In this paper, We investigate the number of 795 transformer in the private electrical facilities and analyze the annual load factor. The results show that the annual load factor of transformer is 20.16% in manufacturing industry, education services(school) is 9.59%, retail and wholesale services is 19.68%, resort and leisure industry is 10.93%, office building is 13.10%, and apartment houses is 14.69%. Education services, resort and leisure industry are being operated with a very low annual load factor. The relatively small capacity of less than 500kVA transformer also been analyzed that is being operated with a low load factor. Therefore, In order to minimize the power loss of the transformer, it is advisable to complement the Transformer Efficiency Management system to be designed the efficiency is good transformer when the load is low. Analysis results will be used as the basis for the provision of transformer efficiency management system and be used High-efficiency transformers promotion system.

In this paper, a broadband 2-way power divider which can be used from 20 MHz to 500 MHz in the V/UHF band is designed using transmission-line transformer and ferrite toroid. A 2:1 impedance transformer instead of the conventional 4:1 impedance transformer is realized and this 2:1 transformer is connected with the conventional bridge-type 2-way divider to form a 2-way power divider. Insertion loss of about 3.5 dB, isolation of less than -10 dB, and return loss of less than -10 dB in most band of interest are measured.

In the analysis of characteristic behaviors of a real transformer with coupling coefficient K is less than 1, this paper presents the more accurate and practical profits than the traditional analysis of the transformer treated as K∼1. This results from the use of the coupling coefficient type equivalent circuit of the transformer which includes K as positive parameter. Furthermore, a leakage transformer is analyzed in a unified method and the results of analysis are consistent with the practical measurements of the transformer. By using the above equivalent circuit, the characteristics referred to the load side are expressed as Thevenin voltage source and the leakage inductor (1-K2)L2. Therefore, these analysis about the output voltage and the damping factor in the transient state which are affected by the leakage inductor are confirmed to be an effective method.

Sewage treatment plants, consuming 1,756[GWh] which is 0.53[%] of national wide electricity consumption, is one of the electricity consuming facilites. At the research of electricity consumption and power quality analysis on sewage treatment plants, average utilization of transformer was less than 40[%] because peak load was very lower than its capacity due to excess capacity. So reduction of power loss can be achieved by transformer design optimization. The achievement in this research, is to meet reduction of power loss through optimizing the capacity and to improve as high efficiency-low loss transformer while the transformer is operating.

In this study, piezoelectric transformer was manufactured at the sintering temperature of $950^{\circ}C$, and then the feasibility of application to low temperature sintering piezoelectric transformers was investigated by evaluating the electrical characteristics of it. The voltage ratio of piezoelectric transformer showed the maximum value at the resonant frequency of input part, and increased according to the increase of load resistance. The output power and efficiency of piezoelectric transformer showed the superior properties when the output impedance of it coincides with the load resistance. Piezoelectric transformer manufactured at the low temperature of $950^{\circ}C$ showed the heat generation less than $20^{\circ}C$ at the output power of 30 W, and stable driving characteristics.

In this study, multilayer piezoelectric transformer was manufactured using the PMN-PNN-PZT ceramic and then the electrical characteristics were investigated according to the variations of frequency and load resistance. The voltage step-up ratio of multilayer piezoelectric transformer showed the maximum value at the vicinity of 75 kHz and increased according to the increase of load resistance. When the output impedance coincided with the load resistance, the multilayer piezoelectric transformer showed the temperature rise of less than $20^{\circ}C$ at the output power of 20 W. As the results, the multilayer piezoelectric transformer manufactured at low co-firing temperature of $940^{\circ}C$ using PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics could be stably driven as the step-down transformers.

This paper describes the modeling of winding vibration for a variation of load and temperature. The structural changes in transformer windings due to heat cause the change of vibration patterns. The vibration signals were detected by the accelerometer on the transformer windings. The real values were compared with estimated value using least-squares method, vibration model was cstablished and with this model, error compared with original signal was less than -50[db]. These results could be applied to diagnosis of incipient failures of the power transformers.

A higher-order power converter topology for an extremely low coupling (less than 0.15) transformer with high efficiency and wide air-gap (23 mm) is presented in this paper. Among the typical resonant converter topologies for contact-less power transferring systems, Series-Series Resonant Converter (SSRC) and Series-Parallel Resonant Converter (SPRC) are widely used in number of power electronic applications. However, when coupling coefficient of a transformer is seriously low (k<0.5), the series-series resonant converter will possibly operate at short circuited condition because of the small magnetizing impedance. To solve this problem, a modified and improved topology of seventh-order resonant converter for contact-less power converter system is proposed and the results are presented.

This paper aims to analyze the safety evaluation of the existing transformer for the 0.85 millions of public rental apartments as EVs(Electric Vehicles) increase in order to overcome the environment pollution issue and maintain sustainable development. It is analyzed that the 56.4% capacity of power transformer could secure as EV charging infrastructure, based on the analysis of respective utilization patterns of the housing and power transformer. The acceptable number of EVs is 0.04~0.06 per household from the spare capacity of the power transformer. It is analyzed that EV stock is prospected less than 0.03 per household in 2030, considering the condition of the public rental apartments residents and the growth rate of EVs according to practical scenario. The power demand for EVs is within the allowable capacity range of the power transformer, so the research shows that there is no problem in the stability of the existing transformer until 2030.
