Energy systems are undergoing basic changes, with the trends that we see as the four D’s: demand growth, decentralization, decarbonization, and digitalization.
Suppliers have a very high impact on the quality level, delivery reliability, and cost competitiveness of transformer operation.
Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen is the world market leader in the control of power transformers using on-load tap changers.
The challenges that utilities face today are the rise of renewables, digitalisation, the increase of pro-sumers, etc.
DGA is a multidisciplinary and complex field, yet it is one of the most informative diagnostics tools for power transformers available nowadays.
The UN Sustainability Development Goals were established in 2015 with clearly defined targets set for 2030, with the goal to solve the biggest challenges.
The reduction of losses can have a great impact on the reduction of transformer’s carbon footprint
Demand for transformers is driven by electrical energy demand, which is dictated by population and industrial growth.
A suitable and increasingly popular solution for high population densities in the urban areas is the use of power transformers within the underground substation.
Sustainability encourages making decisions and developing products and services, taking into account their environmental, social, and human impacts.
The third part of the Standardisation article covers CIGRÉ, an organisation that publishes technical brochures or reports written by experts.
Transformer health indexing has become a popular tool for performing transformer health assessments on a larger fleet of transformers.
MICAFLUID from Switzerland is on a mission to give a longer and better life to transformers.
First book on transformers published anywhere, just three years after patenting transformers.
The main challenges in applying virtual twin models and prototypes is the long simulation times that make it difficult to explore designs in development and to forecast scenarios during...
The proper functioning of oil and SF6 insulated equipment, which are essential components of electrical grids around the world, is critical.
As the acquisition of operation data concerning the technical state of the transformer is limited during its lifetime, it is crucial to use all available samples.
Röchling is a manufacturer of insulation material made of high-quality laminated pressboard designed to address the highest demands on electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties.
The life of the transformer depends on the quality of insulation which depends on temperature and moisture level.
From the inconvenient to the catastrophic, a transformer failure can mean anything from a slight glitch to months of business disruption.
