Abstract

The aim of the work is to compare performance and annual results losses of electrical energy lost by transformers superconducting and conventional. The efficiency has been calculated both  transformers installed in the power plant at changing load.  The example used superconducting transformer with 2G0 winding. Obtained the results show 80% less energy loss per year compared to transformers with copper windings.
