Distribution transformers are an important part of the electricity grid which have to operate under extreme conditions, including extreme temperatures, overloading, voltage fluctuations and natural calamities. This means that equipment manufacturers are required to implement robust design considerations crucial for offshore wind applications where distribution transformers operate in a remote and harsh marine environment.

Once the design considerations are adopted by the OEMs, it is expected that the performance and lifespan of distribution transformers will increase, thus improving the reliability of the overall power system in the long run.
