Kuwait Steel is the single-largest manufacturer of steel rebar and billets in Kuwait and has been in operations since 1996. The entire process of steel manufacturing is dependent on continuous and reliable supply of electric power with the required power quality to run various production lines and machine. It is the distribution transformers installed at the manufacturing facility that help in supplying this important element in the production process – quality power.
Kuwait Steel plans to replace ned replacement of its distribution transformer with a digital transformer because the lifespan of distribution transformers extends to over 20 years and Kuwait Steel wanted its new transformers to not only meet the demands of today but also be future-ready.
Hitachi ABB Power Grids had the right solution for Kuwait Steel – the TXpert™ Enabled digital distribution transformer. It is a perfect combination of Hitachi ABB Power Grids’ trusted reliability in transformers with the latest in digital technology. “Considering the specific requirement of Kuwait Steel’s operations and their vision for leveraging digital technology, we recommended our new solution, the TXpert™ Enabled digital distribution transformer for Transformer No-2. This transformer not only collects, collates and processes transformer data, but its powerful suite of analytics provides actionable insights that eventually help the customer to save costs and increase revenue” said, Dr. Mostafa AlGuezeri, Managing Director of Hitachi ABB Power Grids business in the UAE, Gulf and Near East.
The TXpert™ Enabled digital transformer works cohesively with the TXpert™ Ecosystem of powerful digital technology developed by Hitachi ABB Power Grids. This ecosystem for digitalisation of transformers is open, scalable and manufacturer agnostic with a complete suite of products, software, services and solutions.
The new TXpert™ Enabled distribution transformer by Hitachi ABB Power Grids will be commissioned at Kuwait Steel’s facility in its Rolling Mill – RM1.
