ABB delivers world’s most powerful traction frequency converter

ABB交付全球最强大的牵引变频器

Zurich, Switzerland, Sept. 22, 2014 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has delivered the world’s most powerful traction frequency converter system to E.ON, the leading German utility. The converter station located at the Datteln railway hub, is capable of supplying up to 25 percent of the power required by the German railways.

瑞士苏黎世，2014年9月22日——领先的电力和自动化技术集团ABB为德国领先的电力公司意昂（E.ON）交付了全球最强大的牵引变频器系统。该换流站位于Datteln铁路枢纽，能够提供德国铁路所需电力的25％。

Rated at 413 megawatts (MW) and equipped with the most advanced power electronics, the system efficiently converts electricity from the country’s three-phase high-voltage grid with a rated frequency of 50 Hertz (Hz) to the 16.7 Hz required by the single-phase 110 kV (kilovolt) grid of Deutsche Bahn.

该系统额定功率为413兆瓦（MW），并配备了最先进的电力电子技术，能有效地将电力从国家额定频率为50赫兹（Hz）的三相高压电网转换为德国铁路单相110千伏电网所需的16.7赫兹。

“This is a prestigious project that deploys ABB’s state-of-the-art power conversion technology,” said Oleg Aleinikov, head of ABB’s Substations business, a part of the company’s Power Systems division. “Power electronics are playing a key role in driving efficiency and reliability across many key sectors like rail, and ABB is at the forefront of this development.”

ABB电力系统部变电站业务负责人Oleg Aleinikov 表示：“该项目声名显著，部署了ABB最先进的电力转换技术。电力电子技术在推动诸多关键行业如铁路的效率和可靠性方面有着关键的作用，而ABB处于这个领域发展的最前沿。”

As part of the turnkey contract, ABB was responsible for the design, engineering, installation and commissioning of the system. Key components of the containerized solution include transformers and frequency converters as well as control and cooling systems.

作为交钥匙合同的一部分，ABB负责该系统的设计、工程、安装以及调试。整个解决方案的主要组件包括变压器和变频器，以及控制和冷却系统。

The system consists of four identical converter blocks to provide steady power supply. Designed to ensure exceptionally high levels of system availability and reliability, it enables maintenance work to be carried out on one of the converter blocks without compromising the conversion capacity of the entire plant.

该系统包括四个相同的转换器模块，以提供稳定的电力供应。为了确保系统极高的可用性和可靠性，其维修工作在任意一个转换模块即可进行，不会影响整个枢纽的转换能力。

ABB has a range of power and automation products and solutions for the rail industry and a vast global installed base. Increasing concern for the environment, rapid urbanization, the need to move more people and freight faster and volatile fuel prices make rail a strategic focus sector for the company.

ABB在铁路行业拥有一系列的电力和自动化产品，以及数量庞大的全球用户群解决方案。对环境的日益关注，快速的城市化，运载更多乘客和货物运输更快的需求，以及挥发性燃料的价格，这些因素促使铁路行业成为ABB的一个战略重点。
