E-Lesson: Txpert™ Digital Distribution Transformer For Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

This means there will be fast-growing clusters of the LV network where consumers are able to invest in EV’s. Here, a paradigm shift of the load profile on distribution networks is expected to take place upon full EV penetration. However, limiting EV penetration is not an option for the utility or the government as the push for green energy gains momentum. The development of supporting technologies such as the distribution transformer for EV charging is also very urgent. Any distribution transformer failure due to EV charging would be a severe blow to EV adoption.

ABB has developed the world’s first digital distribution transformer to meet the evolving needs of today’s grid with focus on EV charging. The TXpert digital distribution transformer measures, stores, and trends operating data and calculates transformer consumed life. It uses mature and reliable sensing technology with industrial computing components integrated directly into the transformer during manufacturing. TXpert increases LV network visibility, increases transformer optimized utilisation, provides accurate estimate of transformer retirement age. With added intelligence in distribution transformers, utilities can reduce operation costs, increase uptime, optimize maintenance, and avoid unplanned outages.
