Hitachi Energy has announced a new product - CompactStar™, a new premium transformer designed to optimize Total Ownership Cost (TCO) for offshore platforms and urban substations. The compact and lightweight transformer is described as having more power with a smaller footprint, providing a solution for space-constrained areas.

Hitachi claims that CompactStar™ reduces overall footprint and weight of the transformer by up to 30%, which reduces the structural costs of the offshore platform, allowing for more efficient use of space. Despite its smaller size, CompactStar™ is said to provide high-capacity output, making it an ideal solution for meeting increasing renewable energy demands. 

The transformer uses Ester fluids for cooling optimization, which offers increased operational safety for people and the environment. With the new product, Hitachi Energy strives to combine global leadership and transformer expertise with innovative design and premium materials that have enhanced thermal performance, making it a smart investment for customers looking to reduce TCO and improve operational efficiency.
