A Novel Algorithm of Energy Savings for Transformer Renovation and Replacement Project

Abstract

At present, smart grid is developing in China, in order to reach a safe and economical power system. In the process of establishment of smart grid, transformers which are dissatisfied with the demand of increasing load must be renovated or replaced. Economic costs and loss reduction and energy saving should be taken into account when choose a transformer. According to existing algorithms, a novel algorithm for energy savings of transformer after the original transformer is renovated or replaced. Combined with one practical project, the effectiveness and accuracy of this algorithm have been verified.
