1) Power Transformer Market Expected to Deliver Dynamic Progression until 2028

Global Power Transformer Market – an Overview

The power transformer acts as an electric device that transfers energy between two or more circuits via electromagnetic induction. Power transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage before transmitting electrical energy from one place to another through wires. This accomplished by increasing the voltage of electric power via step-up transformers, enabling cost-effective transmission of electric power and distribution while avoiding the loss of heat. Consequently, power transformers have shaped the electrical energy supply industry, allowing generators to be located remotely from points of demand. Increasing demand for electrical energy, driven by emerging economies, extensive power plant capacities, along with the economic growth are some of the key drivers articulating the demand for power transformers globally.

2) E.ON to commission 2500 digital transformers:

German electric utility E.ON plans to commission 2500 digital transformer stations by the end of 2019.

The transformers will be used in the service areas of its four German distribution grid operators – Avacon, Bayernwerk, E.DIS and Hansewerk.

Starting this year, E.ON will solely install digital transformer stations in Germany in order to integrate the smart grid into E.ON’s distribution grids.
