Abstract
Monitoring for distribution transformers is still not widely accepted, the common notion being that these transformers can be easily stocked and replaced upon failure. Although data-driven transformer asset management advantages are recognized, many end users are reluctant to adopt, simply because of the extra upfront price. This article brings many case studies that show that digitalization
is cost-effective and lead to savings. Sustainability is also addressed in part II of the article since the digitalized transformers can be utilized in a more efficient way.
