This article aims to present the power transformers supplied by non-sinusoidal voltages or supplying non-linear loads. A number of factors determine the use of such transformers- the continuous increase of photovoltaic power station, the number of non-linear loads in our homes and industry has also grown significantly over the last decade. On the other hand, more and more consumers need a stable and sinusoidal supply voltage. All these factors pose a number of problems to be solved and affect the operation of the power transformers. The article present the types of non-sinusoidal loads and their influence on the operation of the transformer-increasing the losses and the temperature of the transformer. The types of transformers according to the type of load are presented. Various solutions (with their advantages and disadvantages) to reduce the impact of non-sinusoidal voltages or supplying non-linear loads.

The problem with the amount of carbon emissions generated when burning organic fuels is directly related to the efficiency of the applied technology. One of the factors indicating a significant influence on the thermal efficiency of the installations is the temperature of the cooling water entering the condensers of the steam turbines. Maintaining this temperature, in an annual aspect, is a significant operational problem, for the solution of which an idea is considered in this article.

Business models are an integral part of any innovation and change in how certain economic activities and relationships are carried out. Business models are of use of already existing or improved product/services, definition of market participant roles or even when a new project is planning. Driven by the energy transformation (change in both energy production and consumption behavior), a solution is proposed for the challenges that strives to enable DSO to procure flexibility services (intentional change in production/consumption at and for a certain period of time in a specific location against remuneration).

This paper investigates the energy consumption of a microcontroller with an embedded FPGA microprocessor. Three programs combining logical operators typical for optimal control algorithm applications are implemented, and their energy consumption is estimated. Measurement setup for direct voltage and current measurements have been designed and used for FPGA controller testing during dynamic operation. The power and energy consumption have been calculated, and longterm power supply considerations have been made. Discussion on di/dt dynamics requirements estimation, for battery supplied IoT controllers, is also made.

The actual average values of the impedance of traction networks operated in Bulgaria are used in the work. Impedance values are measured during controlled short-circuits in different feeder zones. Based on a computer model, the traction network reactions during a short-circuit are checked. A physical model was developed for simulating short-circuits in traction nets at different distances from the traction substation and the used voltage and current transformers.
