I don't really know the source anymore, but I had the same question during my Bachelorthesis and found some formulas in an old dissertation about transformers.

If modelled as a PI-equivalent circuit you have:

ohmic resistance: The (rated) ohmic resistance is equivalent to the real part of the rated short circuit voltage u_k. -> u_k = sqrt[(u_r)^2) + (u_x)^2]. Usually u_k and u_r are given (u_x is often very small, so it is omitted in most cases).

inductance: Same here with the imaginary component u_x.


capacitance: sqrt(i_l^2 - P_fe/S_r)

conductance: P_fe/S_r

i_l is the relative "Leerlaufstrom" (I can't think of a decent translation, but Leerlauf is the contrary of short circuit and strom means current).
P_fe is the real Power loss due to the iron core.
S_r is the rated apparent Power of the transformer.


I hope this is not too confusing, because my technical englisch is not the best.

Oliver, wenn du möchtest, kann ich dir das Ganze auch noch mal auf Deutsch schreiben.

I am not a transformer modeling expert, but I'll do my best to answer your first two questions ...

1) The resistances are modeled in p.u. based on the system baseMVA and the baseKV at the "to" side of the transformer. 2) They are modeled on the "to" side of the transformer, which could be attached to the high or low voltage side.
3) This one I don't know the answer to.

Hi alltogether,
I’ve got the following three questions regarding transformator modeling in Matpower: 1)The series equivalence resistances are modeled in the casefiles just as the lines are but by also adjusting the calculation of the p.u. units of the resistances corresponding to the transformators ratio – is this correct? 2)All the resistances etc. are modeled on the low voltage side of the transformator – correct? 3)And how can the equivalence resistances coming from the iron losses and the main inductivity be modeled in the casefiles?
I do very much appreciate all kinds of helpful answers!
Best regards
Oliver Loesch
