Smart Transformers enable a stronger control of distribution grids, due to their advanced active/reactive power control capability. Redispachting the power in radial and meshed grids, the Smart Transformers are able to keep the voltage within limits and solve grid assets congestions. This paper offers the modelling of Smart Transformers for optimal power flow algorithms, in both radial and meshed grids. The Smart Transformer is compared with already implemented power electronics-based solutions, such as STATCOM or Soft Open Points, and its performance are validated in a large South-Italian distribution grid.

Abstract
Smart Transformers enable a stronger control of distribution grids, due to their advanced active/reactive power control capability. Redispachting the power in radial and meshed grids, the Smart Transformers are able to keep the voltage within limits and solve grid assets congestions. This paper offers the modelling of Smart Transformers for optimal power flow algorithms, in both radial and meshed grids. The Smart Transformer is compared with already implemented power electronics-based solutions, such as STATCOM or Soft Open Points, and its performance are validated in a large South-Italian distribution grid.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
