1.Sarrera

1.1 Banaketak eguneratzeko beharrezkoa

Karga dentsitatea goratzen ari da

Puntuan, banaketak adin handian lan egiten duten batean, tenperatura (15-25°C kasu ekstremotan) goratzen da. Tenperatura luzea isolamenduaren (paper-oil sistemetan) degradazioa azeleratzen du, hondarrik aski altuagoak sortuz - kargatua dauden unitateek hondarrik 40% gehiago dituzte.

2.Banaketaren transformatorrentzat aukeratutako arazoak

2.1 Karga dentsitatea goratzen ari da

Overload Pressure

Prolonged peak-hour overload causes high equipment temperatures, speeding up insulation aging and raising risks of thermal runaway, short-circuits, and shorter lifespan.

Power Quality Degradation

Big voltage swings, unstable frequency, and harmonic distortions (from renewables or nonlinear loads) lower equipment efficiency and damage appliances.

Inadequate Operational & Maintenance

Periodic inspections miss early signs of degradation, causing unplanned outages and higher costs.

2.2 Diversified Electricity Demand

Diversified Electricity Demand

End-users now demand higher power quality. Key requirements are voltage stability (±1% fluctuation), frequency stability (±0.1 Hz deviation), and low harmonic distortion (THD < 5%). This is due to more sensitive digital devices and industrial automation.

Limitations of Traditional Transformers

- Can't handle dynamic load changes well due to static impedance design.

- Only have basic passive LC harmonic filters, not enough.

- Poor at regulating voltage with variable renewable energy.

- Don't work well with bidirectional power from distributed energy resources (DERs).

-Smart transformers with power electronics and compensation modules are needed.

Challenges of New Energy Integration

Renewable energy is growing fast (solar PV at +35% CAGR, wind at +18% CAGR):

- Intermittency causes frequency deviations (0.2 - 0.5 Hz in weak grids).

- PV inverters inject DC components, disrupting grid sync.

- Capacitive reactive power can cause overvoltages in low-load times.

- Harmonics from multi-stage inverters (up to 11th order).
