IMPULSOS para un suministro eléctrico sostenible

Lo que dicen los fabricantes de transformadores sobre el VRDT

South America's champions of the energy transition

The energy transition is also making progress in South America. Brazil, Chile and Colombia in particular are investing heavily in the expansion of wind and solar power plants. In order for these to be connected to the grid, the grid infrastructure must be converted and smart transformers must be installed.

"Transitioning to a solution provider presents a major opportunity for transformer manufacturers – and digitalization can help!"

Between dynamic grids, global markets and an almost unthinkable number of digitalization solutions, complexity in the transformer industry is increasing. Jürgen Ach, Director of Automation at Reinhausen, sees major opportunities for manufacturers, however.

Digitalization turnaround: GANZ Intelligent Solutions relies on cooperation with MR

To also ensure grid stability in the future, grid operators can rely on support from their transformer manufacturers.

Traction Transformers – Future on the Rail

Tomorrow's mobility will increasingly take place by rail. For this, locomotive engines need special transformers – so-called traction transformers.

Time of the giants: XXL transformers for more power

The energy transition, sector coupling and population growth are causing the demand for electrical energy to grow enormously. The trend is therefore toward ever larger and more powerful transformers. Three areas are particularly affected by this.

"Reinhausen is ready to deliver!"

Supply chains around the world are jammed. Long delivery and waiting times are the result. Reinhausen can still deliver on time thanks to intelligent logistics chains.

Oversized de-energized tap-changers

If a de-energized tap-changer has to maintain a huge test voltage of 1,000 kV and switch 112 kV in a single step, you need real experts. That is why Canadian transformer manufacturer PTI came to Reinhausen.

"We are in a growth market with the VRDT"

Since 2012, Saxon-Bavarian Starkstrom-Gerätebau GmbH (SBG) has been delivering series-production VRDTs (regulated local grid transformers). Since then, they have become established as standard operating equipment for energy providers.

The most powerful transformers in the world for a 1,100 kV HVDC line in China

Siemens supplied 28 transformers for the converter station of a high-voltage direct current transmission (HVDC) project in China. And they included tap changers and composite hollow insulators from Reinhausen.

Top service for a long transformer life

Around 300 MR service technicians are on call worldwide. An order from the transmission grid operator ČEPS in the Czech Republic shows how regular tap-changer maintenance can support the secure energy supply of an entire country.

Precise condition assessment of transformers with TESSA® APM

With the expansion of the electricity grid and the integration of renewable energies, the demand for transformers is rising sharply. In view of the long delivery times for transformers, however, the monitoring and evaluation of these systems is becoming increasingly important in order to ensure safe operation.

Digital transformer check - MR provides training at thyssenkrupp's steelworks

No steel without electricity - but the purchase of new transformers costs a lot of time and money. The employees at thyssenkrupp in Duisburg therefore rely on the TESSA® FLEETSCAN 2D evaluation system from MR.

How ISO 55000 facilitates asset management

Sjouke Bootsma explains the key benefits of using the ISO 55000 standard for asset management at TenneT Netherlands.

Retrofit: Breathing new life into old transformers thanks to new tap changers

Reinhausen modernizes old transformers with new tap changers, thus extending their service life. This is the case for grid operator Elia in Belgium.

Clever fleet management for transformers

Using the FLEETSCAN 2D analysis system, asset and service managers always have an overview of the condition of their transformers, making it easier to plan maintenance, updates and investments.

Retrofit: Bushing monitoring for phase shifters

Bushings are one of the most important parts of the transformer. That is why Slovenian grid operator ELES relies on the MSENSE® BM monitoring system to ensure the power supply beyond its borders.

Lean solutions for transformer manufacturers

Increasing electricity demand, digitalization, energy transition - the demands on transformers in the global grid expansion are manifold. MR offers manufacturers such as Nantong Hyosung Co. Ltd in China lean system solutions to master this complexity.
