Smart Transformers Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Report Description

Smart Transformers Market was valued at ~US$ 2 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~13% over the forecast period (2021-2027). Smart Transformer, as an integral part of Smart Grid solutions works independently to frequently regulate voltage and maintain contact with Smart Grid and allow remote administration and to provide information and feedback about the power supply and the transformers itself. Smart transformer acts as a power regulator which provide the exact amount of power needed and responds instantly to fluctuations within the power grid. Furthermore, smart transformers include multiple intelligent electronic devices or control systems, which can assess the condition of the transformer and make intelligent recommendations based on design and component data. Major benefits of smart transformer include 75% lower core energy loss, compared to the conventional transformers, smart transformer delivers greater consumptions savings, contributes towards CSR by reducing CO2 emissions, remote monitoring allows for greater visibility of transformers operations, Reduce operating costs. These transformers have an expected lifespan of up to 50 years and more. Online remote monitoring capabilities also act as the one of the major benefits of a smart transformer. Using Internet of Things (IoT) enabled technology, these transformers can allow 24/7 visibility of asset data to better understand how transformer is performing and identify where further efficiencies can be made
