ABB wins $160 million order to supply world’s longest underground cable system
ABB赢得1.6亿美元全球最长地下电缆系统供应订单
High-voltage cable will increase capacity and reliability of Swedish power grid
高压电缆将提升瑞典电网的发电能力和可靠性
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.
瑞士苏黎世1月4日消息——全球领先的电力和自动化技术集团ABB宣布，从瑞典国家电网营运商Svenska Kraftnat公司赢得一份价值大约1.6亿美元的订单，为瑞典南部西南线输电工程提供一条新的高压地下电缆系统。一旦在2014年完工，该电缆将成为全球最长以及最强大的地下电缆。该订单是在2011年第四季度签署的。
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.
新传输系统的主要目的是提高发电能力，加强国家电网的可靠性。它将帮助提升瑞典南部以及瑞典和挪威之间的的输电能力。该电缆线还将促进未来大型风电整合到瑞典电力网络。
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的高压直流地下电缆系统将具备以300千伏的电压传输2 x 660兆瓦电力的能力，横跨瑞典南部Hurva和Barkaryd之间大约200公里的距离。ABB负责整个电缆系统的设计、工程、制造、供应以及安装，包括终端、接头以及其他配件。
“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电力系统部负责人路义普表示：“该电缆解决方案将提高发电能力，促进电力交换以及帮助整合更多的可再生能源。它还将减少电力系统扰动的影响，有助于电网的稳定性和可靠性。ABB继续保持了其领先的技术传统，并设定了全球基准。”
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近日宣布在美国和瑞典分别投资9千万美元和4亿美元，用于扩大地上和海底电缆的生产能力。
