Hungary, Budapest: The first intelligent transformers have been manufactured at Ganz Transformers and Electric Rotating Machines Ltd.
So far, the company has produced three new transformers already equipped with the intelligent monitoring solution. For next year, the company has so far received orders for 18 more transformers equipped with the digital monitoring system. With this new development, the company aims to make the electricity industry more sustainable through intelligent transformers and the transformer market more efficient through 21st-century digital solutions. Ganz also expects to build an even stronger market position in both Hungary and the international arena thanks to the new development and the quality of service it will provide.
The company, which manufactures transformers, high-power electric motors and generators, and services high-voltage equipment, has produced the first three transformers that now include an intelligent monitoring system developed in partnership with the German company, Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen. And further 18 orders have been so far received for intelligent transformers.
“With the launch of Ganz Intelligent Solutions, a new digital and intelligent era of transformers is about to begin, and we are proud that Ganz’s pioneering role is once again being demonstrated in the 21st century by developing digital solutions that will benefit the entire industry. Our company’s aim is to make the benefits of our intelligent solution available to the widest possible target group within the industry. So, from now on, we will only produce intelligent transformers at our factory in Tápiószele, and in case it is required, we can also supply the monitoring system to previously produced transformer units. The newly introduced Ganz Intelligent Solutions will thus not only contribute to the green turn of the industry but support our growth plans and further strengthen our international position as well,” said Jan Prins, managing director of the Ganz Transformers and Electric Rotating Machines Ltd.
The solution offers condition-based maintenance, extending the lifetime of transformers equipped with digital monitoring systems and ensuring that they only need maintenance when their condition requires it, thus reducing material use and associated carbon emissions.
In addition, the solution also enables the possibility to optimise the operation and better use of transformers. An excellent example of this is that the transformer can be prepared for a higher load cycle by monitoring the mains values, which allows the overload period to take place with significantly lower lifetime losses. The flexible system also provides the possibility to measure the thermal condition of the transformer, to analyse the chemical composition of the oil content, to optimise equipment utilisation, to optimise cooling and to prepare for the overload period by pre-cooling.
