The output characteristics of step-down piezoelectric transformer is changed by a structure of layers. In this paper, we simulated output characteristics of multi-layer piezoelectric transformers with variation of output layers. Also, fabricated piezoelectric transformers were compared with simulated data. From simulated piezoelectric transformers, the output voltage decreased with increasing number of layers. From these results, piezoelectric transformers were made and the output electrical power of the transformers was measured at resonance frequency and at other frequency. The electrical power of transformers was measured on each transformer's resonance mode. However, measured value of 12-layed transformer's output power was smaller than that of 6-layered transformer's one. It is supposed that internal capacitance and reactance of the piezoelectric transformer's were effected in this result. Therefore we need to connect other road resistance and capacitance in output circuit, in order to increase electrical power of transformers.

Current differential protection relaying with second harmonic restraint is the main protection for large capacity power transformer. PSCAD simulation program is widely used for modeling of dynamic varying transients phenomena. This paper deals with a power transformer model and transients analysis using PSCAD software to develop IED for power transformer. Simulation was carried out using a three phase 40MVA, 154/22.9kV, 60Hz, two-winding transformer with Y-Y connection used in actual fields. The paper analyzed transformer magnetizing inrush, external fault, and internal fault conditions with this model in the time domain. In addition, we performed an analysis in the frequency domain using FFT during several conditions.

Recently, the efficiency of power transformer is improved as well as the size is becoming smaller. So, it is very important that temperature characteristics of the transformer should be estimated and predicted precisely. This paper deals with the temperature distribution of power transformer by simplified 2-D hybrid mesh model. The temperature distribution of model transformer was obtained by CFD algorithm considering natural convection. Heat sources are calculated first by magnetic field analysis based on F.E.M. and are usedas the input data for thermal field problem based on computational fluid dynamics(CFD) algorithm. The calculated temperature distribution of the simplified 2-D power transformer model shows good results in accuracy as well as in computing time.

In this paper, aiming at high-voltage applications, transformer windings schemes of multiple-output two-transistor flyback converters are investigated, which are mainly based on the stray capacitances effect. First, based on a transformer model including equivalent stray capacitors, the operational principle of the converter is presented, and the main influence of its stay capacitors is determined. Second, the windings structures of the transformer are analyzed and designed based on the stray capacitances effect. Third, the windings arrangements of the transformer are analyzed and designed through a coupling analysis of the secondary windings and a stray capacitance analysis between the primary and secondary windings. Finally, the analysis and design conclusions are verified by experimental results obtained from a 60W laboratory prototype of a multiple-output two-transistor flyback converter.

We have proposed a 100 MVA, 3 phases, 154 kV class HTS transformer which will substitute for 60 MVA conventional transformer. In this paper, we designed conceptually the structure of the superconducting windings of a single phase 33 MVA transformer. The power transformer of 154 kV class has a tertiary winding besides primary and secondary windings. So the HTS transformer should have the 3rd superconducting winding, it makes the cost of the HTS transformer high and the efficiency low. Further more we considered On Load Tap Changer (OLTC) in HTS power transformer. OLTC equipment is required for fitting to a power transformer by which the voltage ratio between the windings can be varied while the transformer is on load. We analyzed the electrical characteristics of the HTS transformer such as magnetic stress and AC loss.

This research is conducted with the object of Piling up the foundation of design technologies for high temperature superconducting (HTS) power transformer which is thought to be as a powerful power transformer of next generation. In this study, not only the theoretical design of high temperature superconducting (HTS) transformer but also the arrangements of superconducting tape and the cooling method have been conducted. Moreover, electromagnetic analyses using finite element method (FEM) were conducted to confirm the efficiency of the designed transformer.

In power system, substation facilities have become too complex and larger according to an extended power system. Also, customers require the high quality of electrical power system. However, some facilities become old and often break down unexpectedly. The unexpected failure may cause a break in power system and loss of profits. Therefore it is important to prevent abrupt faults by monitoring the condition of power systems. Among the various power facilities, power transformers play an important role in the transmission and distribution systems. In this research, we develop intelligent diagnosis technique for monitoring of power transformer by FCM(Fuzzy c-means) and ELM(Extreme Learning Machine). The proposed technique make it possible to diagnosis the faults occurred in transformer. To demonstrate the validity of proposed method, various experiments are performed and their results are presented.

The error of instrument transformers is measured by connecting the external burden with the secondary terminal of the instrument transformers. Because the error of transformer is affected by the apparent power and power factor of the external burden, an accurate measurement of burden is important for transformer evaluation. We have developed the burden evaluation equipment for both potential transformer and current transformer by employing the series resistor in the range of $20m{\Omega}{\sim}5{\Omega}$ and the parallel resistor in the range of $1M{\Omega}{\sim}500{\Omega}$, respectively, together with visual basic program. We could reduce testing time more than 5 times by employing method developed in this study, compared with that developed in past. This method shows more better reliability by analyzing the evaluation results and fitting graphs of burden measurements. The test results of the developed system is compared with those obtained in the power meter analyzer to verify the validity.

This paper presents the design method of the DC/DC converter using flat transformer which is suitable for midium or large capacity and high density power supply. Flat transformer module is composed and manufactured of multi-transformers in parallel and has a number of parallel single turn secondary windings. Therefore, its leakage inductance is highly decreased and it is more suitable for high frequency operation than conventional one. In this paper, we manufactured and tested 750W AC/DC converter with variable output powers to verify the performance of the flat transformer.

In this paper, the design and implementation of a high power(300W) forward converter using a planar transformer is presented. The overall size and volume of the converter is decreased by replacing a planar transformer in stead of using a conventional winding transformer. Due to the decreased size and volume, power density of the applied forward converter is increased. Also, in this paper, the 300W ZVS forward converter with active clamp snubber circuit is compared to the 300W hard switching forward converter planar transformer, the decreased size and volume, the 300W ZVS forward converter with active clamp snubber circuit, 30W hard switching forward converter.
