Design of a microcomputer-based solid state controller for on-load-tap-changer transformer.

摘要

This thesis presents a one-year project conducted in the Electrical Engineering Department at The University of Texas at Arlington (UT Arlington). The purpose of the project was to design, develop, and test a new voltage control system that eliminates the problems in the existing Load Tap Changer (LTC). The weaknesses of the existing LTC and the strengths of the new LTC are outlined. The new LTC was tested at each stage of its development at the Power System Simulation Laboratory of the Energy Systems Research Center at UT Arlington.
