In this paper, we present a novel compact rf or ac power generator that uses a resonant driving scheme without the necessity for any matching device. The developed unit also doesn't need any expensive high voltage power supply for generating output voltages in the range of some hundred volts typically required for the function of trapping devices. The high efficiency of the generator allows ope...

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...

power system overvoltages due to switching, lightning and other disturbances are the main problem for designers of the power transformers. once some frequencies of the incoming surges match with some of the natural frequencies of transformer winding, the resonance phenomenon is expected in transformer winding. the resonant overvoltages may destroy the insulation between turns and cause to insul...

The paper proposes an innovative design to develop a system based on AVR micro controller that is used for monitoring the voltage, current and temperature of a distribution transformer in a substation and to protect the system from the rise in mentioned parameters. Providing the protection to the distribution transformer can be accomplished by shutting down the entire unit with the aid of the R...

The paper presents common mode voltage analysis of single phase grid connected photovoltaic inverter. Many researchers proposed different grid tie inverters for applications like domestic powering, street lighting, water pumping, cooling and heating applications. Traditional grid tie PV inverter uses either a line frequency or a high frequency transformer between the inverter and grid. The tran...

Abstract—Sweep frequency response analysis has been turning out a powerful tool for investigation of mechanical as well as electrical integration of transformers. In this paper various aspect of practical application of SFRA has been studied. Open circuit and short circuit measurement were done on different phases of high voltage and low voltage winding. A case study was presented for the trans...
