    Dear Readers,

    I believe you will all agree that the digitalization is a trend that has been dominant in our industry for the last two years. During that time, the so-called digital transformers which are designed for connectivity, digitalization and exchange of data and transformer parameters appeared on the market. Interestingly, Siemens called their digital transformer Sensformer, demonstrating the great trust in the concept. They are sending the message that it is not just the transformer with a new functionality, but much more. Dr. Beatrix Natter often emphasises that factories make digital model first, and only when the digital model I.e. digital twin completely meets all the requirements, the physical twin is being manufactured. Apart from added value for transformer users and grid operators, she emphasises new learning possibilities, but also attracting the new generation of engineers by applying such concepts.
