The use of the electric power transmission and distribution system as a transmission medium for broadband communications is considered. It is found that there are three significant technical hurdles to be overcome before successful implementation of such systems can be accomplished. The first is the relatively high attenuation rate due to discontinuities such as taps, transformers and other dev...

We consider the possibility of passing high-frequency signals past power transformers forming part of an electrical grid. We first model a transformer, including its laminated core, to obtain asymptotic behaviour of currents and voltages in the secondary circuit. Having got this we are able to determine the effects of different by-pass mechanisms which might be tried to get the high-frequency s...

This paper describes the design of a power amplifier (PA) for 802.11n WLAN fabricated in 65nm CMOS technology. The PA utilizes 3.3V thick gate oxide (5.2nm) transistors and a twostage differential configuration with integrated transformers for input and interstage matching. A methodology used to extract the layout parasitics from electromagnetic (EM) simulations is described. For a 72.2Mbit/s, ...

Power transformers are key components for electrical energy transfer in a Power system. In order to protect the transformers from these faults different protective methods are adopted. Some of them are differential protection, over excitation Protection, etc. In this Paper Over Voltage protection is established for the protection of the transformer. Microcontroller is used for the Power Transfo...

The present review article represents a comprehensive study on polymer micro/nanocomposites that are used in high-voltage applications. Particular focus is on the structure-property relationship of composite materials used in power engineering, by exploiting fundamental theory as well as numerical/analytical models and the influence of material design on electrical, mechanical and thermal prope...

The proposed photovoltaic Micro Inverter is based on three port flyback with one port dedicated to power decoupling function so the decoupling capacitance is reduced and hence the long lifetime film capacitor is used. One of the two transformers and one capacitor is used for decoupling function. The decoupling capacitor functions as energy storage as well as snubber capacitor to recycle the tra...

Power transformers prove to be a vital element or tool in electrical power supply and transmission system. They are capital intensive units and need to be monitored for faults. Faults in transformers leading to their failure are repugnant. Thus, there is a need to detect such faults at an initial level. This paper aims to detect, diagnose the nature and cause of mechanical faults, their identit...

The life expectancy and load capacity of oil-immersed power transformers are intimately associated with the winding hot spot temperature (HST). Thus, accurately predicting HSTs is essential in evaluating the life expectancy of power transformers and in preventing thermal failure. Previously, support vector machine (SVM) has been successfully employed to solve the regression problem of nonlinear...
