Assessing the Impact of High Penetration PV on the Power Transformer Loss of Life on a Distribution System

Wang, X., DSouza, K., Tang, W., & Baran, M. (2021, October 18). 2021 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT Europe), pp. 323–327.

By: X. Wang n, K. DSouza n, W. Tang n  & M. Baran n 

author keywords: Hot spot temperature; loss of life; power transformer; PV penetration; thermal model
topics (OpenAlex): Power Transformer Diagnostics and Insulation; Thermal Analysis in Power Transmission; High voltage insulation and dielectric phenomena
TL;DR: Simulation results show that PV penetrations below 100% indeed prolong the transformer lifetime, however, the saved transformer lifetime is not considerable compared to the total transformer lifespan. (via Semantic Scholar)
