The need to update AS 2374.1.2 energy efficiency standard for distribution transformers
Distribution transformers play an important role in achieving the ambitious energy efficiency targets set by Australian government. Distribution transformers are of high value in terms of energy efficiency because of the number of installed units in the country. The minimum efficiency target level is legislated as per AS 2374.1.2 Energy Efficiency Standard for Distribution Transformers.
In this webinar, a review of the present energy performance metrics, especially the efficiency at 50% load is reviewed, paying particular attention to the Australian market which uses the AS 2374.1.2 standard.
The need to update the AS 2374.1.2 standard will be illustrated based on the following:
- A comparison between AS 2374.1.2 with the IEC 60076-20 metrics.
- Comparison of AS 2374.1.2 against the 5 global tiers.
- Importance of Total cost of Ownership and Load factor in loss capitalization, especially the ENA 007 formula.
- Alternative metrics such as no-load and load loss values and peak efficiency index.
