Billion Order and world record for ABB – Dala-Democrat

The order is one of the largest that the Transformers have been Thomas Andersson, who is also the manager in Ludvika, connect it to the staff of talented engineers available at the resort.

– This is a proof that we are at the forefront with our technology.

the order is for two links in China; Ximeng-Taizhou and Shanghaimiao-Shandong. In a press release explaining the ABB technical feat like this:

“The links, both of 800 kilovolts and a length of 1 609 and 1 231 km, will deliver 25 percent more power compared with the previous 800 kilovolts -links (ultra direct current), through the same narrow transmission corridor. the latest technological advances, including the converter transformer at 509 megavolt amperes, making it possible to increase the transmission capacity of UHVDC link to a new level. “

These links will transfer up to 10 gigawatts, thus named as a world record. That compares with Sweden’s entire production capacity of 30 gigawatts, or the capacity to transfer electricity to abroad through all 17 lines – 11 gigawatts.

The order includes transformers, bushings and tap changers to be delivered from ABB in Ludvika, whose factory is coordinator of the order. Other components included in the delivery is composite insulators ABB in Piteå and transformer insulation from ABB in Figeholm.

– This strengthens our shares for future business, says Thomas Andersson.

will this order will result in due order?

– There is nothing attached to the order, but our position will be strong.

With the new links should the State Grid Corporation of China transfer power generated in Inner Mongolia through long-distance pipelines, instead of transporting millions of tons of coal to various power plants. In this way is said to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by around one billion tonnes.

China has high electricity consumption in the eastern regions, while the country’s energy resources are in the western and northwestern parts.

The orders were booked in the first quarter in 2016.
