A Review of Health Assessment Techniques for Distribution Transformers in Smart Distribution Grids

Due to the large number of distribution transformers in the distribution grid, the status of distribution transformers plays an important role in ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the these grids. To evaluate the distribution transformer health, many assessment techniques have been studied...
