Ltd.10.26689/jera.v9i4.11465ArticleResearch on the Selection and Layout Scheme of Main Transformers in the Primary Electrical Design of New Energy Step-Up Stationshttps://artdesignp.com/journal/JERA/9/4/10.26689/jera.v9i4.11465LiaoYuekai2025942025-08-07This paper focuses on the research of the main transformer selection and layout scheme for new energy step-up substations. From the perspective of engineering design, it analyzes the principles of main transformer selection, key parameters, and their matching with the characteristics of new energy. It also explores the layout methods and optimization strategies. Combined with typical case studies, optimization suggestions are proposed for the design of main transformers in new energy step-up substations. The research shows that rational main transformer selection and scientific layout schemes can better adapt to the characteristics of new energy projects while effectively improving land use efficiency and economic viability. This study can provide technical experience support for the design of new energy projects.
