Why phase-shifting transformers?
Benefits to you - higher revenues

PST helps you


 Improve your operating performance
 Increase total power flow
in a given corridor w/o violation of N-1 criterion

 Remove bottle necks


in the electrical grid

=> increase your revenues


 increase supply of power
to the customer e.g. 100 MW for
2000 h/a can result in approximately

=> 4 MEuro/a revenues


(at ~ 20 Euro/MWh)

Performance characteristics
Differences to normal power transformers

 Power for which phase shifter is dimensioned


depends on maximum phase angle
 Higher insulation demands
 Larger, more complex tapped windings
 Demanding specs on OLTCs: step voltages,
switching power, reactance and capacitance of
large tapped windings
 Phase shift in load currents on a given core
limb cause additional stray flux, forces, losses
 Multitude of load cases to be checked for
optimisation
