Transformers: the hidden workhorses of Net Zero with Ayah Alfawaris, Wilson Power Systems
About this episode
Ayah Alfawaris discusses the critical role of transformers in achieving Net Zero and their impact on energy efficiency.
If we didn't have transformers on our electricity grid to step up and step down voltages then we would get nothing out of it; everything would be lost in transmission. Those dull grey boxes are essential to modern life and critical to Net Zero as they enable renewable energy generation, electric vehicle charging and battery storage systems. On the other hand ageing transformers are 'silent energy guzzlers'; across Europe they lose 3 times the electricity consumption of Denmark. In this fascinating episode of the pod, Ayah Alfawaris, Marketing and Sustainability Director of Wilson Power Systems explains all.
