Smart Transformers: A Review

Smart transformers now under development potentially could transform the power grid in
ways that will make power more dependable, value-efficient and environmentally pleasant
and generate power in addition to what they do now, that is just to apply it. This device
permits automatic voltage regulation, telemetry and faraway control for energy utilities,
allowing its application in smart Grids. The energy grid presently operates one way—energy
flows from the application to the consumer--and conventional transformers definitely change
voltage from one stage to another. To protect the distribution transformer from severe
damage advanced metering infrastructure(AMI) and advanced sensor infrastructure(ASI) is
used. These devices are used to monitoring the smart transformers.
