Thermocycling (Loading) and Its Effects on Distributed Photovoltaic Grid Transformers

In most of the geographical locations in the United States, solar power facilities experience a steady-state loading when inverters are operating. When the sun comes out, there is a dampened reaction process and loading on the transformer is more constant. The entire process is controlled by the insolation number in a particular location. The no-load operation of such transformers is completely controlled by a different set of parameters.

The distributed energy generation from photovoltaic cells is not constant during the day as the incoming solar radiation varies. The presence of intermittent clouds can affect the overall irradiance available at a location. ...
