Dear authors, dear readers,
We are excited to announce our 2024 plans for Transformers Magazine. Today, we would like to remind you of our 2024 Editorial Calendar and show you what the upcoming editions of the magazine will focus on.
As usual, in 2024, we will bring you 4 regular and 2 special editions.
There are some topics which are becoming more prominent in the industry, and the focus on them is increasing. We call these topics “trending topics”, and in 2024, they are:
- Shortage of transformers
- Shortage of skilled labour
- Investments
- Manufacturing process
- EcoDesign
- Transformers for data centers and e-mobility
- Replacement decisions
- Regulatory environment
- Optimization of renewables integration into the grid
- Market demand for transformers (sustainable growth, scenarios for the future, etc.)
We hope to see many intriguing and thought-provoking articles on these topics in all of our 2024 issues.
Of course, in all of our issues, we also want to feature these evergreen topics, which are always relevant, important and interesting:
