An electrical power transformer in energy systems is defined by its role in converting voltage levels for efficient generation, transmission, and consumption. It must satisfy system requirements for insulation coordination, fault withstand, frequency, and grid codes. Its performance affects losses, voltage regulation, and stability. In modern grids, transformers often incorporate online monitoring and integration with protection and SCADA systems, making them critical assets for reliability and power quality across the entire network.
