System to convert traction power for railways will be the largest in the world

该铁路牵引电力转换系统将成为世界上最大

Zurich, Switzerland, Oct. 5, 2007 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has received an order worth $110 million from E.ON Kraftwerke GmbH to supply an advanced railway power converter system for a power station in Germany.

瑞士苏黎世10月5日消息——领先的电力和自动化技术集团ABB公司获得了来自E.ON Kraftwerke公司的一份价值1亿1千万美元的订单，为在德国的一座电站提供一套先进的铁路电力转换系统。

ABB will supply the 400-megawatt (MW) system for E.ON’s new 1100 MW coal-fired power station, currently under construction in Datteln, in the Rhein-Ruhr region, to provide electricity to German railways. It will be the largest power converter system of this type ever built.

ABB将为 E.ON正在莱茵-鲁尔地区Datteln在建的新燃煤发电站提供400兆瓦的系统，该电站为德国的铁路提供电力。这将是该类型有史以来建成的最大的电源转换系统。

“This project underscores our market leadership in power electronics,” said Tom Sjoekvist, head of ABB’s Automation Products division. “Building power converters for every kind of application is a core expertise at ABB, enabling us to deliver a system of record capacity that will also meet customer needs for operational and energy efficiency.”

ABB自动化产品部主管Tom Sjoekvist表示：“该项目充分凸显了我们在电力电子技术方面的市场领导地位。为每一种应用建立电力转换是ABB的一个核心专长，使我们能够提供一个记录容量系统，也将满足客户对业务和能源效率的需求。”

The railway power converter system will change the frequency of electricity produced by the E.ON power plant to the lower frequency used by rail systems in central Europe - from 50 hertz (Hz) to 16.7 Hz. Rail systems in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden and Norway all use electrical power at low frequency.

该铁路电力转换系统将把E.ON电厂产生的电力频率转换成在中欧铁路系统所使用的更低频率——50赫兹到16.7赫兹。在德国，奥地利，瑞士，瑞典和挪威的铁路系统都使用低频电力。

ABB is responsible for engineering, equipment delivery, installation and commissioning of the system, which will be delivered in 2010. The plant startup is scheduled for 2011.

ABB负责工程、设备交付、安装和调试该系统，将于2010年交付。该电厂计划在2011年投入使用。

ABB is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 111,000 people.

ABB是电力和自动化技术领域的全球领导厂商，致力于为工业和电力行业客户提供解决方案，以帮助客户提高生产效率，同时降低对环境的不良影响。ABB集团的业务遍布全球100多个国家，拥有大约111,000名雇员。
