Green Power Transformers High eco-efficiency A major benefit of the Green Power Transformer range is its optimized life cycle cost. In our standardised process, design choice and high-performance materials achieve low losses for the optimal capitalised cost of the transformer. GE’s innovative hermetically sealed tank design, equipped with patented expandable radiators, goes a step further in reducing life cycle costs: it reduces maintenance, extends life time by preventing contact between the oil and moisture, and oxygen in the atmosphere. Hermetically sealed tank design reduces cellulosic...

Key references Bringing the bulk of energy closer to consumption centres and investigating green solutions EDF Energy installed the first purpose-built 132/33 kV 90 MVA 3phase Green Power Transformer filled with ester in the United Kingdom. Located in Luton’s interconnection substation, it is equipped with our MS monitoring system to ensure the highest availability possible during operation. This power transformer is installed close to consumption centers, and the liquid is made from edible soya beans, which are fully biodegradable and have greater fire resistant properties. Lowering...
