Scientists at Curtin University of Technology report research in power delivery
November 21st, 2008
"A new analysis into the steady-state operation and derating of three-phase transformers under nonsinusoidal and asymmetric operating conditions is proposed. The combined effects of transformer core and load asymmetry, nonlinearity, and harmonics, as well as nonsinusoidal input excitation are examined," investigators in Perth, Australia report. "A time-domain nonlinear model for three-phase three-leg transformers is implemented. Transformer derating is estimated by modeling additional power losses due to harmonics generated by the iron core, nonsinusoidal excitation, and nonlinear (rectifier and electric drive) loading. Laboratory tests are performed to verify simulated...
