Martin Stössl
Innovation & Standardisation Manager Siemens Energy Austria GmbH
Martin Stoessl is Innovation & Standardisation manager in the area of Grid Technology at Siemens Energy Austria GmbH. He started with calculation of power transformers and was later responsible for technical design calculation and strategic contracts in Near East at ELIN in 1989. Since 2000 Martin Stoessl focused on process organization and he was business improvement director for Siemens Transformers worldwide.
In 2009 he changed to the research and development area and became the Head of R&D of Siemens Transformers Austria. From 2012 to 2019 he managed the global technology centre, which contained beside research and development, offer & order engineering as well as global operation support for Siemens Large Power Transformer. From 2020 to 2024 he was responsible for value co-creation with customers and developed a fire safe substation concept – PRETACT EcoSafeT ® – for a safe and sustainable energy supply for the future. Since 2023 he has been Innovation and Standardisation Manager for Grid Technology of Siemens Energy. In this role he is active in several international standardization bodies and associations like CIGRE, IEEE, GEIDCO, T&D Europe and Digital Europe to name just a few.
Currently he represents Austria in T&D Europe and in the CIGRE Study Committee A2 – Transformers.

Empowering the Energy Transition: The Role of on-load tap-changer Equipped Transformers in Grid Sust
Decarbonisation of the energy sector is very important to stay on track for the 1,5°C climate target. Renewable energies such as wind are significantly contributing to the goal of reducing CO2 emissions. Transformers equipped with on-load tap-changers are key components for energy transition in all voltage levels of energy supply networks as well as in a nacelle. Due to the special nature of wind energy generation, specific requirements may be placed on these transformers, such as compact, lightweight and rupture-proof design. These requirements can also be relevant in other applications.
This presentation highlights the latest developments in the transformer and on-load tap-changer sector leading the way to a sustainable energy supply.
• Latest developments in the transformer and on-load tap-changer sector leading the way to a sustainable energy supply
• Specific requirements for transformers in application like nacelles
• Rupture-proof transformer design for application other than nacelles
