2007年4月13號新聞――菲律賓和西澳大利亞是最新的兩個追隨全球解除管制電力市場趨勢的國家。這意味著ABB邊緣技術軟件和計算機電力貿易系統在去年實現了聯機。 電力貿易在最近由不可能變成了一種日用品。電的生產和消耗都是即時的，直到20世紀早期，世界范圍內的電供應都是政府控制壟斷的。 但是上面的一切在過去的十年里已經被改變了，由于計算機應用的增張，可優化數千個發電機同時買賣的精密軟件中出現基于貿易系統和其優勢的因特網以及解決國家電網安全負載的應用，使得這一切成為了過去。 菲律賓和西澳大利亞現已加入世界上其它五個主要的計算機網絡，利用ABB計算機系統和軟件管理操作他們的電力市場。在西澳大利亞，WEMS在2006年9月將貿易系統推向市場，然而在2006年6月在菲律賓就已經流行開來。 活動在交易所中永遠都沒有停止過，作為工作在菲律賓WESM中的員工見證了ABB系統進入操作系統。完整的系統包括上百個計算機服務器、與客戶現用的儀表結合、商務和能量管理系統 ABB的強項 ABB是這些非常完善的系統的世界領先者，同時還為他們提供世界上一半的解除管制的電力市場。 ABB在加州Santa Clara的電力系統集團代言人Peter Maltbaek說：“對于ABB來說，處理在世界上存在了15年多的解除管制電力觀念，這是一個新的商業領域。菲律賓和西澳大利亞現已經聯機，ABB在世界范圍內已經擁有7個這樣的操作系統，我們為在過去的5年中取得的許多國際性的成就。” ABB系統保證解除管制市場享有電力制造商和消費者之間安全的電子交易。他們可以在保證國家電網安全的情況下，利用計算機技術最小化生產成本。 original text [COLOR=#708090]The power trade 2007-04-13 - The Philippines and Western Australia are the latest countries to follow the global trend of deregulating electricity markets. That means two more cutting-edge ABB software and computer systems trading electricity live have gone online within the past year. Trading electricity like a commodity was until recently thought to be impossible. Electricity is instantaneously produced and consumed, and until the early 1990s, the world’s electricity supply was managed by government-regulated, vertically-integrated, monopolistic utility companies. But all this has changed in the past decade, thanks to significant increases in computing power, the arrival of internet-based trading systems and advances in the mathematical software that can optimize buying and selling between thousands of generators and loads - even while maintaining the security of the national grid. The Philippines and Western Australia now join five other major networks around the world using ABB computer systems and software to manage and operate their power markets. In Western Australia, the Wholesale Electricity Market System （WEMS） launched a live trading system in September 2006, while in the Philippines the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market （WESM） "went live" in June 2006. An ABB specialty ABB is a world leader in the development of these very sophisticated systems, and have supplied them for about half of the world’s deregulated electricity markets. "It’s a new business area for ABB, dealing with a deregulated power concept that did not even exist in the world 15 years ago,” says Peter Maltbaek, spokesman for ABB’s power systems group in Santa Clara, California. “With the Philippines and Western Australia now online, ABB has seven such systems in operation around the world, and we have been awarded most of the international procurements for new systems in the past five years.”ABB’s systems ensure deregulated markets enjoy secure e-commerce internet trading between power producers and consumers. They also make use of advanced computational techniques to minimize total power production costs, while preserving security in national power grids.[/COLOR]
