ABB turns wind into power in Quebec

ABB幫助魁北克風(fēng)力發(fā)電

2006-03-20 - Having completed work on a Quebec wind farm in March 2005, ABB says it plans to be a major player in ongoing plans to turn Canada’s wind resources into useable electric power.

2006-03-20 - 在 2005 年三月完成了一個(gè)魁北克風(fēng)力發(fā)電場(chǎng)建設(shè)的工作之后, ABB宣布將繼續(xù)參與正在進(jìn)行中的加拿大風(fēng)力資源變成可使用的電力計(jì)劃。

The 54-megawatt (MW) Mont Miller wind farm feeds electricity to more than 15,000 homes in the Gaspésie region of Quebec while, “contributing to clean and renewable energy and the diversification of power generation facilities," said Quebec Minister of Natural Resources and Wildlife, Pierre Corbeil.

這個(gè)54 兆瓦 (MW) 的Mont Miller風(fēng)力發(fā)電場(chǎng)提供了魁北克Gaspésie地區(qū)超過 15,000個(gè)家庭的電力需求。同時(shí)，正如國(guó)家資源和野生動(dòng)植物魁北克部長(zhǎng)Pierre Corbeil所說的那樣：“有助于清潔的新能源和發(fā)電設(shè)備的多元化?！?/SPAN>

ABB is the world's leading supplier of electrical products and solutions to the wind power industry, including tower-to-grid power connections that meet the requirements and regulations of utilities like Hydro Quebec. At Mont Miller, production is forecast at more than 195,000 MW/hours per year.

ABB是世界領(lǐng)先的風(fēng)力發(fā)電工業(yè)電力產(chǎn)品和解決方案的供應(yīng)者，包括符合例如魁北克水電站的要求和規(guī)則的塔網(wǎng)式的電力連接.  Mont Miller電廠預(yù)計(jì)每年發(fā)電量超過 195,000 MW/ 小時(shí)。

ABB supplies all electrical components and infrastructure for converting the wind tower baldes' rotational energy into electricity - generators and motors, low and medium voltage drives, medium voltage switchgear, transformers, low voltage products, control and protection units, electrical substations and converters that correct the voltage of wind-created electricity, so that it can join the main power distribution grid.

ABB將提供所有的電力設(shè)備和基礎(chǔ)建設(shè)用于將風(fēng)塔轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)產(chǎn)生的能量轉(zhuǎn)化為電能這些設(shè)備包括：發(fā)電機(jī)和發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)，低中壓驅(qū)動(dòng)，中壓開關(guān)，變壓器，低壓產(chǎn)品，控制和保護(hù)裝置，變電站以及電壓轉(zhuǎn)換器。這些設(shè)備用于調(diào)整風(fēng)力所發(fā)電的電壓，使得其能連到主要的電力輸送網(wǎng)中。

ABB designed, engineered and built all facilities needed to interconnect 30 Vestas wind turbines, including a substation, underground cables and a 22-kilometer access road. "We were very pleased with the ABB contribution to the Mont Miller project,” said Duncan Low of Northland Power’s Co-generation Associates, who developed the project with 3CI. “ABB managed the construction of the substation and the installation of the 34.5kV underground cables in extremely challenging conditions during the winter and to date we have not experienced any problems with the equipment,” added Low: “We hope to be able to work with ABB on other wind projects in the future.”

ABB設(shè)計(jì)、管理和建造相連 30個(gè) Vestas 發(fā)電風(fēng)車所需要的所有設(shè)備，包括一個(gè)變電站，地下電纜和一個(gè) 22 公里長(zhǎng)的通道。與3 CI 共同開發(fā)這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的來自北部電力協(xié)調(diào)協(xié)會(huì)的Duncan Low指出：“我們對(duì)ABB能參與Mont Miller項(xiàng)目的建設(shè)感到非常高興。ABB完成了變電站的建設(shè)，而且在冬天期間在極端挑戰(zhàn)性的情況安裝了34.5kV地下電纜。到目前為止，這些設(shè)備還沒出過任何問題。我們希望在將來仍然可以和ABB在其他風(fēng)力發(fā)電項(xiàng)目開展合作?！?/SPAN>

The Vestas wind towers are 80 meters tall at the hub, with three blades each 40 meters long. Nominal rotation speed is 18 revolutions per minute, and each tower can produce 1.8 MW.

