ABB wins $160 million order to supply world’s longest underground cable system
ABB贏得1.6億美元全球最長地下電纜系統供應訂單
High-voltage cable will increase capacity and reliability of Swedish power grid
高壓電纜將提升瑞典電網的發電能力和可靠性
Zurich, Switzerland, Jan. 4, 2012 – ABB, the global power and automation technology group, has won an order worth around $160 million from Svenska Kraftnat, the national grid operator, to provide a new high-voltage underground cable system for the South-West Link power transmission project in southern Sweden. When completed in 2014, this will be the longest and most powerful underground cable link in the world. The order was booked in the fourth quarter of 2011.
瑞士蘇黎世1月4日消息——全球領先的電力和自動化技術集團ABB宣布,從瑞典國家電網營運商Svenska Kraftnat公司贏得一份價值大約1.6億美元的訂單,為瑞典南部西南線輸電工程提供一條新的高壓地下電纜系統。一旦在2014年完工,該電纜將成為全球最長以及最強大的地下電纜。該訂單是在2011年第四季度簽署的。
The main objective of the new transmission system is to enhance capacity and strengthen the reliability of the national power grid. It will help boost transmission capacity in the south of the country and between Sweden and Norway. The link will also facilitate the future integration of large-scale wind power into the Swedish power network.
新傳輸系統的主要目的是提高發電能力,加強國家電網的可靠性。它將幫助提升瑞典南部以及瑞典和挪威之間的的輸電能力。該電纜線還將促進未來大型風電整合到瑞典電力網絡。
ABB’s underground HVDC cable system will have the capacity to transport 2 x 660 megawatts (MW) of electric power at a voltage level of 300 kilovolts (kV) across a distance of about 200 kilometers between Barkaryd and Hurva in southern Sweden. ABB is responsible for the design, engineering, manufacture, supply and installation of the entire cable system, including terminations, joints and other accessories.
ABB的高壓直流地下電纜系統將具備以300千伏的電壓傳輸2 x 660兆瓦電力的能力,橫跨瑞典南部Hurva和Barkaryd之間大約200公里的距離。ABB負責整個電纜系統的設計、工程、制造、供應以及安裝,包括終端、接頭以及其他配件。
“This cable solution will boost power capacity, facilitate power exchange and help integrate more renewable energy,” said Peter Leupp, head of ABB's Power Systems division. “It will also reduce the impact of power system disturbances and contribute to the stability and reliability of the grid. ABB continues to build on its legacy of pioneering technology and setting global benchmarks.”
ABB電力系統部負責人路義普表示:“該電纜解決方案將提高發電能力,促進電力交換以及幫助整合更多的可再生能源。它還將減少電力系統擾動的影響,有助于電網的穩定性和可靠性。ABB繼續保持了其領先的技術傳統,并設定了全球基準。”
ABB recently announced investments of $90 million and $400 million in the US and Sweden to increase production capacity of land and subsea cables respectively.
ABB近日宣布在美國和瑞典分別投資9千萬美元和4億美元,用于擴大地上和海底電纜的生產能力。
