The term "digital transformer" emphasizes the data and communication capabilities. The digital transformer market includes solid state transformers, but also traditional transformers retrofitted with sensors and communication. However, SSTs are the fully digital solution. A digital transformer can be part of a "digital twin" – a virtual replica that simulates its performance. The digital transformer market for "digital twin" allows operators to test "what-if" scenarios without affecting the real grid. The digital transformer market for "IIoT" (Industrial Internet of Things) connects the transformer to a central monitoring system.
The broader solid state transformer market is the core. The digital transformer market for "substation" automation is a key application. The digital transformer market for "SCADA" (supervisory control and data acquisition) integration is standard. The digital transformer market for "time-synchronized" measurements (using GPS) allows comparison of data across different locations.
The digital transformer market for "data" storage and analysis requires cloud or on-premise servers. The digital transformer market for "machine learning" algorithms can predict remaining useful life. The digital transformer market for "dashboard" visualization provides an intuitive interface for operators.
The digital transformer market for "firmware" updates (over the air) can add new features or fix bugs. The digital transformer market for "cybersecurity" (as discussed) is essential.
The digital transformer market for "interoperability" with other grid devices (relays, reclosers) is critical for coordinated protection.
Looking ahead, the digital transformer market will see the use of "AI" for autonomous control. The digital transformer market for "federated learning" (training models across multiple devices without sharing raw data) will improve privacy. The digital transformer market for "edge AI" (processing on the transformer) will reduce data transmission.
