ABB switchgear first choice for Ergon Energy

ABB开关柜成为Ergon Energy公司首选

2007-01-22 - Australian utility Ergon Energy, which operates one of the largest power distribution networks in the world, has made ABB its sole supplier of medium voltage switchgear. Product reliability, performance and safety were key.

2007-01-22 ——运营着世界上最大的配电网络之一的澳大利亚Ergon Energy电厂选择了ABB作为其中压开关柜的独家供应商。产品的可靠性、高性能以及安全性高是ABB被选中的关键。

Owned by the Queensland government, Ergon Energy distributes electricity to Australia’s second largest state – an area more than three times the size of France – that the utility describes as a “truly diverse landscape, ranging from the harshest, most demanding terrains to the most sensitive.”

由昆士兰州政府拥有的Ergon Energy 电厂负责向澳大利亚的第二大州配送电力，该州面积是法国国土面积的三倍，因此这个电厂形容其为一个“真正多样化的地形风貌，从最荒芜最恶劣的到最易损的地形都有"。

“To meet these challenges we are constantly looking for world-class electricity distribution technologies,” says Ergon Energy. As part of this process, the company recently decided to choose a single supplier of medium voltage primary switchgear from among international and local suppliers. Ergon Energy chose ABB.

Ergon Energy电厂表示：”为了应付这些挑战，我们一直在寻找世界级的电力配送技术。“作为这个进程的一部分，公司最近决定在国际和当地供应商之间选择一家主要中压开关柜的独家供应商。Ergon Energy最后选择了ABB。

Previously Ergon Energy had selected suppliers on a project by project basis, but the benefits and savings of contracting a single vendor and single switchgear platform were too compelling to ignore.

先前，Ergon Energy公司是根据一个项目选择一家供应商，但与固定一家供应商签订合同以及相同的开关柜平台所带来的利益和节省也太明显，让人无法忽略。

ABB will supply Ergon Energy with UniGear ZS1 and ZS3.2 medium voltage switchgear for the utility’s 11 kV and 22 kV distribution systems and 33 kV sub-transmission system. UniGear excelled in Ergon’s requirements for performance, reliability and safety – key factors in a distribution system as large and climatically diverse as Queensland.

ABB将为Ergon Energy 电厂的11千伏和22千伏配电系统以及33千伏中压输电系统提供UniGear ZS1 以及 ZS3.2 中压开关柜。UniGear完全满足了Ergon的性能、可靠性、安全要求，这些都是象昆士兰州这样大而且气候多样性的配电系统的关键因素。

ABB manufactures UniGear switchgear in ten factories worldwide, including Australia. The UniGear platform is designed to meet the switchgear requirements of all markets and is uniquely certified for withstanding seismic stress and the extreme vibrations of marine applications.

ABB在全球的十个工厂生产UniGear 开关柜，包括在澳大利亚的工厂。UniGear平台产品设计符合所有开关柜市场的要求，而且独特地获得了抵抗地震压力和极端船舶震动应用的认证。

Ergon Energy has also selected ABB to be the company’s sole supplier of pad-mounted transformers. The utility requires an estimated 5,000 pole-mounted distribution transformers a year for its extensive distribution network, and is seeking to improve reliability and quality as well as reduce expenditure on one of its largest sources of equipment outlay.

Ergon Energy还选择了ABB作为其衬垫安装型变压器的独家供应商。每年，Ergon Energy电厂其广阔的配电网络需要预计5千个的电杆安装型配电变压器，而且正在致力于提高可靠性和质量，以及减少占设备费用最大之一的花费。
