Renewable Energy Collector Transformers
Published by 1. Waldemar ZIOMEK, 2. Krishnamurthy VIJAYAN, PTI Transformers LP, Winnipeg, MB, Canada ORCID: 1. 0000-0002-1216-6513 Abstract. The renewable energy collector transformer (RCT) in a solar station, or a wind farm, transforms the voltage from the collector system to the transmission level voltages. As the primary goal is stepping up the voltage, the RCTContinue reading “Renewable Energy Collector Transformers”
