ABB為云南鋁業公司提供System 800xA系統

Beijing, China, February 19, 2008 - ABB will provide a complete set of electrical equipment for a cold rolling mill project at Yunnan Aluminum Co., Ltd (Yunnan Aluminum). As part of a joint project with SMS DEMAG Co., ABB will provide an advanced automation solution based on System 800xA to help expand operations and increase Yunnan Aluminum’s processing capacity by 80 percent.

北京2月19日消息——ABB將為云南鋁業有限公司（云南鋁業）的一個冷連軋機項目提供一整套的電氣設備。作為與SMS DEMAG公司聯合項目的一部分，ABB將提供一套基于System 800xA系統的高端自動化解決方案，幫助云南鋁業擴大運營，增加80%的處理能力。

Yunnan Aluminum is the largest electricity consumer on the Yunnan Power Grid. In recent years it has invested around RMB3.7 billion Yuan ($514 million) in energy-saving initiatives to bring its consumption down to 13,600 kilowatt hours (kWh) per ton aluminum—more than 1,000 kWh per ton, or seven percent less than the national average for aluminum processing. The company recently installed the world’s most advanced continuous casting and rolling technology for aluminum processing, which uses SMS DEMAG Co. and ABB technologies, to achieve energy savings of 26 percent.

云南鋁業是云南電網最大的用電戶。最近幾年，其在能源節約措施方面投資了大約3.7億人民幣（5140萬美元），使其每噸鋁的耗電量降低到1萬3千6百千瓦時，每噸降低了一千多千瓦時，較全國平均鋁處理水平低了七個多百分點。該公司最近為鋁處理安裝了世界上最先進的連鑄連軋技術，其中使用了MS DEMAG 公司和ABB的技術，可以實現節約26%的用電量。

“This order strengthens ABB’s position as the leading supplier of electrical and automation systems to the steel and non-ferrous metal industry,” said Tobias Becker, Head of the Process Automation Division of ABB China and North Asia. “Our tailored solutions offer significant energy savings, reducing cost and environmental impact.”

ABB過程自動化部中國和北亞主管Tobias Becker表示：“這項訂單加強了ABB作為鋼鐵和非鐵金屬加工業電氣和自動化系統的領先供應商地位。我們個性化的解決方案帶來了顯著的能源節省，降低了成本和對環境的不良影響。”

ABB will supply Yunnan Aluminum with a full set of electrical and automation equipment, including the main motors and drives, System 800xA Extended Automation, and engineering and commissioning work for the project. This is the fourth order in China that ABB has won with SMS DEMAG. ABB has also provided power and automation solutions for the largest aluminum processing plant in Europe, run by Hydro Aluminum, helping to increase capacity by 15 percent and energy efficiency by 25 percent.

ABB將為云南鋁業提供全套電氣及自動化設備，包括主要的電機和驅動，System 800xA Extended Automation系統，以及項目的施工和調試工作。這是ABB和SMS DEMAG公司在中國共同奪得的第四份訂單。ABB還為由Hydro運營的歐洲最大的鋁加工廠提供了電力和自動化解決方案，幫助客戶提升了15%的產量以及節省25%的能源效率。
