Investigating the impact of transformer specification on the life cycle carbon emissions: A case study for Middle East Countries
In this article, an investigation is conducted for a 50/62.5 MVA, 154/33.6kV ONAN/ONAF transformer on the carbon emission equivalent of different designs.

In this article, an investigation is conducted for a 50/62.5 MVA, 154/33.6 kV ONAN/ONAF transformer on the carbon emission equivalent (tCO2-e equivalent) of different designs that derive from different loss requirements in the technical specification. The impact of such specifications for Middle Eastern countries will be shared. Furthermore, the article will compare the outcomes of cost, total ownership cost and total life cycle carbon emission assessment and will demonstrate that an effective and appropriate specification will impact and help procure transformers with the lowest total life cycle cost, including metrics such as tCO2-e equivalent.

Transformer technical specification is the first step in establishing the long-term reliability of transformers. From a user perspective, a technical specification formally communicates what the manufacturer must deliver. From a manufacturer’s perspective, a technical specification offers the ability to provide an appropriate and optimised solution, meeting both technical and commercial aspects while remaining a long-term profitable business.
