VRDT are the key to efficient grid integration of renewables and low carbon technologies in distribution networks.

From 2003 to 2008 Franco Pizzutto has studied Power Engineering Studies at the University of Applied Sciences Ansbach in Germany. From 2008 on he worked in the order processing for power transformer OLTCs. From 2013 on he dedicated himself to OLTCs especially designed for Distribution Transformers integrating distributed renewable energy sources. Since 2017 he is Business Development Manager for small OLTCs, focusing on the application in the distribution network and in wind turbine generator transformers.

Testing of distribution transformers is a complex process. The need for accurate measurement of losses and the integration of standardized and customized tests into a highly automated production chain places strong demands on test systems.

After having absolved an apprenticeship to power electronics technician (1999-2002), Stefan Bergmann studied electrical engineering at the Technical University of Dresden, Germany. He received his academic degree (M.Sc.E.E.) in 2007. Since 2007 he worked for AREVA NP GmbH in Germany and Finland, mainly focussing on the design of MV distribution systems in nuclear power plants. Stefan joined HIGHVOLT Prüftechnik Dresden GmbH in 2012. After being responsible for the sales activities in the South- and North-American market for several years, he is currently working as Area Sales Manager in South East Asia.
