Substation Excellence: High-Safety & High-Efficiency Power Transformer Solutions
As the core nodes of power grids, substations impose extremely strict requirements on equipment reliability and safety. Rockwill provides professional oil‑immersed power transformers dedicated to substations, designed for power utilities and large industrial grids with superior thermal management, ultra‑low losses, and service life of over 30 years.
1. Meeting the Strict Demands of Modern Substation Grids
With grid load fluctuations and integration of distributed energy (PV, wind power), modern substation equipment must deliver:
- Superior thermal management: Maintain low temperature rise under continuous heavy load or extreme heat to prevent insulation aging.
- Ultra-low operating noise: Optimized structure to reduce magnetostrictive noise for urban and residential substations, complying with strict environmental standards.
- High insulation strength & EMC: Strong immunity to lightning impulse and switching overvoltage.
- Life-cycle economy: Significantly reduce no-load and load losses, meeting global energy-saving standards (EU Eco-design, top international efficiency levels).
Our grid‑grade transformers cover main voltage levels: 11kV, 22kV, 33kV/35kV up to 132kV, with customizable capacity from 2500kVA to 50MVA.
ONAN / ONAF Hybrid Cooling System
The transformer uses ONAN (Oil Natural Air Natural) as the basic cooling mode with high-performance radiators. For heavy‑load conditions, an automatically controlled ONAF (Oil Natural Air Forced) fan system is available. Integrated temperature sensors activate fans automatically at peak load, keeping temperature rise within IEC 60076-2 limits.
Hermetically Sealed Low-Loss Structure
- Core material: High-grade CRGO silicon steel with step-lap stacking to greatly reduce reluctance and no-load loss.
- Long‑life maintenance‑free: Fully sealed corrugated tank or conservator with bladder, completely isolating air and moisture to prevent oil oxidation, enabling oil‑free replacement throughout the service life.
For frequent grid voltage fluctuations, Rockwill provides OLTC solutions. With Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR), the transformer adjusts ratio in real time without power interruption, ensuring extremely stable output voltage for end users.
