Webinar: From bias to balance - guide to DC compensation

Learn how to detect DC bias early and apply effective compensation strategies to protect transformers, improve grid stability, and avoid costly interventions.

Can your grid recognize DC bias before it becomes a problem?

As AC grids face increasing DC influences from renewables, converters, and modern power electronics, DC bias is placing new and often unexpected demands on transformer fleets. This webinar focuses on how grid operators and asset managers can identify DC bias early, understand its operational impact, and apply practical compensation strategies that support transformer performance and grid stability.

What You’ll Discover

• How DC bias develops in real networks and how it affects loading behavior, noise levels, and longterm transformer health

• Which operational indicators reveal DC bias early, enabling faster diagnostics and better-informed maintenance decisions

• Which approaches strengthen transformer resilience as renewable integration and power electronics continue to expand across increasingly complex grids

• How modern DC compensation works in practice - how to bring back no-load losses and noise to the guaranteed values, protect assets, and avoid costly interventions or replacements
