2007-04-19本周ABB做客德國漢諾威展會成為了焦點，來自全球的來賓絡(luò)繹不絕。今天早晨，十位挪威記者被邀請參加了有導(dǎo)游帶領(lǐng)的招待會。 他們提供了公司所有產(chǎn)品概況，從電源產(chǎn)品和系統(tǒng)到自動化產(chǎn)品，電力自動化和機器人技術(shù)。ABB德國通信部總裁Klaus Treiche首先介紹了該公司節(jié)能技術(shù)。 隨著能源價格升高，業(yè)務(wù)發(fā)展受到降低二氧化碳排放的壓制，節(jié)能對客戶來說開始變得越來越重要。 記者來說尤其關(guān)注的是ABB公司展出的HVDC （高壓直流）照明技術(shù)的好處，該技術(shù)為距離北海70公里的Troll A海上天然氣平臺提供挪威大陸生產(chǎn)的節(jié)能電力。 一項開創(chuàng)性的工程 挪威石油公司Statoil每天生產(chǎn)一億立方米天然氣，滿足了歐洲天然氣10％的需求。ABB公司提供一個高壓電動機和一個最新型的連接到大陸電網(wǎng)的水下HVDC照明電纜，幫助Troll從挪威充足而價格便宜的水力發(fā)電獲得更多電力。 VHV電動機替代了鉆探平臺的石油驅(qū)動發(fā)電機和柴油機驅(qū)動的發(fā)電機，不僅節(jié)省了空間，并且每年減少Troll海上天然氣平臺23萬噸二氧化碳和230噸氧化氮的排放。 ABB公司的方案每年幫助Troll海上天然氣平臺的天然氣生產(chǎn)力提高2500萬立方米，引起了廣泛關(guān)注。 同樣獲得ABB專利的HVDC照明技術(shù)可以用于將海上風(fēng)力發(fā)電廠連接到陸地電網(wǎng)，自從歐洲宣布到2020年陸地20％的電力需求都由可再生能源提供以來，陸地電網(wǎng)對于歐洲尤為重要。 “我們相信這是唯一一項可以有效的將海上風(fēng)力發(fā)電廠連接到陸地電網(wǎng)的技術(shù)，”ABB德國電力技術(shù)營銷和通信部門總裁 Jochen Kreusel表示。 HVDC照明是一項用于地下電力傳輸?shù)匠鞘械貐^(qū)的理想技術(shù)，城市地區(qū)空間和城市計劃的限制使架空電纜傳輸電力不切實際，該技術(shù)也是連接臨近傳輸網(wǎng)絡(luò)以提高供電安全的最佳選擇。 此次參展展出的其他產(chǎn)品——ABB德國的自動化產(chǎn)品Andreas Keiger表明了ABB公司節(jié)能電機驅(qū)動器的廣泛應(yīng)用，這些設(shè)備用于多種應(yīng)用中的電機性能控制，從國內(nèi)洗衣機和停車場柵欄到報版輪轉(zhuǎn)機和工業(yè)提升系統(tǒng)。 特制效率 特制電機速度以滿足應(yīng)用提高了電機性能，降低了能源消耗，延長了電機工作壽命。沒有驅(qū)動器控制電機的停車場柵欄每天來回撞擊數(shù)次，其工作壽命將會很短。 此次招待會的亮點是與ABB公司的微型機器人下象棋的機會，該視覺機器人裝配SafeMove技術(shù)，這是一個允許機器人和人直接接觸的系統(tǒng)，將昂貴的受到約束的安全柵欄的需求降到了最低。 機器人執(zhí)行復(fù)雜的任務(wù)，比如識別和移動棋子，同時觀察其對手，如果人太接近則立刻停止。 雖然這是ABB公司研究項目的一個例子，并且在一段時間內(nèi)將不會投入生產(chǎn)，這個應(yīng)用將為生產(chǎn)線帶來基本的新生產(chǎn)理念。功能強大的機器人將能夠向相應(yīng)的人類展示強子，然后人類完成一個難以操作的任務(wù)。ABB正在與其合作伙伴和終端用戶合作將該SafeMove科技優(yōu)勢轉(zhuǎn)化為費用的節(jié)省，為其客戶操作服務(wù)。 該招待會對ABB公司所有產(chǎn)品做了優(yōu)秀的介紹，重點介紹了全部能源節(jié)約的潛能和生產(chǎn)力的提高。登錄網(wǎng)站：www.abb.com/energyefficiency查找更多ABB公司的節(jié)能方案信息。 original text [COLOR=#708090]International interest in ABB technology at Hanover Fair 2007-04-19 - ABB‘s stand at Hanover Fair in Germany this week has been the focus of much interest, with a continual stream of visitors from all over the world. This morning a group of 10 Norwegian journalists was treated to a guided tour of the exhibits. They provide an overview of the company‘s entire portfolio, from power products and systems to automation products, power automation and robotics. Klaus Treichel, head of communications for ABB Germany, began the tour of the stand with an introduction to ABB‘s energy efficient technologies. As energy prices rise and business comes under pressure to reduce CO2 emissions, energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important to customers. Of particular interest to the Norwegian journalists was a presentation about the benefits of ABB‘s HVDC （High-Voltage Direct Current） Light technology, which is providing energy-efficient power from the Norwegian mainland to the Troll A offshore natural gas platform 70 kilometers away in the North Sea. A groundbreaking project Norwegian oil company Statoil produces 100 million cubic meters of gas every day from Troll, meeting 10 percent of Europe‘s