瑞士蘇黎世（2007年10月5日），世界領先的電力和自動化科技集團ABB從德國E.ON Kraftwerke有限公司獲得1.1千萬合同為電力站提供高級的電力轉換系統。 ABB將為E.ON在Rhein-Ruhr地區Datteln，正在建設中的新100MW燃煤發電站提供400MW的轉換系統，為德國鐵路提供電力供應。此系統將成為世界上最大的電力轉換系統。 ABB自動化產品部門領導Tom Sjoekvist說：“此工程突出了我們在電力電子領域的市場領導能力，為每種應用建造電力轉換系統的都是ABB的核心專家，既能夠使我們傳送系統的記錄性能，又能夠滿足用戶在操作方面經濟節約的需求。” 此鐵路電力轉換系統將對E.ON電廠發電的頻率進行轉化，轉化為中歐鐵路系統使用的低頻率（從50Hz到16.7Hz）。德國，奧地利，瑞士，瑞典和挪威的鐵路系統都使用低頻率電力。 ABB主要負責工程，設備運送，安裝和系統的試運行，工程預計完成日期為2011年，實際完成將提前一年完成。 關于ABB ABB是世界知名的大型電力及自動化技術集團，其總部設在瑞士蘇黎士，主要致力于為公用事業和工業用戶提供高性能低環境影響的服務。服務于全球100多個國家，擁有員工111,000人。 [font=times]original text [/font] [font=times]ABB wins $110 million power converter order in Germany [/font] [font=times][color=#708090]System to convert traction power for railways will be the largest in the world Zurich, Switzerland, Oct. 5, 2007 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has received an order worth $110 million from E.ON Kraftwerke GmbH to supply an advanced railway power converter system for a power station in Germany. ABB will supply the 400-megawatt （MW） system for E.ON’s new 1100 MW coal-fired power station, currently under construction in Datteln, in the Rhein-Ruhr region, to provide electricity to German railways. It will be the largest power converter system of this type ever built. “This project underscores our market leadership in power electronics,” said Tom Sjoekvist, head of ABB’s Automation Products division. “Building power converters for every kind of application is a core expertise at ABB, enabling us to deliver a system of record capacity that will also meet customer needs for operational and energy efficiency.” The railway power converter system will change the frequency of electricity produced by the E.ON power plant to the lower frequency used by rail systems in central Europe - from 50 hertz （Hz） to 16.7 Hz. Rail systems in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden and Norway all use electrical power at low frequency. ABB is responsible for engineering, equipment delivery, installation and commissioning of the system, which will be delivered in 2010. The plant startup is scheduled for 2011.
