## High-Efficiency Eco-Design Power Transformers and Compact GIS

The upgrade replaced legacy oil-filled units with two 40 MVA and two 60 MVA high-efficiency power transformers compliant with EU Ecodesign Tier 2 standards, reducing no-load losses by 22% and noise emissions to under 55 dB(A).

The primary switchyard transitioned from aging open-air bays to compact SF6-reduced gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), shrinking the physical substation footprint by 60% while dramatically lowering arc-flash risk.

## Powering Urban Heat Pumps and High-Power EV Hubs

The additional 40 MVA of firm transformation capacity directly supports Bucharest’s municipal transition from gas heating to district heat pumps and accommodates new ultra-fast 350 kW EV charging plazas along southern transit corridors.

Advanced digital substation automation with IEC 61850 process bus communication enables self-healing network restoration within 45 seconds of a medium-voltage feeder outage.
