FERNANDES, H. S et al. Software to manage transformers using intelligent electronic device. Ing. Investig. [online]. 2016, vol.36, n.1, pp.85-89. ISSN 0120-5609. https://doi.org/10.15446/ing.investig.v36n1.48104.
Power companies usually answer the increase in power demand by building new generation facilities. Nevertheless, an efficient use of energy could reduce and delay the costs of investment in new power plants. This paper shows a software system to manage transformers and evaluate losses when they work with zero loads. This system contributes to reduce the waste of energy with some simple actions such as shutting off an unused transformer or reconnecting disabled equipment based on the customer's demand. It uses real time measurements collected from Intelligent Electronic Devices as a base for software decisions. It also measures and reports the total power saving.
