A transformer is the most valuable and expensive property for power utility, thus ensuring its reliable operation is a major task for both operators and researchers. Online impulse frequency response analysis has proven to be a promising technique for detecting transformer internal winding mechanical deformation faults when a power transformer is in service. However, as so far, there is still n...

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...

A power transformer is an essential device for stable and reliable transfer to customers. Therefore, accurate modeling of transformers required simulation-based analysis with the model. The paper proposes efficient straightforward parameter estimation based on sweep frequency response (SFRA) test data. method first develops a model consisting repetitive RLC sections mutual inductances then alig...

In this paper, a review of PV inverters is reported based on converter characteristics as the number of energy processing stages, the presence of a transformer (high-frequency or 50Hz transformer), and the adopted configuration of the PV field. In particular, the considered solutions have been evaluated depending on efficiency, input current ripple and life-time of the capacitors coupling with ...

The traction transformer of the traction drive system of a high-speed train is one of the main equipments for energy conversion. The transformer loss will be increased by load harmonics and pantograph arcs at high speed. It is very important to predict losses for the improvement of traction transformer design. In this paper, a dynamic model of the pantograph-catenary system is established using...
