How do smart transformers help manage the grid and distribution?
A smart transformer is a power electronics and loT-based transformer equipped with remote monitoring and better access and control capabilities, which allows them to manage electricity more efficiently. The operator can remotely monitor many critical parameters of the transformer, like transformer overloading, oil and winding temperature, overcurrent and overvoltage, harmonics, active and reactive power, etc.
