Abstract
This article investigates the use of combination of ester fluids and high-temperature paper insulation in designing environmentally and economically optimized transformers that balance material and energy efficiency for countries with high penetration of low and zero carbon
generation sources. In particular, the semi-hybrid design approach has been investigated for 40/60 MVA, 132/33 kV transformers to evaluate the impact on the carbon footprint, compared to conventional designs.
Keywords
