1 Transformer EcoDesign Regulation No 548/2014 Overview & Clarification of the Regulation

2 The history of transformers Transformers have been in use since 1886 Built by William Stanley (working for Westinghouse) Used in Great Barrington, Massachusetts The design concept remains the same Copper and iron remain the core materials Steel composition has changed over the years Cooling methods have changed How a transformer is designed has changed

3 Transformers all around us Transformers are an every day essential component in the efficient distribution of electricity Without a transformer you don t get LV! They exist in a wide various of sizes There are 100,000 s installed in the UK Power stations Gid Grid substations ti DNO overhead line Wind farms...

6 Principle operation of a transformer A transformer works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. If an alternating flux produced by an alternating current in one coil links with a secondary coil, then an electro-motive force (e.m.f.) is induced in the second coil, the magnitude of which is given by Faraday s Law of Electromagnetic Induction Magnetic Flux Core Ip I s Vp E Ep T Tp T s Es V s Primary Coil Secondary Coil Schneider Electric - B.U.

7 Transformer losses > By the nature of the operation of a transformer, there is a heat loss created, due to current flow in conductors and a magnetic flux circulating around a magnetic core. > The heat loss given off is in effect the transformer waste. > For a specific transformer rating, the higher the loss = the less efficient the transformer > Transformers are inherently efficient transformers usually around 99% plus > A Copper Development Association survey estimated Distribution Transformer Losses represent 25% of the network losses in the UK system > Under peak load conditions these amount to 1300MW equivalent to the output of one large power station. > Transformer efficiency can be improved by design, by reducing the losses Confidential Property of Schneider Electric Schneider Electric - B.U.

10 Summary EcoDesign regulation imposes in EU the maximum level of losses for transformers Placed On The Market or Put Into Service after It has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union and came into force on June 11th After it will not tbe possible to place on the market transformers not fulfilling the minimum requirements Manufacturers are responsible to apply ppy the law Running frame contracts signed before June 11th 2014 can go on until the end date even with deliveries after July 1, UK Goverment has apointed the National Measurement Office (NMO) as the Verification Authority for the Eco Regulation for the UK NMO Position Paper dated 18th December 2014 provides clarification of the Regulation with regard to defining Placed on the Market and Putting Into Service Official EU documents at :

11 Rational : European Union commitments EU is implementing its « » program by 2020 : Reduction of 20 % of greenhouse gases emission Reduction of 20% of energy consumption Reach 20% from renewable energy in total production Power Transformer losses represents approx. 2.5% of total EU energy consumption By 2020, savings of approximately 16TWh/year are achievable with new regulation EcoDesign aims two major objectives on the Transformer product: Reduce electrical losses (1 st step in 2015/ 2 nd step in 2021) Clarify and make more visible indication of performance Harmonisation of maximum losses levels in European Union Efficiency request on MPT for the 1st time

12 EcoDesign impact on Transformers Oil Distribution & Cast Resin Transformers : New Defined Maximum level of losses for Oil Distribution and Cast Resin Dry Type Transformers up to and including 3150kVA Reduced Losses compared to transformers currently supplied Medium Power and Large Power Transformers: Defined Level of Peak Efficiency (Mix of load losses and no load losses) for transformers >3150kVA Special transformers are not impacted by this regulation Significant increase of Equipment cost and weights Reduction of operation cost (Total cost of ownership optimized)

13 NMO Postion Paper 18/12/2014 Position Paper Issued to Clarify Definitions of the Eco Regulation, specifically regarding Placed on the Market and Putting into Service. Excerpts from the Position Paper (grey text) :- The Regulation establishes ecodesign requirements for placing on the market or putting into service power Power Transformers with a minimum power rating of 1 kva used in 50 Hz electricity transmission and distribution networks or for industrial applications. The Regulation is only applicable to Power Transformers purchased after the entry into force of the Regulation. Placing on the Market is defined as making a product available for the first time on the Community market with a view to its distribution or use within the Community, whether for reward or free of charge and irrespective of the selling technique. Putting into Service means the first use of a product for its intended purpose by an end-user in the Community; Entry into force of the Regulations is 10 June 2014

