Zurich, Switzerland, May 13, 2008 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, announced today it has won a contract worth $170 million from Svenska Kraftnat and Fingrid Oyj, the transmission system operators in Sweden and Finland. ABB will supply two HVDC (high-voltage, direct current) converter stations for the Fenno-Skan 2 power link. The converter stations will be part of an 800-MW (megawatt) extension of the existing 550-MW Fenno-Skan 1 link, delivered by ABB in 1989. ABB will use its state-of-the-art HVDC technology and equipment.

瑞士苏黎世5月13日消息—— 领先的电力和自动化技术集团ABB今天宣布从Svenska Kraftnat和Fingrid Oyj，两家瑞典和芬兰的传输系统运营商，赢得了一份价值1亿7000万美元的合同。ABB将为Fenno-Skan2号电力连接线提供两个HVDC（高压直流）换流站。这些换流站将是现有的、由ABB在1989年交付的550兆瓦Fenno-Skan1号线的800兆瓦扩展工程的一部分。ABB将使用其顶级的高压直流技术和设备。

“ABB’s HVDC technology will further strengthen the Nordic power grid, enhancing the capacity for power trading and improving the security of supply in the region,” said Peter Leupp, head of ABB’s Power Systems division.

ABB电力系统部主管Peter Leupp表示：“ABB的高压直流技术将进一步加强北欧的电力网，提高电力贸易的容量，增强该地区电力供应的安全性。”

The contract is part of a larger scheme that includes a 400-kV AC (alternating current) substation in Finnbole, a 70- km DC overhead line in Sweden and a 200-km submarine cable.

该合同是一个更大计划的一部分，这个计划包括一个位于Finnbole的400千伏交流变电站，一个位于瑞典境内的70千米直流高架线，以及一条200千米的海底电缆。

For the Fenno-Skan 2 project, ABB will be responsible for system engineering, including design, supply and installation of the two HVDC converter stations. The system is scheduled to be in operation by the end of 2011.

对于Fenno-Skan 2号线项目，ABB将负责系统工程工作，包括设计、供应和安装两个高压直流换流站。该系统预计在2011年底投入使用。

ABB pioneered HVDC technology more than 50 years ago when the company built the world’s first commercial HVDC transmission link in Sweden. ABB remains the world leader in HVDC transmission technology, with over 60 HVDC projects improving the transmission capacity of utilities around the world by more than 48,000 MW.

ABB在五十多年前开创了HVDC技术，其时该公司在瑞典建成了世界上第一条商业HVDC传输线。ABB至今仍然保持着HVDC传输技术的全球领导者地位，在全球实施了60多个HVDC项目，增加的传输容量超过4万8千兆瓦。

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 112,000 people.
