ABB supplies electrical equipment for Dutch combined-cycle power plant
 
ABB为荷兰联合循环电厂提供电气设备

Zurich, Switzerland, March 18, 2008 – ABB won a $150-million contract to provide power systems and grid connections for a natural gas and steam-turbine (combined-cycle) power plant to be built in the Netherlands.

瑞士苏黎世3月18日消息——ABB赢得了一份价值1亿5千万美元的合同，为一座荷兰将建的天然气和蒸汽涡轮机（联合循环）电厂提供电力系统和电网连接。

The new 1,300 megawatt (MW) Nuon Magnum power plant for the Dutch utility Nuon will be located in Eemshaven, in the province of Groningen, on the North Sea coast. It will feed electricity into the existing Dutch high-voltage grid and could supply power to around two million households.

这个荷兰电力Nuon公司新的1300兆瓦Nuon Magnum电厂将位于北海岸Groningen省的Eemshaven。它的电力将输入荷兰现有的高压电网中，可为大约两百万户家庭提供电力。

“ABB has world-class expertise in the power generation sector,” said Peter Leupp, head of ABB’s Power Systems division. “Our innovative technology will ensure that this power plant will be one of the most energy efficient in the world.”

ABB电力系统部主管Peter Leupp表示：“ABB在发电领域拥有世界一流的专业知识。我们的创新技术将确保这个电厂成为世界上最节能的电厂之一。”

Initially, the combined cycles will be fired with natural gas. At a later date, Nuon aims to convert the power plant to a fully integrated gasification combined-cycle plant, accommodating carbon capture technologies. The gasifier will convert coal and biomass into syngas, a mixture of CO, CO2 and hydrogen, which will be used to fuel the combined-cycle power plant.

一开始，联合循环将利用天然气燃烧。稍后一段时间，Nuon计划将电厂转换成一个完全集成气化的联合循环电厂，以适应碳捕获技术。气化炉将把煤和生物燃料转换成合成气，一种一氧化碳、二氧化碳和氢气的混合气，用作联合循环电厂的燃料。

The new plant will consist of three units, each producing about 430 MW. The power plant is scheduled to go on line in early 2011. ABB’s scope of supply includes electrical components for the auxiliary power supply systems, a 380-kilovolt (kV) high-voltage substation and the switchgear building. ABB will also supply 380-kV cables, transformers, generator breakers, medium- and low-voltage switchgear, emergency-power diesel sets, batteries and communication systems, as well as engineering, installation, commissioning and training.

该新电厂将包括三个电机组，每个电机组生产大约430兆瓦。电厂计划在2011年初完工。ABB的供应范围包括用于辅助供电系统的电气元件，一个380千伏高压变电站和开关设备建筑。ABB还将提供380千伏电缆，变压器，发电机断路器，中、低压开关设备，应急救援大功率柴油机，电池和通信系统，以及施工、安装、调试和培训。

A combined cycle power plant generates electricity with a gas turbine, and uses waste heat from this process to create steam and generate additional electricity with a steam turbine, enhancing power generation efficiency.

联合循环电厂利用燃气轮机发电，并利用这个过程中的余热产生蒸气，通过蒸汽涡轮机产生更多的电力，从而提高发电效率。
