OE’s Transformer Resilience and Advanced Components (TRAC) program supports modernization and resiliency of the grid by addressing the challenges facing large power transformers (LPTs) and other critical grid components. As the grid evolves to enable a more resilient and clean energy future, research and development (R&D) and testing will be needed to understand the physical impact these changes have on LPTs and other equipment, and to encourage the adoption of new technologies and approaches.  Development of advanced components will provide the physical capabilities required in the future grid and help avoid infrastructure “lock-in” with outdated technologies that are long-lived and expensive. The Power Electronics fact sheet and GIGA Project summary below are available for downloading.
