Energy efficiency in power transformers

Abstract

The objective of this report is to calculate the amount of incentives in order to achieve the potential energy saving of distribution transformer in distribution network. Firstly, a case study for Spain with the basic data of the power installed of three different energy efficiency rates of transformers has been created. Then the problem formulation in GAMS is presented with the objective function to maximize the benefit in year n to fulfill with the demand growth, under the control of the economic constraint RD222/2008 and the improvement overall efficiency constraint. As a result, the objective of this project can be achieved.
