In this case study, the authors have reviewed the conventional techniques used to mitigate the overvoltage problem and observe that they have several disadvantages. So, it is suggested a novel technique that relies on a minor modification made to the secondary windings of the distribution transformer: an extra tapping is pulled out from each of the secondary windings into a separate PV junction box which is the modified Point of Common Coupling (PCC)...

Dielectric frequency response analysis is a powerful tool used to determine the water content in power transformers and to assess their condition and remaining lifetime. By using improved algorithms like PDC+, the measurement time can be drastically reduced. Further automation of the whole measurement and assessment process makes the technique easy and reliable for all users. - Martin Anglhuber

If we look at the huge costs of maintenance, repairs & replacements for oil type transformers spent every year, then the differential cost between oil type and dry type transformers should not be a too big amount, if it helps reduce transformer failures… - Aviral Gautama, Sailesh Purohit
