ABB贏得7千萬美元訂單，架設中國東北電線

Reliable power supply to help industrial development of Liaoning province

可靠的電力供應幫助遼寧省的工業發展

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.

瑞士蘇黎世6月18日消息——領先的電力和自動化技術集團ABB從中國國家電網公司手上贏得了一份價值7千萬美元的電力設備訂單
，架設一條將幫助中國東北地區工業發展的新電線。

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.

這條新的HVDC（高壓直流）電線將從內蒙古的呼倫貝爾市傳輸3000兆瓦的電力到遼寧省的沈陽市
，全長920公裏。這份ABB訂單是一項預計總價值達4億美元項目其中的一部分。

“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電力係統部主管Peter Leupp表示：“我們很高興中國國家電網公司選擇了ABB參與了這項支持振興遼寧工業基地的重要項目。ABB在高壓直流傳輸領域擁有無可比擬的經驗，再每個大陸的路上和海上都有項目。”

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.

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.
