Digitisation of tap changers: Modernising power transformers efficiently

Renewable energies and distributed energy resources are reflections of the era of energy transition. Smart grids with optimal load distribution are now closer to becoming reality. However, what happens to the existing substations in the distribution net-works? Will they able to handle the requirements, now that power quality concerns are emerging more and more? What is to happen to the older systems which now still operate manually or semi-manually? What is to be done about distribution networks with power transformers that are based on different technologies?
