ABB赢得7千万美元订单，架设中国东北电线

Reliable power supply to help industrial development of Liaoning province

可靠的电力供应帮助辽宁省的工业发展

Zurich, Switzerland, June 18, 2008 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has won a $70-million order for power equipment from State Grid Corporation of China for a new power link in northeastern China that will help the development of industry in the region.

瑞士苏黎世6月18日消息——领先的电力和自动化技术集团ABB从中国国家电网公司手上赢得了一份价值7千万美元的电力设备订单，架设一条将帮助中国东北地区工业发展的新电线。

The new HVDC (high-voltage, direct current) link will transmit 3,000 MW (megawatts) of power over 920 kilometers from Hulunbeir, in Inner Mongolia, to Shenyang in Liaoning province. The ABB order is part of a project with an estimated total value of $400 million.

这条新的HVDC（高压直流）电线将从内蒙古的呼伦贝尔市传输3000兆瓦的电力到辽宁省的沈阳市，全长920公里。这份ABB订单是一项预计总价值达4亿美元项目其中的一部分。

“We are very pleased that State Grid Corporation has selected ABB for this portion of an important project to support the rejuvenation of Liaoning’s industrial base,” said Peter Leupp, head of ABB’s Power Systems division. “ABB has unrivalled experience in high-voltage direct current, with projects on every continent, on land and at sea.”

ABB电力系统部主管Peter Leupp表示：“我们很高兴中国国家电网公司选择了ABB参与了这项支持振兴辽宁工业基地的重要项目。ABB在高压直流传输领域拥有无可比拟的经验，再每个大陆的路上和海上都有项目。”

The new DC power transmission link will run in parallel to an existing alternating current (AC) link, creating a so-called hybrid transmission corridor with a higher capacity and greater reliability. The proportion of power lost as heat into the atmosphere will also decline as DC links have smaller losses than AC over long distances.

这条新的直流电力传输线将与目前现有的交流电力传输线平行，创造一个具有更大容量和更高可靠性的混合传输走廊称号。作为热量传到大气中的电力损失比例也将下降，因为直流传输线在长距离传输中比交流传输线损失更少。

ABB will provide key components for the converter stations at each end of the link, to switch AC to DC and then back to AC again, as well as measuring equipment for the converter stations. The link is scheduled for commercial operation in December 2009.

ABB将为电线各端的变流器站提供主要的设备，将交流电转化成直流电，然后再次转化成交流电，同时提供的还有用于变流器站的测量设备。该电力传输线预计在2009年12月投入商业运营。

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.
