ABB to provide SCADA system to National Grid
 
ABB為美國國家電網提供SCADA系統

September 1, 2009 – ABB will implement its Network Manager SCADA/EMS (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition/Energy Management System) solution in the U.S. for National Grid, a leading energy utility.

9月1日消息——ABB將為美國國家電網這家領先的電力機構實施其”網絡管理器SCADA/EMS（數據采集與監視控制/能源管理系統）“解決方案。

National Grid will deploy the technology in its up-state New York and New England electric operations control centers to manage the transmission and distribution networks in the region. This will facilitate a common platform for system support and operations, thus improving efficiency and maintaining a reliable and secure system.

美國國家電網將采用該技術在其最新的紐約和新英格蘭電力調度控制中心，管理該地區的輸配電網絡。這將為系統支持和運營促成一個共同平臺，從而提高效率和保持一個安全可靠的系統。

“We are delighted to work with National Grid,” said Jens Birgersson, head of Network Management at ABB, a part of the Power Systems division. “Network Manager is a market leader that enables reliable, secure and energy-efficient network operation, and is an ideal base for smart grid applications.”

ABB電力系統部網絡管理主管Jens Birgersson表示：“我們很高興與國家電網合作。‘網絡管理器’是一個市場領導者，能夠實現可靠、安全、節能高效的網絡操作，以及是智能電網應用的一個理想基礎。”

As part of the project scope, ABB will provide design, engineering, software, hardware, system implementation and related services. The Network Manager platform includes the SCADA system, advanced power system applications, user interface with advanced visualization and situational awareness, as well as a fully integrated operator training simulator. It also has system integration capabilities, including the use of CIM (Common Information Model), full system redundancy and offers scope for expansion. Network Manager meets industry mandated NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection Standards and National Grid cyber security requirements.

作為該項目范圍的一部分，ABB將提供設計、工程、軟件、硬件、系統的實施以及相關服務。該網絡管理平臺包括SCADA系統、先進的電力系統應用、擁有先進的可視化和態勢感知的用戶界面，以及一個完全集成的操作人員培訓仿真器。它還具有系統集成能力，包括CIM（通用信息模型）的使用、完全系統冗余以及提供擴展余地。“網絡管理器”符合業界強制的NERC關鍵基礎設施保護標準和國家電網網絡安全性要求。

“This project is part of National Grid’s continuing investment in enhancing service and reliability for our customers” said Masheed H. Saidi, National Grid’s executive vice president and chief operating officer for U.S. Transmission. “We look forward to benefiting from ABB’s resources and expertise.”

美國國家電網執行副總裁兼美國電網傳輸部首席運營官Masheed H. Saidi表示：“這個項目是國家電網繼續為客戶加強服務和可靠性投資的一部分。我們期待著從ABB公司的資源和專業知識中受益。”

National Grid is an international energy delivery company, owning over 4,000 megawatts of contracted electricity generation capacity in the US and delivering electricity to around 3.3 million customers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Rhode Island. It also manages the electricity network on Long Island under an agreement with the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA).

美國國家電網一個國際能源供應公司，在美國擁有超過4000兆瓦的合約發電容量，為馬薩諸塞州、新罕布什爾州、紐約州和羅得島州大約330萬的客戶提供電力。它還與長島電力管理局有一份協議，管理著長島的電力網絡。

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 120,000 people.
