瑞士苏黎世3月31日消息——全球领先的电力和自动化技术集团ABB公司今天宣布赢得了价值2,400万美元的合同，帮助瑞典东南部奥斯卡桑(Oskarshamn)核电厂核反应堆3号机组增加发电量。

The plant’s owner, OKG, wants to increase power generation from 1,200 to 1,450 megawatts, which is enough additional power to heat about 100,000 homes. ABB is a subcontractor to Alstom Power Sweden on the project, which was awarded by OKG to perform the necessary upgrades on the turbine and electrical plant.

该核电厂的拥有者OKG公司希望把发电量从1,200兆瓦特增加到1,450兆瓦特，这增加的电量足够满足了100,000个家庭的需求量。ABB是该工程的次承包商，主承包商瑞典阿尔斯通电力公司（Alstom Power Sweden）

“ABB provides world leading instrumentation, control and electrification systems for power plant upgrades such as this,” said Samir Brikho, head of ABB’s Power Systems division. “ABB also has broad product and nuclear power plant competence, which for our customer was a decisive factor in the awarding this contract.”

ABB电力系统部主管Samir Brikho说道：“ABB为此类电厂的升级提供了世界领先的使用仪器、控制和电气化系统。ABB同样也有广泛的产品和核电厂能力。

ABB will deliver power transformers, modifications and certification of generator circuit breakers and isolated phase bus ducts, as well as project work and support to the plant.

ABB将交付电力变压器，发电机电路断路器的修正和证明，隔离相位总线管，以及支持电厂的项目工作。

ABB’s technology will be used to transmit electricity reliably and safely from the plant’s power generators to Sweden’s 400-kilovolt (kV) grid. The project is scheduled for completion in mid-2008.

ABB的技术将应用于使电力从核电厂的发电机可靠安全地转送到瑞典的400千伏特电网上。该项目预计在2008年中期竣工。

OKG operates three nuclear power plants, which together supply 10 percent of Sweden’s total electricity supply. Oskarshamn Unit 3 is OKG’s largest reactor, which after the upgrade will operate until 2045.

OKG 公司运营着三个核电厂，提供着瑞典全国电力供应总量的10% 。奥斯卡桑核3号机组是OKG最大的反应堆，在升级完成之后，将服役至2045年。
