1.1  Introduction to Distributed Photovoltaic (DPV) Grid Power Transformers

The increase in oil prices over the past several years has encouraged all scientists, engineers, and economists to look for alternative energy sources. One of these is the abundant sun’s energy which can be harnessed into reusable electric energy to supplement and eventually be a major factor in the overall energy generation, transmission, and delivery equation to customers.

Wind energy, solar energy, and ocean wave energy have recently become noticeable players in this exchange. While the penetration is the most important aspect of sustaining these alternative energies, considerable research and development work has been dedicated to the ancillary ...
