ABB wins contracts worth $33 million to supply Dutch wind project

ABB在荷兰赢得价值3,300万美元风力发电项目合同

Farm to power 140,000 homes, cut annual CO2 emissions by 255,000 tons

风力发电场可以为140,000个家庭供电，每年可以减少255,000吨二氧化碳的排放量

Zurich, Switzerland, July 12, 2006 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, said today it has won contracts worth a total of $33 million to provide power equipment and cable connections for the Dutch offshore wind farm, Q7.

瑞士苏黎世7月12日消息——领先的电力和自动化技术集团ABB公司今天表示赢得了总值3,300万美元的合同，为荷兰海上风力发电场Q7提供电力设备和电缆连接。

　　　　　　　　　　

“ABB leads the world in supplying renewable energy projects like this one with reliable products and systems,” said Samir Brikho, head of ABB’s Power Systems division. “Our strong local presence in the Netherlands, technical strength and broad experience in this market will help bring Q7 to life.”

ABB电力系统部主管Samir Brikho表示：“ABB引领着为诸如此项目的可再生能源项目提供可靠的产品和系统。我们在荷兰强大的本地化、技术实力以及在这个领域丰富的经验将帮助Q7带来强大的生命力。”

ABB will supply 24 kV (kilovolt) underwater power cables connecting 60 wind turbines to a 150 kV offshore transformer station, plus a 170 kV underwater power cable linking the offshore transformer station to the grid onshore.

ABB将提供24KV（千伏）的水下电缆，连接60个风力涡轮到一个150KV的海上变压器站，以及一条连接该海上变压器站和陆地电网的170KV的水下电缆。

ABB will also supply and install primary equipment in the offshore transformer station, including a 140 MVA (megavolt ampere) transformer, a 150 kV gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), and a 24 kV GIS.

ABB还将提供和安装该海上变压器站的首期设备，包括一个140MVA（兆伏安）的变压器，一个150KV的气体绝缘开关柜（GIS），以及一个24KV的气体绝缘开关柜。

Q7 will be the largest wind farm in the Dutch North Sea when it commences operation in 2007, about 30 kilometers from Amsterdam. Each turbine will generate about two MW (megawatts) of power, totaling about 435 gigawatt/hours per year - enough to power roughly 140,000 homes, and reduce CO2 emissions by 255,000 tons annually.

当Q7在2007年开始运营时，将成为离阿姆斯特丹约30公里的荷兰北海最大的风力发电场。每个风力涡轮将产生大约2兆瓦特的电力，每年发电总量约达4,350亿瓦特/小时，足够供应大约140,000个家庭，以及每年可以减少255,000吨二氧化碳的排放量。

The contract includes a study to help ensure the project complies with Dutch grid codes. The Dutch government is aiming for offshore wind power production of 6,000 megawatts (MW) by 2020.

合同包括了一份帮助保障该项目遵守荷兰电网代码的研究。荷兰政府计划到2020年海上风力发电量达6,000兆瓦特。

Europe’s installed wind power capacity of 40,500 MW is 69 percent of world’s total generated wind power. Wind power capacity in Europe grew by 18 percent in 2005, and provides nearly 3 percent of the EU’s electricity consumption in an average wind year.

欧洲安装的40,500MW风力发电量占全球风力发电总量的69% 。欧洲的风力发电量在2005年增长了18%，在一个平均风量年里，提供了欧洲电力消费总量的近3% 。

New installed capacity in Europe during 2005 was led by Germany (1,808 MW), Spain (1,764 MW) and Portugal (500 MW). Wind energy is expected to supply more than one fifth of Europe’s power needs by 2030.

2005年欧洲新安装容量最大的国家分别为德国（1,808 MW)、西班牙(1,764 MW)以及葡萄牙(500 MW)。风力发电量预计到2030年供应着超过五分之一的欧洲电力需求量。
