Principles and Modeling of the Power Transformers

This book describes many aspects of power transformers. And it mainly provides valuable knowledges such as two deals with power transformer construction, different types of transformers and connections, power transformer core modelling, and the low-frequency and mid-frequency modelling of transformers. 

Moreover, it also introduces a new method for high-frequency modelling of transformer which can attract many students learning the power transformer research field. The goal of this book is to educate the postgraduate students and engineers about principals and modeling of the transformers

.

Introduction to Power Cables,- Power Transformers Construction,- Different Types of Transformers, Connections, Protections and Remaining Life.- Transformer Core Modeling.- Low- and Mid-Frequency Modeling of Transformers.- High-Frequency Modeling of Power Transformers.

Behrooz Vahidi was born in Abadan, Iran. He received the B.S. in electrical engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran in 1980 and M.S. degree in electrical engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran in 1989. He also received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from UMIST, Manchester, UK in 1997. From 1980 to 1986 he worked in the field of high voltage in industry as chief engineer. From 1989 to present he has been with the department of electrical engineering of Amirkabir University of Technology where he is now a professor. Prof. Vahidi is an IEEE senior member. He is selected by the ministry of higher education of Iran and by IAEEE (Iranian Association of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) as the distinguished researcher of Iran. Prof. Vahidi was Director of Power System Center of Excellence at Amirkabir University of Technology. His main fields of research are high voltage, electrical insulation, power system transient, lightning protection and pulse power technology.
