2008年12月18日ABB在加利福尼亞州洛杉磯獲得價值8700萬美元訂單擴(kuò)大和加強(qiáng)電力傳輸網(wǎng)絡(luò)領(lǐng)域，以便它能夠提供更多的電力來自可再生能源。 國際電力工程南方傳輸系統(tǒng)到2010年將增加25%至2400萬千瓦,此次升級的一部分洛杉磯水電局和電力公司（ LADWP ）的目標(biāo)是到2010年使20%的電力客戶可再生能源的。 “ ABB是自豪地成為該項(xiàng)目的一部分，這是非常符合我們的重點(diǎn)放在提高能源效率和利用可再生能源的權(quán)力，”ABB公司的電力系統(tǒng)部門負(fù)責(zé)人Peter Leupp說。 國際電力機(jī)構(gòu)和LADWP 、業(yè)務(wù)代理、選擇ABB以提高高壓直流（HVDC）系統(tǒng)國家最先進(jìn)的控制和保護(hù)系統(tǒng)、MACH2、以及有效的冷卻系統(tǒng)，閥門的轉(zhuǎn)換目前從AC到DC和背面，并增加AC以加強(qiáng)過濾器質(zhì)量的電力供應(yīng)。 50多年前ABB HVDC首創(chuàng)技術(shù)并具有豐富的經(jīng)驗(yàn)在新的設(shè)施和翻修的部門。 ABB是世界領(lǐng)先的這種HVDC高效率的技術(shù)與60多個世界各地的項(xiàng)目，共提供傳輸能力超過48000兆瓦。 LADWP實(shí)施該項(xiàng)目會造成現(xiàn)有的服務(wù)微乎其微的影響，75%系統(tǒng)的能力保持在整修一新。 LADWP ，在美國最大的市政公用局，為380萬居民和企業(yè)提供可靠的水和電力服務(wù)。 ABB是電力和自動化技術(shù)領(lǐng)域的全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)廠商，致力于為工業(yè)和電力行業(yè)客戶提供解決方案，以幫助客戶提高生產(chǎn)效率，同時降低對環(huán)境的不良影響。ABB集團(tuán)的業(yè)務(wù)遍布全球100多個國家，擁有大約120,000名雇員。 [font=times]original text [/font] [font=times]ABB to expand capacity of power transmission system [/font] [font=times][color=#708090]December 18, 2008 – ABB won an order worth $87 million to expand and strengthen the power transmission network in the area of Los Angeles, California, so that it can deliver more electricity from renewable sources. The capacity of the 22-year-old Intermountain Power Project Southern Transmission System will be increased by 25 percent to 2,400 megawatts by 2010. The upgrade is part of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s （LADWP） goal to bring 20 percent of power to customers from renewable energy sources by the end of the decade. “ABB is proud to be a part of this project, which is very much in line with our focus on increasing energy efficiency and leveraging the power of renewables,” said Peter Leupp, head of ABB‘s Power Systems division. Intermountain Power Agency and LADWP, the operating agent, selected ABB to upgrade the high-voltage direct current （HVDC） system with a state-of-the-art control and protection system, MACH2, as well as efficient cooling systems for the valves that convert the current from AC to DC and back, and additional AC filters to strengthen the quality of the power supply. ABB pioneered HVDC transmission technology more than 50 years ago and has extensive experience in both new installations and refurbishments in the sector. ABB remains the world leader in this high-efficiency technology, with over 60 HVDC projects around the world, providing a total transmission capacity of more than 48,000 MW. The project implementation for LADWP will cause minimal disruption to existing services, with 75 percent of the system’s capacity being maintained during the refurbishment. LADWP, the largest municipal utility in the U.S., delivers reliable water and electric service to around 3.8 million residents and businesses. 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 120,000 people.[/color][/font]
