subject: Research Report Of 2009 China Transformer Industry [print this page] Transformers, rectifiers, and inductors are very important parts in power industry, which play an important role in the processes of power generation, transmission, distribution, power conversion and utilization, and also have a high place in national economy. China large-scale construction of UHV power grid and reconstruction of urban and rural power grid has promoted the rapid development of transformer, rectifier and inductor manufacturing industry. China has been the largest transformer producer in the world; the output reached 1.16 billion KVA in 2008, representing a year-on-year increase of 28%.
At present, there are more than 1,000 transformer manufacturers, which can be divided into four camps. The four major multinational companies, Swiss ABB, German Siemens, French Areva and Japanese Toshiba are the first camp in the industry, their 500kV EHV transformers hold more than half of domestic market share; Tebian Electric Apparatus, Xi'an XD and Tianwei Baobian are the second camp, they have policy advantage in the field of 500kV or more than 500kV EHV and UHV products; Jiangsu Huapeng, Qingdao Transformer, Shandong Dachi, Sunten Electric, China Electric Equipment Group, Qiantang River Electric, Sanbian Sci-Tech and other large and medium-sized enterprises are the third camp, they have stable market share and brand advantage in the less than 500kV transformer product segmentation market; in addition, a large number of small and medium-sized private enterprises has formed the fourth camp of China transformer industry.
In recent years, with the UHV power transmission project starting, China strongly support national transformer enterprises to innovate independently, three major domestic enterprises such as Tebian Electric Apparatus, Xi'an XD and Tianwei Baobian have made important breakthrough in the field of UHV transformers, transformers and reactors through improving the technology level and grade of products. In July 2008, the UHV AC transformers with 1 million kVA/1000kV that undertook by TBEA and Tianwei Baobian have passed all test items respectively in Shenyang and Baoding.
In the end of 2008, China introduced a 4 trillion Yuan stimulation plan of expanding domestic electrical prodcuts demand and promoting economic growth in order to withstand the negative impact caused by the world economic financial crisis, to improve rural tattoo machine kits power grids and speed up urban power grids construction were mentioned particularly. To accelerate the construction of UHV electrical prodcuts power grids and reconstruction of urban and rural power grids are important task in next few years. According to the plan, the investment in the solar water heater power grids field will be more than one trillion Yuan in next three years. During the next decade or so, the strategic keystone and main content of national electric prodcuts power grids development is to transmit the electricity from western areas to East China, supply electricity for each other between North and South China and solar panel network in the whole country. It brings a golden battery opportunity to the development of China transformer, rectifier, capacitor and inductor manufacturing industry.
