GSU Transformer for 10 MVA Hydropower Unit?
GSU Transformer for 10 MVA Hydropower Unit?
(OP)
Is a generator step up transformer typically specified for hydroelectric generators in the 10 MVA range or is a standard distribution transformer typically applied? I understand that GSU transformers have different specifications for power flow in the reverse direction for large generators but I am not sure if the units are even available in this power range.

I think those are the questions being implied.
There should be little difference between a GSU or any other transformer, unless you specify a condition of use that is not normal. The condition of use would be something like high harmonic, or alitutude, or cooling, or tempeture range.

Instead of tie transformer, why not connect the generator directly to 13.8 bus by a standard Yd GSU ?
