About Smart Transformer
Smart transformers, also known as solid-state transformers, control the electric distribution grid. They provide optimized voltage by maintaining the contact with the smart grid to provide feedback about the transformer and power supply through remote administration. Large commercial facilities are increasingly using these transformers, as they cater to the energy needs of the facility efficiently and economically.
In addition, smart transformers act as voltage regulators by instantly responding to the fluctuations. This helps in reducing the consumption of energy without disturbing the optimized voltage and provides optimal power supply to the electrical equipment. Thus, these transformers are increasingly preferred in Point of Common Coupling (PCC) in grids, which helps in protecting the electrical equipment during power fluctuations. Many vendors such as Miracle Electronics offer smart transformers.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global smart transformer market to grow at a CAGR of 15.25% during the period 2017-2021.
