Abstract

Traditional distribution transformers have shortcomings such as poor dynamic characteristics and unreasonable voltage compensation. It is difficult for them to meet the demand for power quality with the large-scale integration of new energy into the grid. Hybrid distribution transformers (HDTs) are an important means of addressing these issues. They have good flexibility in voltage regulation and huge development potential. To analyze the operating status and losses of an HDT, this study constructs a simplified equivalent impedance model for an HDT. First, the operating principle, characteristics, and voltage regulation range of a direct AC/AC HDT were analyzed. Second, based on the state–space averaging method, we obtain the HDT single-phase average circuit topology and construct an HDT relaxed two-port network model. Third, considering the operating losses of the transformer, Thevenin equivalent parameters of an HDT were derived. Then, a simplified equivalent impedance model for an HDT and the corresponding control strategies are presented. Finally, we verify the correctness and rationality of the proposed theory by constructing an HDT simulation model.
