Sažetak
The EU ecodesign regulation for power transformers is currently under revision. While no option for reducing energy losses can be ignored in light of the European Green Deal, there are concerns about what impact stricter minimum energy performance standards could have on costs and material use. To what extent do alternative design strategies or a systems approach to material use change how this subject is viewed? And how far will a decline in energy losses compensate for the extra capital investment? The European Copper Institute (ECI) conducted a quantitative comparison between various scenarios and design strategies.
