Transmission transformer tap changer optimisation while minimising system losses using security unconstrained Optimal Power Flow (OPF) techniques

This dissertation investigates the feasibility of fixed tap or reduced tap transformers on the Eskom Transmission system, thereby reducing transformer failures and reducing the cost of new or replacement transformers. The main analysis uses Optimal Power Flow (OPF) techniques based on a Siemens P...
