The expansion will double the smelter's production capacity of aluminum ingots, rods and rolled products.

該擴展計劃將把該煉鋁廠的鋁錠、鋁條以及軋材產品的生產能力翻一倍。

ABB’s scope of supply also includes a new 400/220-kilovolt (kV) switchyard to supply the new smelter plant with reliable power, as well as a high-performance process control system with fiber optic current sensors, as well as an ABB MicroSCADA control system for the power distribution network , substation switching bays, power and station transformers.

ABB的供應范圍還包括一個新的400/220千伏的配電裝置，為新煉鋁廠提供可靠的電力，以及一套具備光纖電流傳感器的高性能過程控制系統(tǒng)，還有一套用于配電網絡、變電站配電艙、電力和電站變壓器的ABB MicroSCADA控制系統(tǒng)。

ABB has already supplied rectifier systems for phase one of the Jharsuguda plant expansion in 2007-08. When phase two is complete in 2009, Vedanta’s total aluminum smelting capacity will be approximately 1,700,000 tons per annum (tpa), making it one of the largest integrated aluminum producers in the world.

ABB已經為2007-08期間的恰爾蘇古達工廠擴建一期工程提供了整流器系統(tǒng)。一旦二期工程在2009年完成，Vedanta的總煉鋁能力將達到大約170萬噸每年，成為世界上最大的綜合鋁生產商之一。
