ABB wins $100 million substation orders in India
ABB is responsible for the design, supply, installation and commissioning of 765/400 kilovolt (kV) substations at Agra (Uttar Pradesh), Wardha (Maharashtra), Bilaspur and Seoni (both Madhya Pradesh), and of a 400/220 kV substation at Palakkad (Kerala). The projects are expected to be completed by 2011.
The equipment to be supplied includes a range of circuit breakers; current transformers and capacitor voltage transformers, used for monitoring current and operations; surge arrestors; protection systems; control and relay panels; as well as the latest substation automation.
The substation projects are part of Powergrid’s program to strengthen the national transmission grid and to enhance the inter-regional power transfer capacity to around 37,000 megawatts by 2012. An extensive 800kV and 1,200kV ultrahigh-voltage system is expected to form the backbone of the transmission network and facilitate the transfer of power across India.
