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...

Legacy transformers are passive, bulky, becoming expensive, and take longer time to deliver. They cannot provide the power quality or control which today’s loads demand for proper functioning and the electric system needs for its survivability. Solid-state transformers have been promising technologies in recent years. EPRI is pursuing development of an innovative solution – the IUTTM (Intellige...

Power systems exhibit various modes of oscillation due to interactions among system components. Many of the oscillations are due to synchronous machine rotors swinging relative to each other. Controllable Series Devices (CSD), i.e. series connected Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices, such as Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC), Controllable Series Capacitor (CSC) and Quadrature B...

Increasingly more electrical devices are being developed in modern aircraft and will result in an increase in airborne electronic equipment fed by power electronic converters. With aircraft power system being sizable, the logical structure of aircraft power distribution systems, which affects the stability of aircraft power system, is becoming more complex. In this paper, we establish a mathema...

Electronic circuits require a wide variety of voltage levels to operate correctly. A DC/DC converter (DC/DC) is an electronic circuit used either to transform one voltage level to a different level; or to provide an isolation barrier for a voltage bus. DC/DCs are typically used in power distribution systems to provide a local voltage conversion, point of load voltage regulation or power bus iso...

In this regard, paper proposes a steady-state model single and considers loss DC/DC transformer, establishes f...

The power transformer is one of the most important equipment in a power system. Optimal design of transformer involves determination of design parameters of a power transformer when a chosen objective is optimized, simultaneously satisfying a set of constraints. In this paper Simulated Annealing (SA) is used for optimization of Power Transformer Design (OPTD).The total mass of core and copper i...

In recent years, electronic power transformer (EPT), which is also called solid state transformer, has attracted great interest and has been used in place of the conventional power transformers. These transformers have many important functions as high unity power factor, low harmonic distortion, constant DC bus voltage, regulated output voltage and compensation capability. In this study, propos...

The modeling of power transformer faults and its application to performance evaluation of a commercial digital power transformer relay are the objective of this study. A new method to build an EMTP/ATP power transformer model is proposed in this paper. Detailed modeling of the transformer relay is also discussed. The transient waveforms generated by ATP under different operating conditions are ...
