High-voltage cable to connect grids for first time and stabilize power supplies

首次高压电缆连接电网，稳定电力供应

Zurich, Switzerland, May 11, 2007 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has secured a $54-million order for an underground and underwater power link that will connect Denmark’s existing grids for the first time and help stabilize power supplies.

瑞士苏黎世5月11日消息——全球领先的电力和自动化技术集团ABB公司确保了一份价值五千四百万美元的地下和水下电力连接订单，将首次连接丹麦现有的电网，而且帮助稳定电力供应。

ABB will supply the cable for the high-voltage direct current (HVDC) link that is scheduled for completion in 2010, creating the country’s first nationwide electricity network. The contract was awarded by Energinet.dk, the state-owned operator of the Danish gas and electricity transmission networks.

ABB将为这条计划于2010年完工的高压直流（HVDC)电线提供电缆，该条电线创造了该国的第一条全国性电力网络。这份合同是由丹麦气体和电力传输网络国有运营商Energinet.dk公司提供的。

“HVDC technology is an environmentally friendly way to bring stability to the grid,” said Peter Leupp, head of ABB's Power Systems division. “The numerous HVDC links in Northern Europe – many of them built by ABB – helped protect the region from last year’s major blackout in Europe.”

ABB电力系统部主管Peter Leupp表示：“HVDC技术是一项对环境无不良影响的可以为电网带来稳定性的技术。在北欧，众多HVDC电线——其中许多都是由ABB建设的——帮助保护该地区免受了去年欧洲大停电的影响。”

The 58-kilometer power link with a capacity of 600 megawatts will run underwater for 32 kilometers and underground for the rest of the stretch. It will stabilize power supplies on both sides of the strait that divides the two halves of the grid.

这条58千米长、600兆瓦容量的电线将有32千米位于水下，其余则位于地下。它将稳定把电网分成两半的海峡两岸的电力供应。

The cable will connect Denmark’s western grid, which is already linked to the German network, to the country’s eastern grid, which has an electricity partnership with Sweden. This will create a national electricity network for the first time in Danish history.

这条电缆将把丹麦已经和德国电网连接的西部电网，与该国跟瑞典有电力合作的东部电网连接。这将是丹麦历史上首次建成的一条全国性电力网络。

ABB pioneered HVDC technology in the 1950s and its projects include the world’s longest land cable, the 180-km Murraylink in Australia, and the world’s longest underwater high-voltage cable that is currently under construction to link Norway and the Netherlands.

ABB在二十世纪五十年代开创了HVDC技术，其项目包括世界最长的陆地电缆：澳大利亚的180千米长的墨累河连接网（Murraylink），以及世界最长的水下高压电缆，就是目前正在建设中的挪威——荷兰线。
