Panel Discussion: The Impact of a Potential Tighter Energy Performance Regulation for Transformers

The current Ecodesign regulation for transformers (EU 2019/1783) is under review. Two important items being analysed are the pertinence of higher energy performance standards, as well as the introduction of circular economy requirements. The European Copper Institute has conducted a quantitative comparison between various scenarios and design strategies, determining the total cost of ownership and the impact in terms of material use and life cycle assessment.

  • Can alternative design strategies uncouple energy efficiency from material use?
  • How far do lower energy losses reduce the material use in power generation?
  • Will the saving in energy losses compensate for the higher unit cost?
