This task‐force paper documents and summarizes the models of power transformers that have been proposed, used, and validated in the exercise of digital real‐time simulation. Power transformer is one of the most important equipment in power systems, and its modelling for electromagnetic transient simulation has evolved over time, especially in the area of real‐time simulation. The focus of the paper is to document and archive the models that have been well accepted and used for transient analysis in digital real‐time simulation so that readers can use it as a master document for transformer modelling in real‐time simulation studies. It includes both conventional and specialized models of power transformers that have been broadly acknowledged by the power engineering community. The models provided here come with detailed mathematical representation and their implementation techniques. A comparative study is also performed to illustrate the differences in their performances. In the end, an application guideline has been provided to guide the readers to select the appropriate model for their study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
