New SCADA control system will improve power quality and reliability

新SCADA控制系统将改善电力质量和可靠性

Zurich, Switzerland, August 30, 2007 – ABB signed a $25 million contract with Kenya Power & Lighting Co (KPLC) to upgrade and expand the system that controls Kenya's power transmission network and the distribution network in the capital city of Nairobi.

瑞士苏黎世8月30日消息——ABB与肯尼亚电力和照明公司(KPLC)签署了一份价值两千五百万美元的合同，升级和扩建后者在首都城市内罗毕控制着肯尼亚的输电网络和配电网络系统。

ABB supplied the original SCADA/EMS System (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition/Energy Management System) 20 years ago and has also been the major supplier of utility communication equipment to KPLC over the last 30 years.

ABB在二十年前就提供了原始的SCADA/EMS 系统（监控和数据采集/电力管理系统），而且在过去的30年里也一直是肯尼亚电力和照明公司电力通信设备的主要供应商。

"We are very pleased to be able to continue to work with KPLC on improving the quality, reliability and security of the electricity supply in Kenya," said Peter Leupp, head of ABB's Power System division.

ABB电力系统部主管Peter Leupp表示：“我们很高兴可以一如既往地和肯尼亚电力和照明公司合作，改善肯尼亚电力供应的质量、可靠性以及安全性。”

The control system will comprise five control centers, in Nairobi and around the country, equipped with redundant computer systems and ABB Network Manager SCADA/EMS software for the operation, control, analysis and enhancement of the electrical network, and for power generation management. To enable the reliable operation of the control system, the centers will be linked to more than 90 substations and power stations by over 1300 km of OPGW (Optical Ground Wire), ABB FOX 515 multiplexers, ABB ETL 600 Digital Power Line Carrier (DPLC) and radio communications.

该控制系统将在内罗毕和全国各地包括五个控制中心，为电力网的运作、控制、分析和改善以及发电的管理配备有冗余计算机系统以及ABB网络管理器SCADA/EMS软件。为确保控制系统的可靠运行，这些中心将通过1300多千米的光纤复合地线、ABB FOX515多路器、ABB ETL 600 数字电力线载波机( DPLC )及无线电通讯，链接到90多个变电站和发电站。

Maintaining power delivery as load increases in the morning, keeping it within security limits during daily peaks, and managing load decreases at night are just some of the tasks the control system will perform. During unplanned disturbances, preparedness is vital in order to avoid large-scale outages, make rapid analysis and re-establish power supply.

控制系统将负责的一些任务就是在上午负荷增加的时候维持电力输送，在每日高峰时保持在安全限度内，以及管理晚上负荷的降低。在计划外干扰的时候，做好避免大规模停电的准备非常重要，可以快速分析，并重新确立电力供应。

Over the past 40 years, ABB has been selected for many of the world's most challenging energy management projects, delivering hundreds of installations.

过去40年间，ABB已经被许多世界上最有挑战性的电力管理项目选中，交付了数以百计的安装项目。
