Against the backdrop of a profound adjustment in the global energy landscape and a continuous rise in electricity demand, the transformer industry is undergoing a rapid intelligent transformation, and a new era of intelligent operation and maintenance is approaching.

The deep integration of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence with the traditional power industry has significantly accelerated the intelligent upgrade of transformers. The intelligent transformer is equipped with advanced sensors and an intelligent monitoring system, which can collect key operational data such as oil temperature, winding temperature, load current and partial discharge in real time. Through data analysis algorithms, they can accurately assess the health status of the equipment and provide fault warnings. Take the intelligent transformer of a well-known power equipment enterprise as an example. Through its built-in intelligent diagnostic module, potential faults can be predicted 7 to 10 days in advance, significantly reducing the risk of power outages and economic losses caused by sudden equipment failures.

Market research data indicates that the global smart transformer market is expected to grow strongly. It is expected to increase from 65 billion US dollars in 2025 to 90 billion US dollars in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.7%. In China, major power giants such as State Grid and China Southern Power Grid have prioritized the construction of smart grids, leading to an increase in the procurement demand for smart transformers and thus promoting the intelligent development of the industry.

Key enterprises take the lead actively. Leading domestic transformer enterprises such as TBEA and Xidian Electric are at the forefront of intelligent technology research and development. They constantly launch new products with market competitiveness, driving the entire industry forward.

This intelligent transformation not only enhances the reliability and efficiency of the power system, but also brings new development opportunities to the transformer industry. With the advancement of smart grid construction worldwide, the prospects for smart transformers will be even brighter.
