- Europe’s transition to clean energy is driving growth in the distribution transformer market. The growth is fueled by integrating renewable energy sources like solar and wind and the expanding infrastructure for electric vehicle charging.
- Distribution transformers are pivotal in facilitating the smooth incorporation of renewables into the grid, ensuring stable power distribution, enhancing voltage regulation, and balancing loads, thereby supporting the transition towards sustainable energy.
- This infographic will explore the pivotal role of distribution transformers in Europe’s renewable energy transition and the growing demand driven by decarbonization efforts and power grid infrastructure investments.

Role of Distribution Transformers
01
Voltage Regulation
VRDTs regulate LV/MV voltage, boosting distributed generation capacity like rooftop solar without network upgrades.
02
Power Quality Improvement
Solid-state transformers address power quality issues caused by renewables, mitigating voltage fluctuations and harmonic distortions without additional compensating devices.
03
Load Balancing
Distribution transformers balance electrical loads across the system, ensuring even power distribution and preventing overloads during renewable energy fluctuations.
