ABB delivers world’s most powerful traction frequency converter

ABB交付全球最強大的牽引變頻器

Zurich, Switzerland, Sept. 22, 2014 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has delivered the world’s most powerful traction frequency converter system to E.ON, the leading German utility. The converter station located at the Datteln railway hub, is capable of supplying up to 25 percent of the power required by the German railways.

瑞士蘇黎世，2014年9月22日——領先的電力和自動化技術集團ABB為德國領先的電力公司意昂（E.ON）交付了全球最強大的牽引變頻器系統。該換流站位于Datteln鐵路樞紐，能夠提供德國鐵路所需電力的25％。

Rated at 413 megawatts (MW) and equipped with the most advanced power electronics, the system efficiently converts electricity from the country’s three-phase high-voltage grid with a rated frequency of 50 Hertz (Hz) to the 16.7 Hz required by the single-phase 110 kV (kilovolt) grid of Deutsche Bahn.

該系統額定功率為413兆瓦（MW），并配備了最先進的電力電子技術，能有效地將電力從國家額定頻率為50赫茲（Hz）的三相高壓電網轉換為德國鐵路單相110千伏電網所需的16.7赫茲。

“This is a prestigious project that deploys ABB’s state-of-the-art power conversion technology,” said Oleg Aleinikov, head of ABB’s Substations business, a part of the company’s Power Systems division. “Power electronics are playing a key role in driving efficiency and reliability across many key sectors like rail, and ABB is at the forefront of this development.”

ABB電力系統部變電站業務負責人Oleg Aleinikov 表示：“該項目聲名顯著，部署了ABB最先進的電力轉換技術。電力電子技術在推動諸多關鍵行業如鐵路的效率和可靠性方面有著關鍵的作用，而ABB處于這個領域發展的最前沿。”

As part of the turnkey contract, ABB was responsible for the design, engineering, installation and commissioning of the system. Key components of the containerized solution include transformers and frequency converters as well as control and cooling systems.

作為交鑰匙合同的一部分，ABB負責該系統的設計、工程、安裝以及調試。整個解決方案的主要組件包括變壓器和變頻器，以及控制和冷卻系統。

The system consists of four identical converter blocks to provide steady power supply. Designed to ensure exceptionally high levels of system availability and reliability, it enables maintenance work to be carried out on one of the converter blocks without compromising the conversion capacity of the entire plant.

該系統包括四個相同的轉換器模塊，以提供穩定的電力供應。為了確保系統極高的可用性和可靠性，其維修工作在任意一個轉換模塊即可進行，不會影響整個樞紐的轉換能力。

ABB has a range of power and automation products and solutions for the rail industry and a vast global installed base. Increasing concern for the environment, rapid urbanization, the need to move more people and freight faster and volatile fuel prices make rail a strategic focus sector for the company.

ABB在鐵路行業擁有一系列的電力和自動化產品，以及數量龐大的全球用戶群解決方案。對環境的日益關注，快速的城市化，運載更多乘客和貨物運輸更快的需求，以及揮發性燃料的價格，這些因素促使鐵路行業成為ABB的一個戰略重點。
