ABB成為首家獲得變電站自動化新標準認證資格的制造商

Swiss lab recognized as test facility for global IEC 61850 standard

瑞士實驗室被授予全球IEC 61850標準的測試認證機構

Zurich, Switzerland, July 26, 2006 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology company, said today that it has been recognized as a qualified test center to certify products as compliant with the new global standard for communication in substation automation, IEC 61850.

瑞士蘇黎世7月26日消息——領先的電力和自動化技術集團ABB今天表示被授予了作為一個資格測試中心，測試證明產品是否符合變電站自動化通訊全球新標準IEC 61850 。

ABB is the first manufacturer to achieve official Conformance Test Center status as determined by the UCA International Users Group, an organization of utilities, vendors and users of communications for utility automation.

ABB是首家獲得官方兼容測試中心身份的制造商，由工廠自動化通訊的工廠、供應商和用戶組成的機構UCA國際用戶集團授權確認。

The certification authorizes ABB's System Verification and Validation Center in Baden, Switzerland, to perform IEC 61850 Conformance Testing in accordance with the group's Quality Assurance Testing Program Procedures.

該證明授權ABB位于瑞士Baden的系統檢驗和確認中心，根據集團的質量保證測試計劃程序，執行IEC 61850兼容測試。

“We’re very proud to be the first equipment manufacturer and system integrator to earn this important qualification,” says Samir Brikho, head of ABB’s Power Systems division. “Such recognition reaffirms both our position as a market leader and our commitment to standards like IEC 61850 that will move our industry forward.”

ABB電力系統部主管Samir Brikho表示：“我們非常自豪成為首家獲得這個重要資格的設備制造商和系統集成商。這樣的認可再次肯定我們的市場領導者地位和我們對例如IEC 61850等標準所承擔的義務將促進行業的向前發展。”

The IEC 61850 standard makes it easier for various substation automation devices such as protection relays and bay controllers, as well as their engineering tools, to exchange data among each other. Recognition as a test center for products seeking compliance certification depends on meeting the strict procedures, guidelines and requirements laid down by UCA.

IEC 61850標準使得保護繼電器和彎狀控制等各種變電站自動化設備，以及他們的工程工具之間可以更輕易地相互交換數據。作為一個尋求兼容證明產品的測試中心認證必須符合UCA制定的嚴格程序、指導方針和要求。

“Having a recognized test center enables us to give customers the assurance that our products are of high quality,” adds Brikho. “This will become more important as the IEC 61850 standard is applied even more widely and the demand for compliant products increases.”

Brikho補充道：“擁有一個認證中心使我們可以向客戶保證我們產品的高質量。隨著IEC 61850標準的應用更廣，以及對兼容產品需求的增加，這將變得更加重要。”
