Industry Trends and Drivers:

  • Accelerated Demand from Electric Vehicle (EV) Traction Motors:

The main factor driving the growth of the NGOES market is the trend of global electrification of transport. The traction motors for electric vehicles (EVs) need magnetic materials to function at high rotational speeds and high frequencies with low core loss to improve the driving range and efficiency of EVs. This is creating a need for thin gauge high grade NGOES (thinner than 0.30 mm) which has higher permeability and lower eddy current losses. With major vehicle markets like China, the United States and the European Union planning to phase out production of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV) there is anticipated to be an exponential change in consumption of NGOES as electric cars, hybrid electric cars (HEV) and charging stations increase. The industrial demand on this scale has prompted steelmakers to invest in new specialized capacities for rolling, annealing and coating, technically aligned to the performance and volumes required by the automotive supply chain.

  • Stringent Global Energy Efficiency Regulations for Transformers:

A stable driver for the GOES market is the increasing stringency of mandatory and voluntary energy efficiency regulations and standards for power and distribution transformers worldwide. US DOE and other national and international regulators such as the European Commission periodically update MEPS for electrical transformers to reduce the loss of energy in the electricity grid. Since the transformer core is responsible for a large percentage of overall energy loss, much higher grade High-Permeability (Hi-B) GOES steel is used to increase transformer efficiency. Hi-B steel has an extremely aligned grain size structure that greatly reduces energy loss in the magnetic core of transformers. A continuous drive to increase efficiency, in combination with the global replacement of obsolete transmission and distribution infrastructure (often with "smart" transformers), ensures the continual demand for the highest GOES grades.

  • Proliferation of Renewable Energy and Distributed Generation:

Renewable power generation, especially variable renewable energy generation such as solar energy and wind energy, is driving a shift from large centralized fossil fuel power generating facilities to smaller distributed generating plants and thus increasing the requirement for specialty electrical steel in solar inverters, wind turbine generators, and small distribution transformers for microgrids and home use. Many of these decentralized applications require special steel grades, with modern inverters operating at the high frequency (higher than 1 kHz) requiring more thin NGOES to reduce losses, as well as the need for highly compact, high flux density steels, to fit into compact power electronics. Electrical steels are also used in renewable power electronics. They use amorphous metal and advanced ferrite cores for specialized inductors and low loss transformers. These applications are challenging because of distributed configurations, which cause the electrical steel market to deviate from customary grades and to focus on custom-engineered materials optimized for the load and frequency conditions typical of renewable energy systems.
