“ABB’s cutting-edge HVDC technology creates a vital link to ensure the grids of Sardinia and the Italian mainland are supplied with reliable electrical power as needed,” said Samir Brikho, head of ABB's Power Systems division. “The system also contributes to the necessary upgrade of an expanded Europe’s transmission infrastructure by creating another interconnection to facilitate the exchange of electrical power.”

ABB電力系統(tǒng)部主管Samir Brikho表示：“ABB尖端的HVDC技術(shù)創(chuàng)造了一條重要鏈接，保障了撒丁島和意大利大陸供應(yīng)所需的可靠電力的電網(wǎng)。同時(shí)，該系統(tǒng)通過建設(shè)這個(gè)互連，是這個(gè)日益擴(kuò)大的歐洲傳輸基礎(chǔ)構(gòu)造的必要升級，推動(dòng)了電力的交流輸送。”

The contract calls for ABB to design and deliver two converter stations, one in Fiume Santo, Sardinia, and the other in Latina, on the Italian mainland – both in existing 400 kilovolt (kV) substations. The stations include converter transformers as well as air-insulated and gas-insulated switchgear. ABB will produce the equipment at its factories in Sweden, Switzerland and Italy.

該合同要求ABB設(shè)計(jì)和交付兩座轉(zhuǎn)換站，一座位于撒丁島的Fiume Santo，另一座位于意大利大陸的拉蒂納市，兩座皆在現(xiàn)有的400千伏變電站上。轉(zhuǎn)換站包括轉(zhuǎn)換變壓器以及空氣絕緣和氣體絕緣開關(guān)。ABB將有其在瑞典、瑞士和意大利的工廠生產(chǎn)這些設(shè)備。

The distance between the two converter stations is 420 kilometers. Power cables will be laid beneath the Tyrrhenian Sea at depths of up to 1,600 meters.

兩座轉(zhuǎn)換站之間的距離是420公里。電線將鋪設(shè)在伊特魯里亞海深達(dá)1,600米的地方。

In addition to handling the power exchange, this sophisticated HVDC system can stabilize voltages and frequencies on Sardinia. It will be a bipolar HVDC system using two cables. The first pole will be completed in 2008.

除了處理電力轉(zhuǎn)換交流，該復(fù)雜的HVDC系統(tǒng)還可以穩(wěn)定撒丁島的電壓和頻率。它是一個(gè)使用雙線的雙電極HVDC系統(tǒng)。第一個(gè)電極將在2008年完成。

This will be the third HVDC project delivered by ABB to Italy. The most recent interconnection between Italy and Greece was completed in 2001.

這將是ABB在意大利完成的第三個(gè)HVDC項(xiàng)目。最近一個(gè)是在2001年完成的意大利和希臘間的互連項(xiàng)目。

In late 2004, ABB began work on the world’s longest undersea power interconnection – the 580-kilometer-long NorNed link – that joins power grids in the Netherlands and Norway. In 2005, ABB began work on Estlink, a 100-kilometer undersea and underground interconnection, joining power grids in Finland and Estonia.

2004年末，ABB開始參與世界上最長的海底電力互連路線工程——連接荷蘭和挪威電力網(wǎng)的長達(dá)580公里的NorNed 路線。2005年，ABB開始參與Estlink項(xiàng)目，一個(gè)連接法國和愛沙尼亞電力網(wǎng)的100公里長的海底和地下電纜工程。

ABB pioneered HVDC technology more than 50 years ago when the company built the world’s first commercial high-voltage direct current transmission link in Sweden. ABB remains the world leader in HVDC transmission technology, with 55 HVDC projects improving the transmission capacity of utilities around the world by more than 45,000 MW.

ABB是HVDC技術(shù)的先驅(qū)，50多年前就在瑞典建造了世界上第一條商業(yè)高壓直流傳輸線。ABB仍然是HVDC傳輸技術(shù)的全球領(lǐng)先者，在全球范圍內(nèi)安裝了55個(gè)HVDC項(xiàng)目，總?cè)萘砍^45,000 兆瓦特，提高了傳輸能力。

ABB (www.abb.com) is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 105,000 people.

ABB集團(tuán)是電力和自動(dòng)化技術(shù)領(lǐng)域的全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)廠商，致力于為工業(yè)和電力行業(yè)客戶提供解決方案，以幫助客戶提高生產(chǎn)效率，同時(shí)降低對環(huán)境的不良影響。ABB集團(tuán)的業(yè)務(wù)遍布全球100多個(gè)國家，擁有大約105,000名雇員。