demand. ABB provided a Very High Voltage Motor and a state-of-the-art underwater HVDC Light cable link to the mainland grid which helps Troll draw power from Norway‘s abundant supplies of cheap and sustainable hydroelectric power. The VHV motor replaces the rig‘s gas- or diesel-driven generators and not only saves space, but reduces Troll‘s emissions by some 230,000 tons of CO2 and 230 tons of NOx every year. ABB‘s solutions have helped increase Troll‘s natural gas production by 25 million cubic meters per year, and attracted widespread interest. The same ABB-patented, HVDC-Light technology can be used to connect off-shore wind farms to onshore grids, an application of particular importance in Europe since the EU‘s announcement that 20 percent of the continent‘s power demands must be met by renewable sources by 2020. “We believe this is the only technology that can be used effectively to connect off-shore wind farms to the grid," said Jochen Kreusel, marketing and communications head of ABB‘s Power Technologies division in Germany. HVDC Light is also an ideal technology for delivering power underground to urban areas where space and planning constraints make overhead cable delivery impractical, and for linking adjacent transmission networks to improve the security of electricity supplies. Elsewhere in the stand, Andreas Keiger of ABB‘s Automation Products in Germany explained the broad range of applications for ABB‘s energy-saving motor drives. These devices are used to control the performance of motors in myriad appliances - from domestic washing machines and car park barriers to newspaper presses and industrial hoist systems. Tailor-made efficiency Tailoring a motor‘s speed to its application improves performance, reduces energy consumption and lengthens the machine‘s working life. A car park barrier without a drive to control its motor would not last long slamming up and down hundreds of times each day. The highlight of the tour was a chance to play chess with ABB‘s miniature robots. The robots are vision-guided and equipped with “SafeMove” technology, a system that allows robots and humans to interact directly, minimizing the need for expensive and restricting safety barriers. The robot carries out complex tasks like identifying and moving chess pieces while simultaneously watching its opponent, halting immediately if the human is too close. Although this is an example of an ABB research project and will not be available as a product for some time, the applications will bring radical new manufacturing concepts to production lines. Powerful robots will be able to present heavy work pieces to human counterparts who can then perform tasks that are harder to automate. ABB is working with partners and end users to convert the technological advantages of SafeMove into cost savings for its customers‘ operations. The tour provided an excellent introduction to ABB‘s portfolio, highlighting the potential for energy savings and enhanced productivity throughout.
