ABB为大型水力发电厂实施升级

2006-02-28 - ABB is installing protection and control systems to modernize the Guri power plant in Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela, the second largest hydroelectric plant in the world.

2006-02-28—ABB正在为世界上第二大的水力发电厂——委内瑞拉古里发电厂安装现代化的保护和控制系统。

Upgrades will strengthen the national power grid, part of a USD 26 million contract from ELELCA (Electrificacion del Caroni).

本次升级将加强和改善委内瑞拉国家电力网，这是来自ELELCA价值2千6百万美元合同中的一部分。

With 10 GW of installed capacity, Guri supplies 60 percent of the electricity demand in Venezuela – including all the country's major industries and population centers. Along with the retrofit, ABB will provide installation and training through a consortium from offices in Venezuela, Canada and Switzerland.

拥有10GM的安装容量，古里发电厂供应着委内瑞拉60%的用电需求量，包括全国主要工业和人口中心的用电量。随着本次升级更新，ABB还将通过来自委内瑞拉、加拿大和瑞士分公司人员组成的联合组提供安装和培训。

“This contract award demonstrates the customer’s confidence in our technology and in particular the reliability of our systems," said Sandy Taylor, Canada’s country manager.

加拿大分公司经理Sandy Taylor说：“这分合同的签署表明了客户对我们的技术有充分的信心，特别是我们系统的可靠性。”

Daniel Rubinstein, sales leader and engineer on the project, said technical expertise and competitive pricing were “major factors” in obtaining the contract.

本次项目的销售主管和工程师Daniel Rubinstein指出专业技术优势和有竞争力的价格是ABB获得这个合同的主要因素。

Over the years the plant has been upgraded from 10 generation units and an installed capacity of 2,065 MW in 1978, to feature 10 additional generation units at 730 MW each. Additional units were installed in a second power house in 1985.

发电厂从1978年的安装容量为2,065 MW的10台发电设备，不断升级，又增加了每台功率为730 MW的10台发电设备。新加的设备是在1985年安装在第二个发电房里的。

ABB systems will be installed in several phases, beginning in 2007. The power dam is almost a mile long at 1,300 meters (4290 feet), with a height of 162 meters (534 feet).

ABB的系统将在2007年开始，将分为几个阶段完成。发电厂的大坝将近有1英里长，大概1,300米（4,290英尺），高162米（534英尺）。

Canada’s team in securing the contract included Rubinstein, Harry Hudson and Tito Ghio, with support from the Power Generation business unit.

确保本次合同顺利实施的加拿大小组成员包括Rubinstein, Harry Hudson和 Tito Ghio，还有来自发电业务部门的大力支援。
