The Amorphous Alloy Transformer Industry Is Developing Rapidly

With the promotion of energy saving and consumption reduction in the power grid, as well as breakthroughs in the localization of amorphous alloy materials, the amorphous alloy transformer industry is expected to accelerate development.

1) Amorphous alloy transformer is a key equipment for energy saving and consumption reduction in distribution network. Transformer loss accounts for about 30%-60% of the distribution network loss, of which no-load loss accounts for about 50%-80% of the total transformer loss. The non-load loss of amorphous alloy transformer is about 80% lower than that of traditional silicon steel. The load ratio of many transformers in the distribution network, especially in the rural network, is less than 20%, so the use of amorphous alloy transformers has remarkable energy-saving effect, and is the preferred equipment for energy saving and consumption reduction in the distribution network.

2) In 2009, the amorphous transformer market size is about 1.7 billion yuan, and it is expected that the amorphous alloy transformer market capacity is about 160 billion yuan in the next 10 years, and the market space is huge. At present, non-crystalline transformers account for about 5% of new distribution transformers each year. It is expected that about 2.63 billion kVA of new distribution transformers will be added in the next decade, and if 30% of them use amorphous transformers, the capacity will reach 790 million KVA; As of 2009, China’s stock is about 3.13 billion KVA, if 15% of which are replaced by amorphous transformers in the future, the future capacity will reach 4.7KVA; In addition to amorphous transformers for wind power and photovoltaic, the market size of amorphous transformers is expected to be about 160 billion yuan in the next ten years, with a huge market size and broad prospects.

3) The domestic mass production of amorphous strip has been successful, the energy saving and emission reduction of power grid enterprises have been accelerated, and the amorphous transformer industry has witnessed explosive growth. Previously, the State Grid did not vigorously promote amorphous alloy transformers, but also took into account the lack of supply of upstream raw materials, and the industry monopoly profits were obtained by foreign enterprises. At present, Antai Technology has achieved success in the mass production of amorphous strips, with a production capacity of 40,000 tons, breaking the monopoly position of Hitachi Metal. With the release of capacity, it is expected that the cost of amorphous transformers will further decline. In addition, power grid enterprises are under great pressure to save energy and reduce emissions, power grid enterprises actively promote energy-saving transformers and replace high-energy transformers, and it is expected that the amorphous transformer industry will show explosive growth.
