A few weeks ago, we had a conversation with Wang Xiangyang, General Manager of PTTX, to discuss the origin of PTTX’s leapfrog development.
Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen’s solutions for controlling load flow and voltage quality help a steadily growing population achieve attractive living conditions.
How ambitious sustainability goals extend beyond decarbonization in Siemens Energy’s own operations and must be pursued holistically
At the origin of our research is the basic fact that the electricity grid will need to be heavily reinforced to allow for the growth in renewable production.
Decarbonization is driving an accelerated shift from fossil-based to renewable power generation, as well as a substantial increase in the electrification.
The use of transformers to convert various levels of voltages is at the core of energy supply and paramount for the use of electricity in our homes.
Over the past two years, sustainability has developed into a business-critical issue for utility companies, grid operators and transformer manufacturers.
In the last few decades, we are all aware that climate change and global warming have emerged as important environmental issues.
The energy sector, in particular, is challenged to offer a balance between the security of supply and societal sustainability demands.
Traditionally, power transformers use an insulation system that comprises cellulose insulation immersed in mineral oil.
As 100 % natural, reusable and recyclable, cork is one of the world’s most versatile materials from an environmental, social or economic perspective.
The role of switchgear in the power sector, especially in the transmission and distribution sector, has become increasingly crucial over the years.
Implementation of biodegradable liquids isn’t something new in Končar Instrument transformers.
The active part of a transformer can be defined as the magnetic core, the windings, and the solid insulation in and around the windings.
Technical solutions to improve the energy performance of power transformers are mature and commercially available.
The carbon footprint of transformers during the life cycle, including raw materials, production and operation stages has been analysed.
