A power transformer is an important component in power trains and electrical distribution
networks. Predicting its life time is desirable, especially, if a zero downtime policy is applied …

The temperature of windings hot spot is a factor affecting the load capacity and useful life of
power and distribution transformers. It is the hottest point of transformer in terms of design …

Transformer failure is one of the main causes of distribution faults. Factors like an inter-
winding failure, over current, oil leakage, ambient temperature, electrical faults, etc. are few …

I would like to express sincere appreciation to my supervisors: Dr. Morshuis for his direction
and discussion since the beginning of my project and, and Dr. Chen for his technical support …

The health of the transmission power transformers in the power system networks is critical to
the reliability of electricity supply. Knowing the precise life expectancy of the transmission …

For planning purposes, the loading of assets in electric power distribution circuits is often
modelled in terms of a diversified load. The temporal and probabilistic nature of the load is a …

Due to their large power draws and increasing adoption rates, electric vehicles (EVs) will
become a significant challenge for electric distribution grids. However, with proper charging …

New technologies, such as electric vehicles, rooftop solar, and behind-the-meter storage,
will lead to increased variation in electrical load, and the location and time of the penetration …

In the new era of the renewable energy market in South Africa, there is a knowledge gap in
the technical standards relating to distribution transformers, which are exclusively intended …

Overall, there are numerous sustainable sources of renewable, low-temperature heat,
principally solar energy, geothermal energy, and energy produced from industrial wastes …
