*** Do you think it makes sense to further tighten #energyefficiency of distribution #transformers in Europe? *** While there is a variety of situations and particular cases, we wanted to make a comprehensive analysis using a 630 kVA unit as an example. Here are our findings: ??#energysavings: EU-27 potential of Tier3 in distribution transformers is estimated 1.8 TWh/year. ??#financialsavings: Total cost of ownership of Tier3 is similar or lower than for the current Tier2. ??? #resourceefficiency: Tier3 leads to bigger transformers, but the additional material needs are moderated by a reduced need for generation, transmission and distribution assets. ?? #size: When aluminium designs get too bulky / heavy in their Tier 3 versions, a good alternative is to shift to #copper, which has a significantly smaller footprint and weight, while their total cost of ownership remains comparable to that of their aluminium counterpart. ?? #lifecycleassessment: Most LCA impact categories improve with Tier 3. Climate Change and Energy Use impact categories improve even more when aluminium windings are replaced by #copper. Find here below the slides presented at CWIEME Events (Coil Winding, Insulation, & Electrical Manufacturing Exhibition) in May 2024. #climatechange #energyuse #sustainability #lca #circulareconomy Transformers Forum Transformers Magazine Hitachi Energy Siemens Energy Schneider Electric Alberto Cracco Anita Gianelli Anu K?r?j?m?ki Arune Pasukonyte Bruno De Wachter Carlos Martin Gutierrez Catarina Augusto Christophe ELLEAU Diana Gonzalez Diederik Peereboom T&D Europe Fabio Scatiggio Flavio Mauri Florine Cardin Genis Egea Gerry Finnegan Gunther Schoovaerts Gyula Hipszki Jean-Christophe Riboud Martin Reilly Michael Heinz Christina Iosifidou Miguel Martínez Ronderos Pablo Cirujano Ormazabal Paul Waide Philipp von Normann Philippe Tailhades Radoslaw Szewczyk Roberto Fernández Jardón serge mercier-marical Wim De Maesschalck Wim Van Vaerenbergh

?? I'm against to any ideas which lead to increased demand for critical raw materials, like aluminium and copper. Production of each kilogram of additionally demanded critical material will increase real CO2 emission NOW, which won't be compensated later on, when already green sources will provide electrical energy. In other side, if available, we need to direct additional, preferably recycled copper and aluminium to areas where they can support energy efficiency targets much-more effectively than in transformer business. Just to consider your Tier 3b example: based on load losses and reported copper quantity, the average rated current density in the copper is less than 1.6 A/mm2. In any copper cable the permitted current density is about 3.2 A/mm2. As ohmic losses are proportional to 2nd function of the current density, 10% loss reduction in 1 kg cable provides about 4-times higher CO2 reduction like in 1 kg transformer winding (hopefully my quick calculation is correct).
