Transformer models have been used to interpret and
analyze the transformer behavior, but they have been com-
monly limited to a narrow bandwidth centered in the power
frequency.
In this paper, a novel procedure to obtain transformer
models, that are able to represent the transformer behavior
in a wide frequency bandwidth, is presented and applied to
a 25 kVA 16 kV/420 V YNYn distribution transformer. e
accuracy of the model is evaluated comparing the simulation
and actual responses, obtained by an FRA test.
Finally, the transformer model is used as part of an AC-
DC-AC power electronic converter. e exact knowledge of
the frequency behavior allows taking advantage of the l-
tering characteristics associated with the leakage inductance
and shunt capacitance of the windings, saving the use of the
external C lter in the nal stage of the 3-phase setup.
2. Modeling Procedure
e proposed solution to obtain a wide frequency model is
based on a novel modeling procedure developed in [7] whose
main features are as follows.

2.3. Experimental Validation. e third and last stage in the
proposed modeling procedure consists in the experimental
validation of the resulting model. e model is approved
if it is able to simulate the FRA measurements. For this
contribution, a 25 kVA, 16.125 kV/420 V YNyn two-winding
three-phase distribution transformer (Figure 9) has been
measured with an FRA commercial device and modeled by
implementing the mathematical algorithm in mathemati-
cal/simulationsoware. e calculated parameters are shown
in Table 1 where they are split using the submodel division.
Figures 10 and 11 show the comparison between the
actual measurement and the simulated response of the model
implemented in MATLAB Simulink.
e modeling procedure is able to produce general
models with the following features.
(i) e transformer behavior in a wide frequency band-
width is related with the parameters of the model.
(ii) e submodels are obtained based on general and
common physical principles, and particularizations
for specic transformers are avoided. However, if
particularization needed to be considered, it could be
solved with a concrete analysis of the electromagnetic
eld, as shown in Section 2.1.
(iii) e vector group connection is independent of the
electrical structure that represents the physical behav-
ior of the transformer. As a result, any possible vector
group can be modeled by changing the terminal
connections of the model. is same conclusion can
be applied for any FRA measurement setup.
(iv) Modeling of -windings transformer is straightfor-
ward. Only the addition of number of winding
submodels is needed.
(v) Modeling of the autotransformer is straightforward.
Only an external series connection of series and
mutual windings is needed.

F 13: Upper (le) trace: PWM voltage; upper (right) trace: 3 phase to phase symmetrical voltages when lter is used; lower trace: 3
phase to phase symmetrical voltages when transformer model is used.
e capability of the resulting models can be exploited
for sensitivity analysis, FRA traces interpretation, and imple-
mentation of simulation systems. at allows knowing
exactly the transformer behavior in a wide frequency band-
width in order to be used in the design process of power elec-
tronics converters as it is shown in the following Section 3.
3. AC-DC-AC Converter Application
e DC-AC conversion needs a lter in order to obtain a
sinusoidal waveform from a PWM voltage waveform, avoid-
ing the high frequency components. is task usually can be
solved with the addition of an lter on the last stage of the
converter. However, that solution implies an economic cost
and total volume increase (critical for transport applications)
due to the addition of and components. Moreover,
an additional adaptation stage could be needed in order to
increase/reduce the voltage amplitude of the inverter.
e use of a PET could solve at the same time the ltering
and adaptation necessities. However, an accurate transformer
model, as the one presented in previous paragraphs, is needed
to assure a complete comprehension of its frequency response
and therefore the behavior (losses, voltage regulator, and so
on) when working as part of a DC-AC converter.
Inthe following example, the transformer model is imple-
mented and simulated as part of an AC-DC-AC converter
(Figure 12) based on the power electronic model named
power_bridges.mdl in MATLAB SimPowerSystems.
e converter consists in a rst stage where a DC voltage
of 1000 volts is obtained. e second stage consists in a
PWM inverter to obtain 3 phase to phase PWM voltages.
One of the three voltages in the 3-phase converter, named as
ab
_inverter, has been plotted in the upper side of Figure 13.

4. Conclusions
e newdevelopment of smart grids involves the use of power
electronic equipment and new challenges in the operation
of the power transformers. erefore, the knowledge of its
behavior in a wide frequency bandwidth, not limited to the
power frequency (50/60 Hz), is a necessity.
A novel modeling procedure to obtain the transformer
model in a wide frequency bandwidth is presented. e
main feature of the model is its capability of interpreting
the physical behavior by means of electrical parameters. at
allows developing simulations, design revision, or sensitivity
analysis in order to take advantages of the capabilities of
the transformer in power electronics design or avoid risky
situations as additional losses, overheating, or overvoltages
due to high frequency components.
