ABB wins $100 million contract with TVA

ABB贏得TVA 價(jià)值一億美元合同

Biggest U.S. utility signs five-year agreement for transformers, services

與美國最大的發(fā)電廠簽署了五年的變壓器和服務(wù)協(xié)議

Zurich, Switzerland, May 22, 2006 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, said today it has signed a five-year accord worth more than $100 million to provide the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) with transformers and services.

瑞士蘇黎世5月22日消息—領(lǐng)先的電力和自動(dòng)化技術(shù)集團(tuán)ABB公司今天宣布與田納西流域管理局（TVA）簽署了一份價(jià)值超過一億美元的五年協(xié)議，為TVA提供變壓器及其服務(wù)。

ABB will supply the TVA, which is the largest power utility in the U.S. by revenue, with all transformers rated 230 kilovolts (kV) and above. The TVA also has an option to renew the contract for an additional five years.

ABB將為TVA這個(gè)美國年收入最大的發(fā)電廠提供額定功率230KV及以上的變壓器。TVA還擁有續(xù)簽另外五年合約的選擇權(quán)。

“This contract is really an extension of the excellent relationship we’ve had with TVA over the years,” said Bernhard Jucker, head of ABB’s Power Products division. “We’re as familiar with their procedures and internal processes as we are with the equipment in their system.”

ABB電力產(chǎn)品部主管Bernhard Jucker表示：“這份合同是我們?cè)谶^去幾年里與TVA建立的良好關(guān)系的一個(gè)延伸。我們?yōu)樗麄兊南到y(tǒng)提供設(shè)備，所以我們對(duì)他們的程序和內(nèi)部過程非常了解。”

ABB’s long history with the TVA dates back to the utility’s founding. ABB owns the technical drawings to 75 percent of the equipment in the TVA high-voltage system, and even operates a service center in Nashville that deals almost exclusively with TVA equipment.

ABB與TVA悠久的合作歷史可以追溯到發(fā)電廠的建立之時(shí)。ABB為TVA的高壓系統(tǒng)中的75%的設(shè)備提供技術(shù)規(guī)劃，甚至還在納什維爾建立了一個(gè)服務(wù)中心，業(yè)務(wù)幾乎全部是為TVA的設(shè)備提供服務(wù)的。

ABB has won orders worth more than $50 million annually from the TVA in the past seven years, including a similar contract signed in 1999 and a five-year accord reached in 2002 that covers extra-high-voltage transformers up to 735kV.

ABB在過去的七年間每年都獲得TVA價(jià)值超過五千萬美元的訂單，包括一個(gè)1999年簽署的類似合同以及一份年限到2002年的功率高達(dá)735KV的超高壓變壓器合同。

The latest agreement gives TVA reserved production slots at several ABB transformer factories around the world, assuring consistent quality and the fastest delivery time in the industry. It also includes outfitting new and existing TVA transformers with ABB’s TEC (transformer electronic control) monitoring system to support asset management and life extension efforts.

該最新的協(xié)議使得TVA可以從ABB在全世界的幾個(gè)變壓器工廠預(yù)訂產(chǎn)品，從而確保了產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量和業(yè)界最快的交付時(shí)間。它同樣包含為新的和現(xiàn)有的TVA變壓器配備ABB的TEC（變壓器電子控制）監(jiān)測(cè)系統(tǒng)，以支持資產(chǎn)管理和延長(zhǎng)產(chǎn)品使用壽命。

Service is also a key component of this agreement. ABB’s Nashville service center provides TVA with immediate access to experts on everything from transformers to high voltage circuit breakers, medium and low-voltage switchgear, and distribution protection and control systems.

服務(wù)同樣也是該協(xié)議的一個(gè)重要組成部分。ABB的納什維爾服務(wù)中心為TVA提供即時(shí)的專家服務(wù)，從變壓器到高壓電路斷路器、中低壓開關(guān)設(shè)備、輸電保護(hù)以及控制系統(tǒng)的一切服務(wù)。
