There are numerous advantages of using Electric Vehicles (EVs) as an alternative method of transportation but an increase in EV usage in the existing residential distribution grid poses problems such as overloading the existing infrastructure. In this paper, we have modeled and simulated a residential distribution grid in GridLAB-D (an open-source software tool used to model, simulate, and anal...

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 transformers are among the most important and expensive equipments in the electric power systems. Consequently the transformer protection is an essential part of the system protection. This paper presents a new method for locating transformer winding faults such as turn-to-turn, turn-to-core, turn-totransformer body, turn-to-earth, and high voltage winding to low voltage winding. In this ...

Power transformer is one of the most important equipments in the electric system. Dissolved Gases Analysis is an important method in the diagnosis of internal fault of transformers. Because the signs and types of fault have complicated nonlinear relations, the traditional methods cannot exactly meet the requirements of engineer application. This paper proposes synthesis of relational grey incid...

In order to conduct safe and efficient flow management of motor or transformer oil, it is necessary to implement specific waste oil analysis and treatment in order to protect the environment and people’s health and safety. The study presents analysis and treatment of waste oil in the electric power distribution companies, showing some data of the MH ''ERS” ZEDP “Elektro-Bijeljina” joint-stock c...

Kerr electro-optic technique has been used to measure the electric field distribution in high voltage stressed dielectric liquids, where the difference between refractive indices for light polarized parallel and perpendicular to the local electric field is a function of the electric field intensity. For transformer oil, the most widely-used insulating liquids in power apparatus and high voltage...

OATAO is an open access repository that collects the work of Toulouse researchers and makes it freely available over the web where possible. This paper is about an open multi-physics modelling problem resulting from recent investigations into plasma generation by piezo-electric transformers. In this first approach, the electric field distribution surrounding the transformer is studied according...
