Abstract:
1. A system for implementing a smart transformer, comprising: a processor; and a balancing algorithm residing on the processor; wherein the balancing algorithm is stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer executable program code embodied thereon, the computer executable program code configured to cause the system to monitor and control an electric customer load and generation in order to optimize the performance of a distribution transformer; wherein the processor receives a plurality of system inputs and uses the balancing algorithm to determine a rating of the transformer and an amount of customer load; wherein the processor uses the balancing algorithm to determine an optimum dispatch of customer load that will prevent overload of the distribution transformer; wherein the processor receives a plurality of user inputs comprising two or more user inputs selected from the group consisting of: loading guidelines; interval; nameplate KVA; and voltage; wherein the loading guidelines include % rated KVA allowed as a decimal based on hot spot temperature, oil temperature, and ambient temperature.
