There’s a power paradox at play. The power utilities sector is at the heart of the electrification of the industry yet is reliant on its own modernization to meet growing demand – and more sustainably.
For the world to achieve net-zero, it is estimated that electricity must account for 30% of
global energy consumption by 2030*. That’s an increase of approximately 3.5% every year.
To cope, grids will need some $600 billion USD of investment per annum**. Yet change won’t happen overnight, placing mounting stress on existing equipment and operators.
Higher loads and operating temperatures, plus increasingly remote locations and extreme
conditions, mean protecting peak performance has never been more challenging.
Choosing the right transformer oil is vital.
Our Shell Diala range of high-performance transformer oils has been engineered to extend oil drain intervals and keep your components in service, longer – even in harsh conditions.
Diala S5 BD has high breakdown voltage to ensure excellent electrical insulating***, with resistance to degradation and enhanced protection from oxidation and copper-sulphur corrosion****.
Shell Diala S5 BD readily biodegradable and Shell Diala S4 ZX-IG is inherently biodegradable and recyclable. Shell Diala can be reused as dielectric fluid, meeting all the requirements for recycled mineral insulating oils as defined in IEC60296. Shell addresses CO2 emissions for the full product life cycle. Supporting natural-based solutions and projects using methodologies that help to minimise the total amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere through the purchasing and retirement of carbon credits.
