Distribution Transformer DGA – The Future of Monitoring Distribution Systems
By Leon White and Traci Hopkins, H2scan Corporation
As distributed generation, electric vehicle load, and requirements for increased electricity reliability provide real-world challenges for electric utilities, asset managers must innovate to ensure their infrastructure is in good condition to deliver safe, reliable, and uninterrupted power to customers.
Distribution systems have been designed to transfer power from large remote generators to customers via radial distribution networks. This paper will discuss the progress that is being made...
