Abstract
Governments and market players around the globe are making commitments to accelerate the decarbonization of electricity supply over the next decades. As power transformers today are designed for a long operational lifetime, this article analyzes the sensitivity of the life-cycle carbon footprint of transformers with conventional and semi-hybrid insulations under different power generation decarbonization paths – reaching 95% renewable electricity target by 2030, 2035, 2040 or 2050.
Keywords
