ABOUT THE SESSION
Challenges in the instrument transformer industry from manufacturer’s perspective and new voltage regulation flexibility in distribution networks
This e-session is divided into two parts, covering field of instrument and distribution transformer industry. In the first part you can gain an overview of the current trends in instrument transformer industry, with a focus on conventional paper-oil technology and its future benefits and extension of use. Second part covers voltage regulated distribution transformer (VRDT) and new generation of on-load tap-changer (OLTC) with vacuum technology. The attendees have an opportunity to learn about emerging technologies in instrument transformer industry and new voltage regulation flexibility in distribution networks.
Keywords: instrument transformer, safe operation, sustainable technologies, distribution transformer, voltage regulation, DG integration
