Comprehensive Power Losses Model for Electronic Power Transformer

The electronic power transformer (EPT) has higher power losses than the conventional transformer. However, the EPT can correct the power factor, compensate the unbalanced current, and reduce the line power losses in the distribution network. Therefore, the higher power losses of the EPT and the cons...
