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

2021 IEEE PES INNOVATIVE SMART GRID TECHNOLOGY EUROPE (ISGT EUROPE 2021), 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
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)
