When winter sets in, the grid shifts from routine operation to endurance mode. Demand climbs, equipment ages one season faster, and every component is expected to perform as if nothing has changed. It’s a rhythm utilities know all too well. During the deep freeze of February 2021, temperature rapidly fell,
Every substation, every hospital, every neighborhood powered by reliable electricity has something in common: at the center of the system lies a transformer core. So what separates a dependable transformer core from one that only looks the part? Just like a recipe that tastes the same every time you make
When a large power transformer (LPT) goes into service, it isn’t just another piece of equipment on the grid. It’s a multi-million-dollar asset expected to run around the clock for three or four decades. Entire cities, industrial plants, and regions depend on it. And yet, for all their scale and
When the first generative AI platforms stunned the world with what they could do, the reaction was a mixture of awe and curiosity. But a wave of realization soon followed: this technology would demand a lot of energy. Behind every chatbot conversation, image generator, or recommendation algorithm is a vast
Corefficient is proud to announce a major new chapter in our growth story: we’re officially entering the Large Power Transformer (LPT) market. What’s powering this move? The addition of a brand-new Georg TBA 1000 cutting line, a powerful new piece of equipment that allows us to serve transformer manufacturers with
We don’t usually think about how electricity reaches our homes, offices, or hospitals – until the lights flicker off. But behind nearly every powered moment in modern life is a system of transformers. And at the heart of each of those transformers is a component that rarely gets attention but
In the transformer industry, efficiency is everything. Every percentage point gained in performance translates into lower operating costs, longer equipment lifespan, and a reduced environmental footprint. One of the key factors affecting transformer efficiency is reducing core losses. Across industries, engineers work to combat this hidden inefficiency — wasted power
Renewable energy sources play an increasingly dominant role as the world seeks to reduce carbon emissions and transition away from fossil fuels. But here’s the challenge: today’s power grid wasn’t necessarily built for this transformation. Traditional power grids were designed for a centralized energy model, where large fossil-fuel plants generated
2024 was a pivotal year for renewable energy, with major progress in grid modernization and sustainable power systems. As the demand for clean energy accelerated, the technologies powering this transition took center stage. Energy-efficient transformers were no stranger to this progress, as they maintained their critical position in supporting renewable
Solar energy is one of the biggest key players in the renewable energy arena, providing a clean alternative to traditional fossil fuels. However, the true success of solar energy hinges on the systems that enable its generation, transformation, and distribution. This is where transformer cores and solar transformers come into
