ABB wins $25 million power order in Kenya 

ABB在肯尼亞贏得兩千五百萬美元電力合同

New SCADA control system will improve power quality and reliability

新SCADA控制系統(tǒng)將改善電力質(zhì)量和可靠性

Zurich, Switzerland, August 30, 2007 – ABB signed a $25 million contract with Kenya Power & Lighting Co (KPLC) to upgrade and expand the system that controls Kenya's power transmission network and the distribution network in the capital city of Nairobi.

瑞士蘇黎世8月30日消息——ABB與肯尼亞電力和照明公司(KPLC)簽署了一份價值兩千五百萬美元的合同，升級和擴(kuò)建后者在首都城市內(nèi)羅畢控制著肯尼亞的輸電網(wǎng)絡(luò)和配電網(wǎng)絡(luò)系統(tǒng)。

ABB supplied the original SCADA/EMS System (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition/Energy Management System) 20 years ago and has also been the major supplier of utility communication equipment to KPLC over the last 30 years.

ABB在二十年前就提供了原始的SCADA/EMS 系統(tǒng)（監(jiān)控和數(shù)據(jù)采集/電力管理系統(tǒng)），而且在過去的30年里也一直是肯尼亞電力和照明公司電力通信設(shè)備的主要供應(yīng)商。

"We are very pleased to be able to continue to work with KPLC on improving the quality, reliability and security of the electricity supply in Kenya," said Peter Leupp, head of ABB's Power System division.

ABB電力系統(tǒng)部主管Peter Leupp表示：“我們很高興可以一如既往地和肯尼亞電力和照明公司合作，改善肯尼亞電力供應(yīng)的質(zhì)量、可靠性以及安全性。”

The control system will comprise five control centers, in Nairobi and around the country, equipped with redundant computer systems and ABB Network Manager SCADA/EMS software for the operation, control, analysis and enhancement of the electrical network, and for power generation management. To enable the reliable operation of the control system, the centers will be linked to more than 90 substations and power stations by over 1300 km of OPGW (Optical Ground Wire), ABB FOX 515 multiplexers, ABB ETL 600 Digital Power Line Carrier (DPLC) and radio communications.

該控制系統(tǒng)將在內(nèi)羅畢和全國各地包括五個控制中心，為電力網(wǎng)的運(yùn)作、控制、分析和改善以及發(fā)電的管理配備有冗余計(jì)算機(jī)系統(tǒng)以及ABB網(wǎng)絡(luò)管理器SCADA/EMS軟件。為確?？刂葡到y(tǒng)的可靠運(yùn)行，這些中心將通過1300多千米的光纖復(fù)合地線、ABB FOX515多路器、ABB ETL 600 數(shù)字電力線載波機(jī)( DPLC )及無線電通訊，鏈接到90多個變電站和發(fā)電站。

Maintaining power delivery as load increases in the morning, keeping it within security limits during daily peaks, and managing load decreases at night are just some of the tasks the control system will perform. During unplanned disturbances, preparedness is vital in order to avoid large-scale outages, make rapid analysis and re-establish power supply.

控制系統(tǒng)將負(fù)責(zé)的一些任務(wù)就是在上午負(fù)荷增加的時候維持電力輸送，在每日高峰時保持在安全限度內(nèi)，以及管理晚上負(fù)荷的降低。在計(jì)劃外干擾的時候，做好避免大規(guī)模停電的準(zhǔn)備非常重要，可以快速分析，并重新確立電力供應(yīng)。

Over the past 40 years, ABB has been selected for many of the world's most challenging energy management projects, delivering hundreds of installations.

過去40年間，ABB已經(jīng)被許多世界上最有挑戰(zhàn)性的電力管理項(xiàng)目選中，交付了數(shù)以百計(jì)的安裝項(xiàng)目。

ABB 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 111,000 people.

ABB是電力和自動化技術(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多個國家，擁有大約111,000名雇員。
