ABB switchgear first choice for Ergon Energy

ABB開關柜成為Ergon Energy公司首選

2007-01-22 - Australian utility Ergon Energy, which operates one of the largest power distribution networks in the world, has made ABB its sole supplier of medium voltage switchgear. Product reliability, performance and safety were key.

2007-01-22 ——運營著世界上最大的配電網絡之一的澳大利亞Ergon Energy電廠選擇了ABB作為其中壓開關柜的獨家供應商。產品的可靠性、高性能以及安全性高是ABB被選中的關鍵。

Owned by the Queensland government, Ergon Energy distributes electricity to Australia’s second largest state – an area more than three times the size of France – that the utility describes as a “truly diverse landscape, ranging from the harshest, most demanding terrains to the most sensitive.”

由昆士蘭州政府擁有的Ergon Energy 電廠負責向澳大利亞的第二大州配送電力，該州面積是法國國土面積的三倍，因此這個電廠形容其為一個“真正多樣化的地形風貌，從最荒蕪最惡劣的到最易損的地形都有"。

“To meet these challenges we are constantly looking for world-class electricity distribution technologies,” says Ergon Energy. As part of this process, the company recently decided to choose a single supplier of medium voltage primary switchgear from among international and local suppliers. Ergon Energy chose ABB.

Ergon Energy電廠表示：”為了應付這些挑戰，我們一直在尋找世界級的電力配送技術。“作為這個進程的一部分，公司最近決定在國際和當地供應商之間選擇一家主要中壓開關柜的獨家供應商。Ergon Energy最后選擇了ABB。

Previously Ergon Energy had selected suppliers on a project by project basis, but the benefits and savings of contracting a single vendor and single switchgear platform were too compelling to ignore.

先前，Ergon Energy公司是根據一個項目選擇一家供應商，但與固定一家供應商簽訂合同以及相同的開關柜平臺所帶來的利益和節省也太明顯，讓人無法忽略。

ABB will supply Ergon Energy with UniGear ZS1 and ZS3.2 medium voltage switchgear for the utility’s 11 kV and 22 kV distribution systems and 33 kV sub-transmission system. UniGear excelled in Ergon’s requirements for performance, reliability and safety – key factors in a distribution system as large and climatically diverse as Queensland.

ABB將為Ergon Energy 電廠的11千伏和22千伏配電系統以及33千伏中壓輸電系統提供UniGear ZS1 以及 ZS3.2 中壓開關柜。UniGear完全滿足了Ergon的性能、可靠性、安全要求，這些都是象昆士蘭州這樣大而且氣候多樣性的配電系統的關鍵因素。

ABB manufactures UniGear switchgear in ten factories worldwide, including Australia. The UniGear platform is designed to meet the switchgear requirements of all markets and is uniquely certified for withstanding seismic stress and the extreme vibrations of marine applications.

ABB在全球的十個工廠生產UniGear 開關柜，包括在澳大利亞的工廠。UniGear平臺產品設計符合所有開關柜市場的要求，而且獨特地獲得了抵抗地震壓力和極端船舶震動應用的認證。

Ergon Energy has also selected ABB to be the company’s sole supplier of pad-mounted transformers. The utility requires an estimated 5,000 pole-mounted distribution transformers a year for its extensive distribution network, and is seeking to improve reliability and quality as well as reduce expenditure on one of its largest sources of equipment outlay.

Ergon Energy還選擇了ABB作為其襯墊安裝型變壓器的獨家供應商。每年，Ergon Energy電廠其廣闊的配電網絡需要預計5千個的電桿安裝型配電變壓器，而且正在致力于提高可靠性和質量，以及減少占設備費用最大之一的花費。
