On September 23, 2022, the White Paper on Green Transformer Technology and Application, sponsored by the International Copper Association and Shanghai Electrical Engineering Design and Research Association, and organized by Transformer Circle, and the media training meeting were held in Beijing. Representatives from the International Economic and Technical Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Machinery Industry Technology Development Foundation (Machinery Industry Energy Conservation and Resource Utilization Center), the International Copper Association, Shanghai Electrical Engineering Design and Research Association and other relevant leaders, green transformer manufacturers, and the media attended the meeting.
The carbon emissions of China's power industry account for more than 40% of the energy industry, and transmission and distribution loss is one of the important sources of carbon emissions. According to statistics, the power transmission and distribution loss in China accounts for about 6% of the national power generation, and the distribution transformer operation loss accounts for more than 40% of the power transmission and distribution loss. Decarbonization in the power industry is the top priority, and green transformers will become one of the key electrical equipment for energy efficiency and emission reduction in the process of achieving the goal of "double carbon". How to realize the green development of transformer manufacturing industry has become an urgent issue facing the whole industry.
China's authoritative view is that to achieve the "dual carbon" goal, we must adhere to the "one game for the whole country" principle, which requires both enterprises to establish a "carbon ledger" and the mobilization of broad participation and active action from all sectors of society to gather a huge force to achieve the "dual carbon" goal.
In view of this, under the guidance of the Machinery Industry Technology Development Foundation (Machinery Industry Energy Conservation and Resource Utilization Center), the preparation, review Publishing the White Paper on Green Transformer Technology and Application.
At the meeting, the leaders at the meeting said in their speech that under the current pressure of carbon emission reduction, the green and low-carbon transformation of the manufacturing industry has become an irreversible mainstream trend. Under the new situation that the "double carbon" goal forces reform and green technology dominates the power distribution in the future, the low carbon transformation of electric power will play a crucial role in achieving the "double carbon" goal. The "double carbon" goal will bring multiple effects of environmental quality improvement and industrial development on China's green and low-carbon development, and will accelerate China's energy transformation and energy revolution. The representatives at the meeting believed that the preparation and issuance of the White Paper on Green Transformer Technology and Application was a beneficial exploration and work result of the industry experts and members of the editorial board of this white paper to implement the "dual carbon" strategy and reflect social awareness and responsibility, which would be conducive to promoting the green transformation of the transformer industry, accelerating the formation of a green production mode, and boosting the high-quality development of the industry.
As the initiator and organizer of this white paper, Manager Zhang Lingyu of the International Copper Association introduced the purpose and significance of this white paper. The background of the white paper on green transformers, the definition of green transformers, the application of green transformers in the industry, and the industrial policy of green transformers are introduced in detail. The report explains why transformer products need green transformation from four aspects: product attribute, energy attribute, resource attribute, and environmental attribute. It describes the technical methods that can be adopted to achieve high efficiency, energy conservation, scientific material conservation, low-carbon environmental protection, safety and reliability, and high recyclability in the whole life cycle. It also looks forward to the huge development potential of green transformers for implementing the overall strategy of national low-carbon and circular economy.
Zhang Lingyu believes that at present, the transformer manufacturing industry has shown a good development trend. Breakthroughs have been made in such links as green design, green manufacturing, green materials, green transformer products and their recycling. However, many transformer users still only understand the advanced concept of green transformers as lower no-load loss, The potential impact on people and environment in the whole life cycle of the transformer has not been reflected in the technical selection and scheme design. Therefore, vigorously promoting the understanding of green transformers and forming a wide range of typical design applications has become the top priority.
In view of the green development opportunities faced by the transformer industry, experts in the industry were specially invited to form an editorial board for the preparation of this white paper. In the spirit of being responsible for the industry, enterprises and users, under the guidance and support of relevant leaders, and with the hard work of experts in the industry, the members of the editorial board of this white paper have been discussing, planning, writing, reviewing, making several drafts, overcoming various difficulties, and have been released successfully.
At the meeting, Liu Changying, senior engineer of Haihong Electric Co., Ltd., Li Songjiang, marketing director of Wuhan Zedian New Materials Co., Ltd., Wu Ji'an, senior engineer of Sirui Green Electric (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., and other experts introduced the advantages, application fields and market demands of open type solid core transformers, natural ester (vegetable insulating oil) oil immersed transformers, silicone rubber dry-type transformers and other products.
Luo Hong, an expert of the legal think tank of the China Federation of Industrial Economics, put forward an initiative to jointly promote green transformers in his concluding remarks. He said that the green transformer not only improves the safety and reliability of the product, but also is low-carbon and environmentally friendly. From the perspective of technology and products, it has reached the stage of large-scale application, but it still needs a process to be accepted by the majority of users. For this reason, he appealed to unite relevant associations, industries, enterprises and other organizations, gather strength and advantages from all aspects, and jointly promote green power distribution products such as green transformers, so as to let users eliminate their doubts about new products as soon as possible, guide users to actively choose green transformers and form a broad consensus in society.
Industry insiders believe that China's new power system has brought new opportunities and challenges to the transformer industry. Traditional transformers can no longer meet the requirements of the new power system. The development of green transformers will help China's transformer manufacturing industry to continuously improve the level of green manufacturing, energy efficiency and circular economy, becoming a historic opportunity for the transformer industry to develop towards high-end manufacturing.
The meeting held that the release of the White Paper on Green Transformer Technology and Application was beneficial to the country, the people and the development of the industry, injected strong positive energy for the whole society to participate in achieving the goal of "double carbon", and created a good development environment and atmosphere for the green development of the transformer industry. At present, China's low-carbon development and green development are the trend of the times. The majority of transformer enterprises and users need to grasp the "opportunity" in the "danger" and constantly win challenges, so that they can move forward steadily, move forward steadily, and make progress