Vestas 風(fēng)塔最高 大80 公尺，由三個(gè)長(zhǎng) 40 公尺風(fēng)葉組成.，平均旋轉(zhuǎn)速度是每分鐘 18 轉(zhuǎn)，而且每個(gè)塔能生產(chǎn) 1.8 MW的電量。

The future of Canadian wind power

加拿大風(fēng)力發(fā)電前景

ABB is already carving that future role; Canadian wind-energy development is poised for growth fueled by government tax credits, a favorable regulatory climate and wind resources that are among the best in the world. The Gaspésie region, for example, has recorded average daily wind speeds of over 9.5 meters per second in recent winter peak seasons.

ABB正在開創(chuàng)未來的角色。加拿大的風(fēng)能源開發(fā)因政府的課稅減免而發(fā)展很快，有利的調(diào)節(jié)氣候和風(fēng)力資源更是世界上最好的。例如，在Gaspésie地區(qū)，在近幾個(gè)冬季測(cè)得平均日風(fēng)速超過9.5米/每秒。

“This was our first wind project in Canada,” said Jean Guay, ABB's vice president of sales and marketing for power products and systems, “but it won’t be our last. We look forward to helping develop more of the country’s wind resources.”

ABB電力產(chǎn)品和系統(tǒng)市場(chǎng)銷售部副總裁Jean Guay說：“這是我們?cè)诩幽么蟮牡谝粋€(gè)風(fēng)力項(xiàng)目，但不是最后一個(gè)。我們期待著幫助這個(gè)國(guó)家開發(fā)更多的風(fēng)力資源?！?/SPAN>

A 14-fold increase in Canada’s wind power is projected by 2013, to a capacity of 8,000 MW from 570 MW. Studies suggest the country could meet 20 percent of its electricity needs by readily-developable wind resources, but it produces only 0.3 percent of electricity by wind today. A proposed increase to 8,000 MW would bump that percentage to about 4.0 percent.

到2013年，加拿大的風(fēng)力發(fā)電量將從現(xiàn)在的570 MW增加14倍，達(dá)到8,000 MW每年。研究表明，加拿大正在逐步發(fā)展的風(fēng)力發(fā)電量將可以滿足全國(guó)20%的用電總量，但目前這個(gè)數(shù)字僅是0.3% 。而增加到8,000 MW的時(shí)候?qū)⑹惯@個(gè)數(shù)字大概達(dá)到4% 。

By contrast, wind energy accounts for 18 percent of total electricity production in Denmark, and around six percent in Spain and Germany. In terms of installed wind power, Germany leads with about 17,000 megawatts of onshore wind capacity, out of a global installed capacity of about 50,000 megawatts. Spain is second, and the U.S. is number three.

相反地，風(fēng)力發(fā)電量在丹麥占 18% 的總電制造量, 在西班牙和德國(guó)占大約六個(gè)百分比. 根據(jù)安裝的風(fēng)力電，德國(guó)因占全球 50,000MW陸上風(fēng)力發(fā)電量中的大約 17,000MW而排在首位， 西班牙第二，美國(guó)則第三。

The owner of the Gaspésie wind farm is "Energie Eolienne du Mont Miller s.e.c." with maintenance of the wind turbines presently performed under contract with Vestas.

Gaspésie風(fēng)力發(fā)電廠的擁有者是 "Energie Eolienne du Mont Miller s.e.c." ，目前根據(jù)合同由Vestas負(fù)責(zé)對(duì)發(fā)電風(fēng)車的維護(hù)。

Wind energy projects installed in Canada in 2005 included the Pubnico Point Windfarm in Nova Scotia, the Mont Copper and Mont Miller Windfarms in Quebec, the St.Leon Windfarm in Manitoba and the Centennial Windfarm in Saskatchewan. This year will see wind energy projects underway in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

2005 年在加拿大安裝的風(fēng)力能源項(xiàng)目有新斯科舍省的Pubnico Point Windfarm，魁北克的Mont Copper和Mont Miller，曼尼托巴的St.Leon Windfarm和圣在薩斯卡萬的Centennial Windfarm。今年正在開展的風(fēng)力能源項(xiàng)目地點(diǎn)有亞伯達(dá)，薩斯卡萬，曼尼托巴，安大略省，魁北克，新布蘭斯維克，新斯科舍省和愛德華王子島。
