ABB launchesworld’s first digital distribution transformer

ABB AbilityTM based intelligent transformers tofacilitate better asset management while enhancing reliability and optimizingcosts

ABB today announced the launch of the world’s firstdigital distribution transformer at its ABB Customer World event in Houston,Texas. Integrated sensing and monitoring technology in ABB’s new TXpert™transformer will provide intelligence to maximize reliability, optimize operatingand maintenance costs and manage the asset more efficiently. This latestinnovation builds on the ABB Ability™ digital offering that uses cloudcomputing and connected devices to generate actionable data for a broad rangeof customers.

The performance data collected from the sensors isstored and analyzed within the transformer, offering insights on how it isoperating. This will provide utilities, industries and installations like datacenters with vital information to make key decisions on the operation andmaintenance of their transformers and support the management of the assetthroughout its lifecycle. This includes activities like scheduling ofmaintenance, optimizing system performance and planned asset replacement.

Power grids are undergoing an unprecedentedtransformation both on the supply and demand side. Many new and distributedsources of energy including the influx of renewables and new demand loads likedatacenters and electric vehicles, call for a more flexible grid, driving theneed for greater digitalization and automation. Intelligent products that cancommunicate are an essential component in the convergence of information andoperational technologies.

“Distribution transformers are vitalcomponents in the electrical value chain. This latest innovation extends ourdigital portfolio and ABB Ability based offering, and reinforces our positon asthe world’s leading transformer manufacturer” said Claudio Facchin, Presidentof ABB’s Power Grids Division. ”It also reiterates our Next Level strategicfocus on enabling a stronger, smarter and greener grid.”

TXpert™ is part of ABB’s Transformer Intelligence™portfolio that includes state-of-the-art sensors, monitoring platforms andsoftware tools built upon ABB’s deep domain knowledge and expertise. It will bea catalyst for enhancing distribution transformer performance, improvingpredictability and increasing reliability.
