ABB wins contracts worth $33 million to supply Dutch wind project

ABB在荷蘭贏得價值3,300萬美元風力發電項目合同

Farm to power 140,000 homes, cut annual CO2 emissions by 255,000 tons

風力發電場可以為140,000個家庭供電，每年可以減少255,000噸二氧化碳的排放量

Zurich, Switzerland, July 12, 2006 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, said today it has won contracts worth a total of $33 million to provide power equipment and cable connections for the Dutch offshore wind farm, Q7.

瑞士蘇黎世7月12日消息——領先的電力和自動化技術集團ABB公司今天表示贏得了總值3,300萬美元的合同，為荷蘭海上風力發電場Q7提供電力設備和電纜連接。

　　　　　　　　　　

“ABB leads the world in supplying renewable energy projects like this one with reliable products and systems,” said Samir Brikho, head of ABB’s Power Systems division. “Our strong local presence in the Netherlands, technical strength and broad experience in this market will help bring Q7 to life.”

ABB電力系統部主管Samir Brikho表示：“ABB引領著為諸如此項目的可再生能源項目提供可靠的產品和系統。我們在荷蘭強大的本地化、技術實力以及在這個領域豐富的經驗將幫助Q7帶來強大的生命力。”

ABB will supply 24 kV (kilovolt) underwater power cables connecting 60 wind turbines to a 150 kV offshore transformer station, plus a 170 kV underwater power cable linking the offshore transformer station to the grid onshore.

ABB將提供24KV（千伏）的水下電纜，連接60個風力渦輪到一個150KV的海上變壓器站，以及一條連接該海上變壓器站和陸地電網的170KV的水下電纜。

ABB will also supply and install primary equipment in the offshore transformer station, including a 140 MVA (megavolt ampere) transformer, a 150 kV gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), and a 24 kV GIS.

ABB還將提供和安裝該海上變壓器站的首期設備，包括一個140MVA（兆伏安）的變壓器，一個150KV的氣體絕緣開關柜（GIS），以及一個24KV的氣體絕緣開關柜。

Q7 will be the largest wind farm in the Dutch North Sea when it commences operation in 2007, about 30 kilometers from Amsterdam. Each turbine will generate about two MW (megawatts) of power, totaling about 435 gigawatt/hours per year - enough to power roughly 140,000 homes, and reduce CO2 emissions by 255,000 tons annually.

當Q7在2007年開始運營時，將成為離阿姆斯特丹約30公里的荷蘭北海最大的風力發電場。每個風力渦輪將產生大約2兆瓦特的電力，每年發電總量約達4,350億瓦特/小時，足夠供應大約140,000個家庭，以及每年可以減少255,000噸二氧化碳的排放量。

The contract includes a study to help ensure the project complies with Dutch grid codes. The Dutch government is aiming for offshore wind power production of 6,000 megawatts (MW) by 2020.

合同包括了一份幫助保障該項目遵守荷蘭電網代碼的研究。荷蘭政府計劃到2020年海上風力發電量達6,000兆瓦特。

Europe’s installed wind power capacity of 40,500 MW is 69 percent of world’s total generated wind power. Wind power capacity in Europe grew by 18 percent in 2005, and provides nearly 3 percent of the EU’s electricity consumption in an average wind year.

歐洲安裝的40,500MW風力發電量占全球風力發電總量的69% 。歐洲的風力發電量在2005年增長了18%，在一個平均風量年里，提供了歐洲電力消費總量的近3% 。

New installed capacity in Europe during 2005 was led by Germany (1,808 MW), Spain (1,764 MW) and Portugal (500 MW). Wind energy is expected to supply more than one fifth of Europe’s power needs by 2030.

2005年歐洲新安裝容量最大的國家分別為德國（1,808 MW)、西班牙(1,764 MW)以及葡萄牙(500 MW)。風力發電量預計到2030年供應著超過五分之一的歐洲電力需求量。
