Sažetak
Distribution transformers are an important part of the electricity grid as they regulate the voltage levels as required. As these transformers have to operate under extreme conditions, including extreme temperatures, overloading, voltage fluctuations and natural calamities, the original equipment manufacturers are required to implement robust design considerations. These design considerations are 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, which will improve the reliability of the overall power system in the long run.
