ABB switchgear first choice for Ergon Energy
ABB開關(guān)柜成為Ergon Energy公司首選
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 ——運營著世界上最大的配電網(wǎng)絡(luò)之一的澳大利亞Ergon Energy電廠選擇了ABB作為其中壓開關(guān)柜的獨家供應(yīng)商。產(chǎn)品的可靠性、高性能以及安全性高是ABB被選中的關(guān)鍵。
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.”
由昆士蘭州政府擁有的Ergon Energy 電廠負責向澳大利亞的第二大州配送電力，該州面積是法國國土面積的三倍，因此這個電廠形容其為一個“真正多樣化的地形風景畫，從最荒蕪最惡劣的地形到最敏感的都有"。
“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電廠表示：”為了應(yīng)付這些挑戰(zhàn)，我們一直在尋找世界級的電力配送技術(shù)。“作為這個進程的一部分，公司最近決定在國際和當?shù)毓?yīng)商之間選擇一家主要中壓開關(guān)柜的獨家供應(yīng)商。Ergon Energy最后選擇了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公司是根據(jù)一個項目選擇一家供應(yīng)商，但與固定一家供應(yīng)商簽訂合同以及相同的開關(guān)柜平臺所帶來的利益和節(jié)省也太明顯，讓人無法忽略。
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將為Ergon Energy 電廠的11千伏和22千伏配電系統(tǒng)以及33千伏中壓輸電系統(tǒng)提供UniGear ZS1 以及 ZS3.2 中壓開關(guān)柜。UniGear完全滿足了Ergon的性能、可靠性、安全要求，這些都是象昆士蘭州這樣大而且氣候多樣性的配電系統(tǒng)的關(guān)鍵因素。
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在全球的十個工廠生產(chǎn)UniGear 開關(guān)柜，包括在澳大利亞的工廠。UniGear平臺產(chǎn)品設(shè)計符合所有開關(guān)柜市場的要求，而且獨特地獲得了抵抗地震壓力和極端船舶震動應(yīng)用的認證。
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還選擇了ABB作為其襯墊安裝型變壓器的獨家供應(yīng)商。每年，Ergon Energy電廠其廣闊的配電網(wǎng)絡(luò)需要預計5千個的電桿安裝型配電變壓器，而且正在致力于提高可靠性和質(zhì)量，以及減少占設(shè)備費用最大之一的花費。
