Title: Transformer power management controllers and transformer power management methods

Abstract

Transformer power management controllers and transformer power management methods are described. According to one aspect, a transformer power management controller includes processing circuitry configured to monitor an electrical characteristic of electrical energy which is received from a secondary of a transformer of an electric power system, use the monitored electrical characteristic to determine transformer loading information which is indicative of an amount of power which is being supplied by the secondary of the transformer to a plurality of loads which are coupled with the secondary of the transformer, and use the transformer loading information to adjust an amount of the electrical energy which is supplied by the secondary of the transformer to at least one of the loads which is coupled with the secondary of the transformer.
