A Novel Approach for Estimating the Service Lifetime of Transformers within Distributed Solar Photovoltaic (DSPV) Systems
The rapid transformation of the energy sector in South Africa towards renewable energy (RE) production calls for the management of assets to keep pace with the ongoing developments in a reliable manner. Aging assets, increasing energy needs and reliable supply of energy without load shedding are some of the challenges utilities are facing in South…
Read More Peculiar Stray Gassing Occurrences in Solar Photovoltaic Transformers during Service
Distributed Solar Photovoltaic (DSP) Plants are one of the fastest growing renewable energy systems in South Africa. The primary components forming an integral part of the point of common coupling (PCC) are, the inverter used to convert dc voltage to ac voltage and step-up transformers which step-up low voltage input to the desired output level.…
Read More Application of Polynomial Regression Analysis in Evaluating the Techno-Economic Performance of DSPV Transformers
To this extent, the delineation of techno-economic evaluations for transformers becomes more intricate through a lens of Distributed Solar Photovoltaic (DSPV) market in South Africa. Essentially, the transformer price and loss evaluation techniques should be tailored for calculating the Total Ownership Cost (TOC) of transformers facilitating decentralized energy systems. In South Africa, the traditional coal…
