Abstract
In this article, an investigation is conducted for a 50/62.5 MVA, 154/33.6kV ONAN/ONAF transformer on the carbon emission equivalent (tCO2-e equivalent) of different designs that derive from different loss requirements in the technical specification. The impact of such specifications
for Middle Eastern countries will be shared. Furthermore, the article will compare the outcomes of cost, total ownership cost and total life cycle carbon emission assessment and will demonstrate that an effective and appropriate specification will impact and help procure transformers
with the lowest total life cycle cost, including metrics such as tCO2-e equivalent.
