2025 Transformer Design and Manufacturing Technology Development Forum
"2025 Transformer Design and Manufacturing Technology Development Forum" will be held on June 12, 2025, at the conference venue in N3 Hall of Shanghai New International Expo Centre. This forum focuses on two core themes: high-efficiency transformer technology iteration and standard upgrades, aiming to inject new momentum into the technological innovation and standardized development of the transformer industry.
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of global energy efficiency and environmental protection requirements, the transformer industry has faced unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Against the backdrop of high efficiency and low loss, market attention to energy utilization efficiency has intensified. As a critical component in power transmission and distribution, transformers urgently require technological advancements. Simultaneously, the continuous updates to industry standards compel enterprises to keep pace with market demands and policy requirements.
The forum will gather experts and leaders from renowned universities, research institutes, and enterprises to delve into hot topics within the transformer industry. Discussions will cover China’s energy strategy, the development trends of electrical equipment in digital and smart grids within new power systems, reliability enhancement and energy efficiency optimization of transformers, carbon footprint analysis, applications and future demands in renewable energy fields, as well as the progress and trends in developing green, environmentally friendly natural ester insulating oil transformers. These insights will provide robust support for the high-quality development of transformer enterprises.
The transformer industry chain involves upstream raw materials such as steel, grain-oriented silicon steel, non-ferrous metals, electromagnetic wire, insulating materials, transformer oil, and impregnation materials. The midstream encompasses various transformer types, including power transformers, instrument transformers, testing transformers, and special transformers. Downstream applications span power grids, rail transit, wind power generation, photovoltaic power generation, electric vehicle charging stations, industrial manufacturing, and urban infrastructure. With the rapid growth of China’s renewable energy generation capacity, substantial investments in power infrastructure, a high number of ultra-high voltage (UHV) projects under construction, increased investments in energy-saving retrofits for in-service transformers, and the rising penetration of new energy vehicles, the demand for transformers across power generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption sectors continues to surge. Notably, the explosive growth of AI computing power has spurred large-scale data center cluster construction, where high-density power consumption scenarios impose new requirements on transformer cooling efficiency, energy efficiency levels, and intelligent operation and maintenance capabilities. This drives accelerated R&D in liquid-cooled transformers, high-frequency equipment, and digital twin-based intelligent monitoring systems.
In terms of technological trends, transformers will increasingly pursue higher efficiency and lower energy consumption through advanced core materials, optimized coil design, and improved manufacturing processes. For applications with strict space and weight constraints, such as aerospace and electric vehicles, transformers must achieve high power density, delivering stronger power output in compact designs via high-frequency technologies and integrated solutions. Furthermore, as industries accelerate intelligent and digital transformation, future transformers will integrate sensors and intelligent monitoring modules to enable real-time operational status tracking. These transformers will serve as intelligent nodes in power grids, facilitating information exchange and coordinated operations with other electrical equipment.
The "2025 Transformer Design and Manufacturing Technology Development Forum" will provide industry professionals with a high-quality platform for communication and collaboration. It aims to drive solid progress in technological innovation and standardization, enhance the global competitiveness of China’s transformer industry, and contribute to the advancement of the nation’s power sector.
