Weidmann Webinar | Designing for DC: The Evolution of Transformer Lead Exits

In this webinar, we explore the unique challenges of insulation systems for HVDC applications. As meshed and HVDC grids increase and more electrical generation capacity comes from renewable energy sources, what does the grid of the future look like? The need to replace old electricity connections, upgrade and expand the grid, and ensure the security of supply is driving HVDC grid connection solutions. What are the design variables driving customization in modern HVDC transformers? We discuss: • Differences between AC and DC stress • Lead exit design philosophy • Material technologies • Emerging HVDC projects and requirements
