Knowledge about the magnetic quantities in a magnetic circuit is always of great interest. On the one hand, this information is needed for the simulation of a transformer. On the other hand, parameter studies are more reliable, if the magnetic quantities are derived from a well established model. One possibility to model the 3-phase transformer is by using a magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC). T...

Among the most noticeable root causes of improper performance in power transformers, internal short circuit faults can be noted and if not quickly be identified and addressed in the accepted time interval, irrecoverable damages such as interruption or even collapse of the network connected to the power transformer would happen. In this contribution, three-phase transformer behaviors under magne...

The DC/AC inverters are used in grid-coupled Photovoltaic (PV) energy fabrication systems as the power meting out interface between the PV power source and the electric grid. Compared to the grid-coupled PV inverters that have galvanic separation (either on the DC, or on the AC side),the transformer-less PV inverters have the advantages of lower cost, higher efficiency, smaller size and lower w...

In many years teaching of Electric Machinery, Electrical Engineering Theory, and Power System Analysis, I found that students have difficulty learning how to calculate transformer parameters. It is even more difficult for them to understand the reason of reducing capacity of short circuit of three windings transformer which has different capacities in each winding. However, the calculation of t...

In this paper, to approach the modeling aspect, we have selected a Rosen-type structure of piezo-electric transformer which, for us, seems very interesting from an educational point of view. Two approaches will be presented ; (i) The first one consist of performing the analysis with an electric equivalent circuit. The set of hypotheses used in the equivalent circuit method prove to be somewhat ...

A study on plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging load and its impacts on distribution transformers loss-of-life, is presented in this paper. The assessment is based on residential PEV battery charging. As the exact forecasting of the charging load is not possible, the method for predicting the electric vehicle (EV) charging load is stochastically formulated. With the help of the stochastic mo...

Power transformers are essential components of substation equipment for the efficient and stable operation of electric power systems. There is demand for transformers with lower price and higher reliability. In addition, depending upon the onsite conditions, such as narrow roads, mountainous areas or highly congested urban areas, harmony with the surrounding environment is required throughout s...

A transformer less hybrid series active filter is proposed to enhance the power quality in singlephase systems with critical loads. This thesis assists the energy management and power quality issues related to electric transportation and focuses on improving electric vehicle load connection to the grid. The control strategy is designed to prevent current harmonic distortions of nonlinear loads ...
