DESCRIPTION:Power transformers are used to convert voltage from one level a
 t the generation as step-up transformers to other levels at the end custom
 ers as step-down transformers. Power transformers are also used to change 
 the phase angle of the voltage to control the flow of active power in the 
 line. Changing voltage or phase angle cannot control active and reactive p
 ower flows independently.\n\nSen Transformer (ST) marks the first breakthr
 ough in bulk power system design in more than a century\, hosting a range 
 of benefits over traditional power flow solutions. The ST\, which offers a
  plethora of power flow control features\, such as independent active and 
 reactive power flows\, voltage\, phase angle\, impedance (XL or XC and R o
 r –R\, all independently variable)\, all in one unit\, uses time‐teste
 d components\, such as transformer and load tap changers that are proven t
 o be reliable\, cost‐effective\, and portable. While enhancing the activ
 e power flow to the line’s thermal limit\, the reduction in reactive pow
 er flow leads to an efficient operation of the entire electrical grid.\n\n
 A commercial-grade ST was designed to operate at 33 kV with a throughput r
 ating of ±6.5 MVA. The unit was manufactured\, tested and connected to th
 e U.S. grid in Lenox\, MA. The test results show that the bidirectional ac
 tive and reactive power flows can be regulated independently\, proving tha
 t the ST is a practical solution to meet utilities’ needs in terms of re
 liability\, cost-effectiveness\, component non-obsolescence\, efficiency\,
  portability and interoperability.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr Kalyan Sen\n\nVirtual
