ABB turns wind into power in Quebec

ABB帮助魁北克风力发电

2006-03-20 - Having completed work on a Quebec wind farm in March 2005, ABB says it plans to be a major player in ongoing plans to turn Canada’s wind resources into useable electric power.

2006-03-20 - 在 2005 年三月完成了一个魁北克风力发电场建设的工作之后, ABB宣布将继续参与正在进行中的加拿大风力资源变成可使用的电力计划。

The 54-megawatt (MW) Mont Miller wind farm feeds electricity to more than 15,000 homes in the Gaspésie region of Quebec while, “contributing to clean and renewable energy and the diversification of power generation facilities," said Quebec Minister of Natural Resources and Wildlife, Pierre Corbeil.

这个54 兆瓦 (MW) 的Mont Miller风力发电场提供了魁北克Gaspésie地区超过 15,000个家庭的电力需求。同时，正如国家资源和野生动植物魁北克部长Pierre Corbeil所说的那样：“有助于清洁的新能源和发电设备的多元化。”

ABB is the world's leading supplier of electrical products and solutions to the wind power industry, including tower-to-grid power connections that meet the requirements and regulations of utilities like Hydro Quebec. At Mont Miller, production is forecast at more than 195,000 MW/hours per year.

ABB是世界领先的风力发电工业电力产品和解决方案的供应者，包括符合例如魁北克水电站的要求和规则的塔网式的电力连接.  Mont Miller电厂预计每年发电量超过 195,000 MW/ 小时。

ABB supplies all electrical components and infrastructure for converting the wind tower baldes' rotational energy into electricity - generators and motors, low and medium voltage drives, medium voltage switchgear, transformers, low voltage products, control and protection units, electrical substations and converters that correct the voltage of wind-created electricity, so that it can join the main power distribution grid.

ABB将提供所有的电力设备和基础建设用于将风塔转动产生的能量转化为电能这些设备包括：发电机和发动机，低中压驱动，中压开关，变压器，低压产品，控制和保护装置，变电站以及电压转换器。这些设备用于调整风力所发电的电压，使得其能连到主要的电力输送网中。

ABB designed, engineered and built all facilities needed to interconnect 30 Vestas wind turbines, including a substation, underground cables and a 22-kilometer access road. "We were very pleased with the ABB contribution to the Mont Miller project,” said Duncan Low of Northland Power’s Co-generation Associates, who developed the project with 3CI. “ABB managed the construction of the substation and the installation of the 34.5kV underground cables in extremely challenging conditions during the winter and to date we have not experienced any problems with the equipment,” added Low: “We hope to be able to work with ABB on other wind projects in the future.”

ABB设计、管理和建造相连 30个 Vestas 发电风车所需要的所有设备，包括一个变电站，地下电缆和一个 22 公里长的通道。与3 CI 共同开发这个项目的来自北部电力协调协会的Duncan Low指出：“我们对ABB能参与Mont Miller项目的建设感到非常高兴。ABB完成了变电站的建设，而且在冬天期间在极端挑战性的情况安装了34.5kV地下电缆。到目前为止，这些设备还没出过任何问题。我们希望在将来仍然可以和ABB在其他风力发电项目开展合作。”

The Vestas wind towers are 80 meters tall at the hub, with three blades each 40 meters long. Nominal rotation speed is 18 revolutions per minute, and each tower can produce 1.8 MW.

Vestas 风塔最高 大80 公尺，由三个长 40 公尺风叶组成.，平均旋转速度是每分钟 18 转，而且每个塔能生产 1.8 MW的电量。

The future of Canadian wind power

加拿大风力发电前景

ABB is already carving that future role; Canadian wind-energy development is poised for growth fueled by government tax credits, a favorable regulatory climate and wind resources that are among the best in the world. The Gaspésie region, for example, has recorded average daily wind speeds of over 9.5 meters per second in recent winter peak seasons.

ABB正在开创未来的角色。加拿大的风能源开发因政府的课税减免而发展很快，有利的调节气候和风力资源更是世界上最好的。例如，在Gaspésie地区，在近几个冬季测得平均日风速超过9.5米/每秒。

“This was our first wind project in Canada,” said Jean Guay, ABB's vice president of sales and marketing for power products and systems, “but it won’t be our last. We look forward to helping develop more of the country’s wind resources.”

ABB电力产品和系统市场销售部副总裁Jean Guay说：“这是我们在加拿大的第一个风力项目，但不是最后一个。我们期待着帮助这个国家开发更多的风力资源。”

A 14-fold increase in Canada’s wind power is projected by 2013, to a capacity of 8,000 MW from 570 MW. Studies suggest the country could meet 20 percent of its electricity needs by readily-developable wind resources, but it produces only 0.3 percent of electricity by wind today. A proposed increase to 8,000 MW would bump that percentage to about 4.0 percent.

到2013年，加拿大的风力发电量将从现在的570 MW增加14倍，达到8,000 MW每年。研究表明，加拿大正在逐步发展的风力发电量将可以满足全国20%的用电总量，但目前这个数字仅是0.3% 。而增加到8,000 MW的时候将使这个数字大概达到4% 。

By contrast, wind energy accounts for 18 percent of total electricity production in Denmark, and around six percent in Spain and Germany. In terms of installed wind power, Germany leads with about 17,000 megawatts of onshore wind capacity, out of a global installed capacity of about 50,000 megawatts. Spain is second, and the U.S. is number three.

相反地，风力发电量在丹麦占 18% 的总电制造量, 在西班牙和德国占大约六个百分比. 根据安装的风力电，德国因占全球 50,000MW陆上风力发电量中的大约 17,000MW而排在首位， 西班牙第二，美国则第三。

The owner of the Gaspésie wind farm is "Energie Eolienne du Mont Miller s.e.c." with maintenance of the wind turbines presently performed under contract with Vestas.

Gaspésie风力发电厂的拥有者是 "Energie Eolienne du Mont Miller s.e.c." ，目前根据合同由Vestas负责对发电风车的维护。

Wind energy projects installed in Canada in 2005 included the Pubnico Point Windfarm in Nova Scotia, the Mont Copper and Mont Miller Windfarms in Quebec, the St.Leon Windfarm in Manitoba and the Centennial Windfarm in Saskatchewan. This year will see wind energy projects underway in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

2005 年在加拿大安装的风力能源项目有新斯科舍省的Pubnico Point Windfarm，魁北克的Mont Copper和Mont Miller，曼尼托巴的St.Leon Windfarm和圣在萨斯卡万的Centennial Windfarm。今年正在开展的风力能源项目地点有亚伯达，萨斯卡万，曼尼托巴，安大略省，魁北克，新布兰斯维克，新斯科舍省和爱德华王子岛。
