Smart Transformer
As an integral part of the Smart Grid, smart transformers both work independently to constantly regulate voltage and maintain contact with the smart grid in order to allow remote administration if needed and to provide information and feedback about the power supply and the transformers themselves. Through a process known as voltage optimization, a smart transformer provides the exact amount of...
متن کاملControl and Filter Design of Three-Phase Inverters for High Power Quality Grid Connection
The trend toward using inverters in distributed generation systems and micro-grids has raised the importance of achieving low-distortion, high-quality power export from inverters. Both switching frequency effects and pre-existing grid voltage distortion can contribute to poor power quality. A well designed filter can attenuate switching frequency components but has an impact on the control band...
