High-Speed Semiconductor Voltage Regulators for On-Load Distribution Network Transformers

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

The paper presents the results of developing a high-speed semiconductor transformer voltage regulator (STVR) intended for a real-time voltage regulation of 0.4 kV distribution networks. The authors point out the disadvantages of the existing technical solutions concerning transformer voltage regulation and describe the advantages as well as specifics of the proposed solution. They also explain the principles of using the STVR to regulate on-load transformer voltage. The statement of the objectives and experimental results of studying the STVR physical model are presented, which confirm the proposed technical characteristics as well as broad functional capabilities of the device.
