ABB wins $120-million power transmission order in China

ABB贏得中國1.2億美元的電力傳輸訂單

April 14, 2011 — ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has won an order worth about $120 million to engineer and supply key equipment for the Jinping-Sunan 800 kilovolt (kV) Ultra High Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) power transmission project of the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC). The order was booked in the first quarter.

4月14日消息——領先的電力和自動化技術集團ABB贏得一份價值大約1.2億美元的訂單，為中國國家電網(wǎng)公司的錦屏-蘇南800KV特高壓直流輸電(UHVDC)工程施工和提供關鍵設備。

The system and key equipment will be designed in close cooperation with SGCC and local Chinese partners, and ABB will also supply key components for both converter stations, including converter valves, the control and protection system and DC yard equipment. As separately announced, ABB has also been selected to supply the 800 kilovolt (kV) UHVDC transformers for both converter stations.

該系統(tǒng)和關鍵設備的設計將緊密與國家電網(wǎng)公司和當?shù)刂袊献骰锇檫M行合作，ABB還將為兩座換流站提供關鍵部件，包括換流閥、控制和保護系統(tǒng)、直流場設備。另外宣布的是，ABB還被選中為兩座換流站提供800千伏特高壓直流變壓器設備。

The 2,090 km power link will transport clean hydropower from Sichuan province in central-western China to the highly industrialized coastal area in the eastern province of Jiangsu. The UHVDC link will have a rated capacity of 7,200 megawatts (MW), and is expected to be energized in 2013.

全長2090公里的電力傳輸線將中國中西部四川省的清潔水電輸送到高度工業(yè)化的東部沿海省份江蘇。該UHVDC線路額定容量將達7200兆瓦，計劃在2013年投入運行。

“The Jinping-Sunan project reflects the continued confidence of SGCC in ABB’s technologies and globally proven domain expertise in HVDC,” said Peter Leupp, head of ABB’s Power Systems division.”We have a long track record in China and are pleased to continue supporting the country in its efforts to strengthen the national power infrastructure and minimize environmental impact.”

ABB集團電力系統(tǒng)部負責人Peter Leupp表示：“錦屏-蘇南工程反映了中國國家電網(wǎng)公司對ABB的技術和驗證過的全球HVDC領域?qū)I(yè)技術的持續(xù)信任。我們跟中國有著長久的合作，也很高興可以繼續(xù)支持這個國家加強其國內(nèi)電力基礎設施和減低環(huán)境影響的努力。”

UHVDC is a technological development of HVDC, pioneered by ABB more than 50 years ago, and is the biggest leap in transmission capacity and efficiency in more than two decades. Power transmission at ultrahigh voltage levels has considerable advantages for the environment as it enables more efficient use of renewable energy sources and reduces dependency on fossil fuels. It also minimizes power losses and requires a smaller transmission corridor than conventional technologies. It is particularly suitable for large countries like China and India, where centers of high power consumption are often located far from the energy sources.

特高壓直流技術是ABB集團50多年前率先研發(fā)的高壓直流輸電技術的進一步發(fā)展，也是近20多年來輸電線路在輸電容量和效率上實現(xiàn)的最大技術突破。特高壓輸電技術對環(huán)境影響具有相當大的優(yōu)勢，可以更加高效地利用可再生能源、降低對化石能源的依賴。它還可以減少電力損失，比傳統(tǒng)傳輸技術需要的傳輸走廊也要小得多。特高壓直流技術在中國和印度這樣國土遼闊的國家尤其適用，因為這些國家的電力使用中心通常都遠離能源來源地區(qū)。

SGCC is the country’s leading power utility responsible for the construction and operation of a vast power network that covers 26 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across a service area that represents 88 percent of the national territory.

中國國家電網(wǎng)公司是中國領先的電力企業(yè)，以建設和運營電網(wǎng)為核心業(yè)務，經(jīng)營區(qū)域覆蓋全國26個省、自治區(qū)、直轄市，覆蓋國土面積的88%。

ABB is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve their performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 124,000 people.

ABB是全球領先的電力和自動化技術企業(yè)，致力于幫助電力、公共事業(yè)和工業(yè)客戶提高業(yè)績，同時降低對環(huán)境的影響。ABB集團業(yè)務遍布全球100多個國家，擁有12.4萬名員工。
