Experiment Specification Definition
| ID | 01.01.01 |

| Reference to Test Specification | 01 |
| Title of Experiment | Control of voltage with an on-load tap change controller |
| Research Infrastructure | UDEX |
| Experiment Realisation | The combination of the OLTC and the conventional transformer is called a "smart-transformer". The test is carried out with real components in a real network with no simulation required. During the test, drops and overvoltages would be applied by instantaneously connecting and disconnecting parts of the grid components where the smart-transformer is connected, while at its output the physical quantities would be measured to check that they comply with the required setpoint previously configured. |
| Experiment Setup (concrete lab equipment) |
Specific lab equipment includes:
|
| Experimental Design and Justification | The experiment requires the use of a real controllable network environment and so justifies the use of the UDEX infrastructure. The open possibilities of different grid voltages ranging from 0-36KV to demonstrate the objectives set out for this experiment, with a flexibility in the grid configuration providing flexibility in the load and generation characteristics requires a laboratory infrastructure such as the UDEX. |
| Precision of equipment and measurement uncertainty | System uncertainty <5% |
| Storage of experiment data | Experimental data is collated locally in files for posterior analysis if required. |
