Key Applications of Transformers in the Netherlands
Transformers play multiple roles within the Dutch energy ecosystem. Here are a few critical areas:
- Ports: The Port of Rotterdam and the Port of Amsterdam, as Europe’s largest ports, have a massive demand for stable and efficient power. Transformers are extensively used in container terminals, cranes, cold chain logistics, shore power for vessels, and internal distribution systems. These applications require transformers with high overload capacity, moisture resistance, and salt spray protection.
- Solar Power Plants: The Netherlands has a large number of ground-mounted solar farms and rooftop distributed solar systems. Solar transformers are responsible for stepping up the low-voltage AC power generated by inverters to a higher voltage for grid connection. Common compact substations have capacities ranging from 1 MVA to 5 MVA, with typical voltage ratings of 10 kV or 20 kV.
- Wind Energy: The Netherlands is a leader in the offshore wind sector. Transformers used in wind farms, whether installed inside the wind turbine itself or in offshore substations, must possess exceptional weather resistance, seismic stability, and reliability to withstand harsh marine environments. These transformers have voltage levels ranging from 33 kV a 66 kV and capacities from 1.5 MVA to 10 MVA.
- Industrial and Urban Distribution: Transformers are used in factories, business parks, residential areas, and data centers to step down high-voltage power to lower voltages suitable for end-users. For example, dry-type transformers are popular in industrial plants due to their safety and ease of maintenance, with common rated capacities from 315 kVA to 5000 kVA and rated voltages of 10kV/0.4kV.
