Transformer and Reactor Procurement

這本《綠皮書》為參與變壓器採購的人提供了全面的指導，以避免做出錯誤的決策。變壓器是電力系統中昂貴的組件之一，也佔損耗的很大比例。許多情況下，變壓器的壽命超過40年。在採購過程中做出錯誤的決策可能會帶來嚴重且長期的後果。

​Study Committee A2 is responsible for all aspects of power transformers and reactors with CIGRE, throughout their life cycle from procurement to disposal. Study Committee A2 places a special emphasis on innovative solutions to problems facing both manufacturers and users. A power transformer is a non-mechanical apparatus used to change the voltage, but not the frequency, of an alternating current supply. Power transformers play an essential role in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity. A reactor is a non-mechanical apparatus of similar design and construction to a power transformer, used to control voltages or currents in parts of the electricity network.
