The Long Case for ABB Ltd.
Jonathan Callahan submits: One exciting investment opportunity identified through a fundamental/earnings quality screen that I run periodically is ABB Ltd. ABB. ABB is a Swiss conglomerate that provides a wide range of products and services to the power and automation markets. A recent earnings warning from Siemens SI, another...
Performance Update: 10 Solid Clean Energy Co's to Buy On the Cheap
Tom Konrad AltEnergyStocks submits: Unlike my Ten Speculations for 2008, my Solid Clean Energy Companies series will be much more difficult to benchmark. The intent of the series was to list some "stocks to buy when you think we've hit bottom." Since I obviously don't...
Sustainable Energy Systems With HVDC Transmission
This paper gives information on the necessity of efficient electric transmission on electricity to make sustainable generation energy possible. HVDC differs from high voltage alternating current, HVAC that the voltage is not alternating 50 or 60 cycles per second but is constant. The advantage of HVDC is that long distance...
Power System Interconnections Using HVDC Links
There are many reasons for the interconnection of asynchronous power systems. This paper discusses these reasons and how this influences the choices involved in technology for the interconnection. Reasons for interconnecting power systems includes differences in demand daily or seasonal, generation versus load imbalances, optimization of generating capacity reserves, CO2...
HVDC Light Experiences Applicable for Power Transmission From Offshore Wind Power Parks
This paper elaborates usage of HVDC Light in Power transmission systems. HVDC Light is a transmission system that does not require any additional compensation, as this is inherent in the control of the converters. It will be therefore an excellent tool for wind power into the networks. The experiences gained...
Innovation in the Market: HVDC Light, the New Technology
This paper discusses about the HVDC Light transmission system and innovation involved in it. This new transmission and distribution technology, HVDC Light provides an important role to today's requirements on the network systems and opens up new opportunities for both investors and environmentalist alike. ABB was awarded a contract in...
System Approach on Designing an Offshore Windpower Grid Connection
This paper is a considerable part of planned offshore wind farms which is located far away from shore. Connecting them to the grid at the nearest possible point normally adds some more kilometers onshore to the distance of the wind farm to shore. Taking into account the main parameters power...
Voltage Source Converter Transmission Technologies - The Right Fit for the Application
This paper summarizes on the information about Voltage Source Converter technology. The VSC technology has been selected as the basis for several recent projects due to its controllability, compact modular design, ease of system interface and low environmental impact. This paper also describes about the rationale for selection of VSC...
Rural Electrification
This paper discusses about the wishes, to contribute to the economic of least developed countries by providing access to electricity to areas isolated from transmission grid. Rural Electrification projects compliant customer requirements by sub-transmission and distribution systems single and three phase schemes and distribution substations, financing, engineering, materials and equipment,...
Rural Electrification References
This presentation discusses the customer's need. Electric power supply into remote areas located far from the existent transmission network. ABB's response by turnkey 550 km overhead transmission line at 33 kV, turnkey 415 km overhead transmission line at 11 kV and turnkey 440 km low voltage lines along with the...
The Rhythm of Speed in Power the Rhythm of Speed in Power Systems
This paper gives details about the speed of the power system. The new system, already in operation, interlinks a region with an enormous hydroelectric potential to generate energy to the system that feeds the remainder of Brazil. The line brings together the substations in existence at the towns of Tucurui...
Access To Electricity - White Paper On ABB's Initiative For Access To Electricity
Access to electricity is a key enabler in the fight against poverty and a precursor for sustainable development. ABB focuses its contribution to common efforts on its Access to Electricity initiative. This is a multi-dimensional program where we work with partners from other industries, governments, non-governmental organizations, development aid and...
References Railway Electrification
This paper discusses about the customer's need in which Deutsche Bahn Energie requested a 110kV, 16,7 Hz Substation for a 120 MW Converter station for feeding energy out of the 50 Hz utility grid into its own 16,7 Hz railway grid on a space constrained-site. ABB's responses by supporting in...
Rehabilitation / Raising of Overhead-Line Concrete Poles
Concrete pole is not completely maintenance-free. In time, damages occur in form of cracks and flaking. If such damages are not repaired in good time, they put at risk the stability of concrete poles. Further, the industry needs higher operating and transmission voltage. Up to now, there was no solution...
Electrical Dimensioning
The presentation focuses on main steps of electrical design of Overhead Transmission Lines OHTL. The presentation starts with a Voltage level selection followed by conductor level selection. The presentation gives steps for evaluation of Corona, Radio and TV Interference (RIV,TVI), Audible Noise AN,Electrical clearances and choice of Insulator and Insulator...
Procurement & Sub-Contracting
This paper describes procurement and sub contracting. A project is a complex puzzle where each piece has its right collocation and plays a important role to reach the final shape. To work in the world market of Transmission Lines it is necessary to know the capabilities of suppliers and sub-contractors...
Line Route Survey and Tower Spotting
This paper shows a preliminary study and survey which has been done in advance by the Owner/Consultant Engineer in order to emphasize all possible existing and future obstructions which can interfere or compromise the project and construction of the new transmission line. In this case ABB shall investigate and collect...
Structural Design of Steel Latticed Towers
This document provides a presentation on the structural design of steel latticed towers. It describes the specific criteria and design approaches recommended for steel transmission towers. It also mentions that towers could be designed as self-supporting or as guyed towers. It recommends the following three basic tower definitions: suspension, strain,...
50 Years HVDC: ABB - From Pioneer to World Leader
This paper summarizes information on HVDC transmission from ABB. The Swedish State Power Board had placed an order for the world's first commercial high-voltage direct current HVDC transmission link, to be built between the Swedish mainland and the island of Gotland. Since the laying of that early 90 kilometers long,...
