Lumped Parameter Model is well known in solving high frequency signal propagation in high voltage transformer windings. At Southampton University, the modelling technique has been improvised and employed to solve partial discharge (PD) problem occurred within deep inside transformer windings. Firstly, a lumped capacitive parameter model was considered and secondly a transmission line lumped par...

Abstract—Reducing the weight of transformers while providing good performance, cost reduction and increased efficiency is important. Weight is one of the most significant factors in all electrical machines, and as such, many transformer design parameters are related to weight calculations. This study presents a comparison of the weight of oil type transformers and dry type transformer weight. O...

Transformer fault diagnosis and repair is a complex task that includes many possible types of faults and demands special trained personnel. In this paper, Petri Nets are used for the simulation of transformer fault diagnosis process and the definition of the actions followed to repair the transformer. An integrated safety detector relay is used for transformer fault detection. Simulation result...

According to the chronological literature survey, there exist three types of the on-chip transformer i.e the traditional on-chip passive transformer, the Distributed active transformer (DAT), and the CMOS gyrator-C active transformer (Yuan 2007). Formerly, there exist many review articles on the on-chip transformer. However, these articles focus on the on-chip passive transformer due to its ren...

Transformer is the power equipment of power system core. Intelligent monitoring and operation of transformer can not only monitor the full range of the transformer, the realization of state evaluation, it should be required repair, maintenance required good, but also on the latent fault early diagnosis and prediction. Research on transformer intelligent monitoring and operating technology of sa...

A contactless power transfer system for charging electric vehicles requires a high efficiency, a large air gap, and a good tolerance to lateral misalignment and needs to be compact and lightweight. A double-sided winding 10 kW transformer based on a 1.5 kW H-shaped core transformer was developed for a rapid charger. Even though the transformer capacity was increased, the dimensions of the 10 kW...

Inrush currents in transformers are non-sinusoidal, high magnitude currents generated due to flux saturation in the core during energization. For protection purpose, in this paper an efficient method for detection of inrush current in distribution transformer based on wavelet transform is presented. Using this method inrush current can be discriminated from the other switching transients such a...

In the DG DemoNet Validation project a coordinated voltage controller was developed to actively integrate a high share of renewables into existing distribution systems. The impact of controlling the medium voltage transformer and the reactive power of distributed generation based on the actual voltages of critical nodes on voltage range and number of tap changer operations is analysed. Evaluati...
