Heat Energy Recovery and Reuse for Electric Power Grid Optimization

Trexco
  • Technology Description

    Trexco’s proprietary technology enables the cooling of large power transformers to a set constant temperature by employing waste and other inexpensive heat energy to drive cooling equipment. This results in the first economic controlled cooling of transformers, the main benefit of which is additional transformer loading capacity.

    Trexco, LLC is an engineering- and technology-driven company whose mission is the development of advanced, low-cost solutions to energy storage problems for the utility industry.

    Trexco's first product, the Transformer Extender, addresses the problem of transformer overheating on the US electric power infrastructure. The company's proprietary technology – which enables transformers to operate at a cool and constant temperature, even in difficult load and ambient conditions – has been tested and proven in a commercial-scale model on a stand-alone basis. Commercial marketing of the Transformer Extender will commence after the conclusion of an industry demonstration of the technology alongside a transformer, conducted under the auspices of the independent National Electric Energy Testing and Research Applications Center (NEETRAC).

    Trexco is based in Indianapolis, Indiana, with additional presence in Pennsylvania, Texas, and Illinois. Please contact us at the coordinates provided below to learn more about Trexco and the Transformer Extender.