14 NMO Postion Paper 18/12/2014 (continued) Excerpts from the Position Paper (grey text) :- Ready for use Power Transformers placed on the market before 1 July 2015 or purchased (as described in recital four of the regulation) prior to 10 June 2014, can remain in the distribution chain (e.g. in the stocks of DNO s) regardless of the scheduled changes in the legislative requirements. Power Transformers placed on the market before 1 July 2015 can be sold to the end-user and can be energised after 1 July 2015 without regard to this regulation, provided they are ready for use. Products are ready for use if they can be used as intended without the insertion of additional parts; if all parts from which they are to be assembled are placed on the market by one person only; if they only need to be mounted or plugged in; or they are placed on the market without the parts that are usually procured separately and inserted for the intended use (e.g. a cable for electric supply). In Summary :- Transformers manufactured prior to the 1 st July i.e. Placed on The Market do not have to meet the ECO Regulation loss levels These non ECO Regulation loss level transformers can be sold/supplied to customers after the 1 st July 2015 provided they are Placed On The Market prior to 1 st July 2015 These transformers can be installed, energised, commissioned etc after the 1 st July 2015 without regard to the Eco regulation

15 Transformer Losses Transformer Losses fall into two major categories:- 1) No Load Loss, also known as Iron Loss 2) Load Loss also known as Copper Loss Schneider Electric - B.U. Energy LoB Transformer EcoDesign Regulation A new Standard for Transformer 06/

16 Transformer Losses 1) No Load Loss or Iron Loss Iron Loss arises within the magnetic core of a transformer and is due to the energy consumed in hysteresis and eddy currents within the material as it is taken through its alternating cycles of magnetisation (UK 50 times per second i.e. 50Hz) The magnetic core of a transformer is made up of thin laminations of core steel which have a coating of insulation to reduce the eddy current build up within the complete core. Schneider Electric - B.U. Energy LoB Transformer EcoDesign Regulation A new Standard for Transformer 06/

17 Transformer Losses No Load Loss or Iron Loss (continued) The characteristics of heat output (loss) from core material varies based on the grade of material used and the working flux density There are two ways of reducing Iron Loss in a Transformer :- 1) Reduce flux density by increasing the cross sectional area of the magnetic core. 2) By using higher grades of core steel to reduce the watts/kg for a particular flux density. The No Load Loss of a Transformer is a Constant Loss ( does not vary with load) Either way or a combination of both means additional cost in the core Schneider Electric - B.U. Energy LoB Transformer EcoDesign Regulation A new Standard for Transformer 06/

18 Transformer Losses Load Loss or Copper Loss Load loss arises mainly as a result of the resistance of the transformer windings, that is the I 2 R loss produced by the flow of load current within the windings. Increasing the copper cross sectional area within a transformer winding has the effect of reducing the current density of the winding - this has the effect of reducing the I 2 R losses. The load loss of a transformer varies to the square of the load. i.e. at 50% load the actual load losses are 0.5 x 0.5 = 25% of the full load loss. Schneider Electric - B.U.

20 Loss Options of a Transformer Within the UK there has been no usable standards that stipulate the loss levels that should be achieved for various ratings of transformers. The level of losses are created by the manufacturers and can be very different for the same transformer rating. e.g. For Schneider Electric Leeds, we used to offer various levels of losses 1) Industrial Loss High Losses = Low First Cost = Increased Running Costs 2) Low Loss Low to Medium Losses = Medium First Cost = Reduced Running Costs 3) Extra Low Loss Low Losses = Increased First Cost = Further Reduced Running Costs The Introduction of the ECO Regulation now imposes Maximum Loss Levels / Peak Efficiency Index levels Schneider Electric - B.U.
