Abstract
Increased renewable power generation, HVDC interconnections and geomagnetic effects all bias the AC grid with small direct currents which leads to two negative effects on transformers (theory of half-cycle saturation) increased noise and increased no-load losses. A unique solution is the DC compensation system, which is an add-on to a transformer which eliminates the DC effects. Furthermore, there are dedicated steps available, from pure detection of the problem, preparation of the transformer and measurement, all the way up to a full compensation system.
Keywords
