The Fenno-Skan 2 project will strengthen the power transmission between Sweden and Finland.

該Fenno-Skan 2號線項目將加強瑞典和芬蘭之間的電力傳輸

Zurich, Switzerland, May 13, 2008 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, announced today it has won a contract worth $170 million from Svenska Kraftnat and Fingrid Oyj, the transmission system operators in Sweden and Finland. ABB will supply two HVDC (high-voltage, direct current) converter stations for the Fenno-Skan 2 power link. The converter stations will be part of an 800-MW (megawatt) extension of the existing 550-MW Fenno-Skan 1 link, delivered by ABB in 1989. ABB will use its state-of-the-art HVDC technology and equipment.

瑞士蘇黎世5月13日消息—— 領先的電力和自動化技術集團ABB今天宣布從Svenska Kraftnat和Fingrid Oyj，兩家瑞典和芬蘭的傳輸系統運營商，贏得了一份價值1億7000萬美元的合同。ABB將為Fenno-Skan2號電力連接線提供兩個HVDC（高壓直流）換流站。這些換流站將是現有的、由ABB在1989年交付的550兆瓦Fenno-Skan1號線的800兆瓦擴展工程的一部分。ABB將使用其頂級的高壓直流技術和設備。

“ABB’s HVDC technology will further strengthen the Nordic power grid, enhancing the capacity for power trading and improving the security of supply in the region,” said Peter Leupp, head of ABB’s Power Systems division.

ABB電力系統部主管Peter Leupp表示：“ABB的高壓直流技術將進一步加強北歐的電力網，提高電力貿易的容量，增強該地區電力供應的安全性?！?/P>

The contract is part of a larger scheme that includes a 400-kV AC (alternating current) substation in Finnbole, a 70- km DC overhead line in Sweden and a 200-km submarine cable.

該合同是一個更大計劃的一部分，這個計劃包括一個位于Finnbole的400千伏交流變電站，一個位于瑞典境內的70千米直流高架線，以及一條200千米的海底電纜。

For the Fenno-Skan 2 project, ABB will be responsible for system engineering, including design, supply and installation of the two HVDC converter stations. The system is scheduled to be in operation by the end of 2011.

對于Fenno-Skan 2號線項目，ABB將負責系統工程工作，包括設計、供應和安裝兩個高壓直流換流站。該系統預計在2011年底投入使用。

ABB pioneered HVDC technology more than 50 years ago when the company built the world’s first commercial HVDC transmission link in Sweden. ABB remains the world leader in HVDC transmission technology, with over 60 HVDC projects improving the transmission capacity of utilities around the world by more than 48,000 MW.

ABB在五十多年前開創了HVDC技術，其時該公司在瑞典建成了世界上第一條商業HVDC傳輸線。ABB至今仍然保持著HVDC傳輸技術的全球領導者地位，在全球實施了60多個HVDC項目，增加的傳輸容量超過4萬8千兆瓦。

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.
