This document discusses smart grids and smart transformers. It begins by introducing the need for smart grids due to increasing power demand and inefficiencies in the current distribution system. Power electronics and ICT are proposed to improve reliability and stability. A key component of smart grids is the smart transformer, which uses power electronics and communication to provide two-way interaction and real-time monitoring. The document compares traditional and smart grids, lists smart grid components, and describes how smart transformers provide services like voltage regulation and harmonic compensation while reducing power consumption.

11.  Integral part of the smart grid
 Through a process known as voltage optimization, a
smart transformer provides the exact amount of
power that is needed, and responds instantly to
fluctuations within the power grid, acting as a voltage
regulator to ensure that the optimized voltage is
undisturbed.
 Reduce power consumption and provides stable and
optimal power supply(ideal voltages for devices
causing longer lifespan)

17. STAGE ONE
 Three phase ac/dc rectifier regulates high voltage
dc bus
 It produce low distortion grid current
 DC voltage regulation
DEPARTMENT OF EEE, SAINTGITS 17

18. STAGE 2
 Consists of DAB-dual active bridge-a high
frequency transformer
 DAB gives:
Electrical isolation
High reliability
Ease of realization
DEPARTMENT OF EEE, SAINTGITS 18

19. STAGE 3
DEPARTMENT OF EEE, SAINTGITS 19
 DC AC Converter is used to convert the DC voltage
into desirable ac voltage.
 Therefore an ST can achieve the voltage
transformation
by medium to high frequency isolation therefore to
potentially reduce the volume and weight of it
compared to the traditional transformer
