• If cars can do it, trains can do it too!

  Recycling the braking energy of a moving train is no more a matter of luxury. Rail transit authorities are challenged to increase energy efficiency of rail transportation and reduce its environmental impact. ABB’s ENVILINE energy management solutions offer up to 30 percent energy savings for direct current (DC) rail transportation. This innovative and holistic technology is presented at the 60^thUITP event in Geneva

• ABB provides a green solution to Pipavav shipyard

  ABB have provided a leading-edge solution consisting of four 250 kVA PCS100 SFCs (Static Frequency Converters) to the first and only “green shipyard” in India at Pipavav Shipyard Limited (PSL).

• Turn-key delivery of high power rectifiers to Tung Ho Steel, Taiwan

  What started as an inquiry for a single rectifier transformer replacement ended as an order for three complete rectifier systems to the full satisfaction of the customer.

• From Slovakia to China: Energy storage is taking off

  Stability of the grid has a special meaning in the renewable power generation sector. Storing energy from the grid and feeding it back when required offers a range of options that enhance the stability, performance, power quality and reliability of electricity grids integrating renewable sources. ABB and Prudent Energy have numerous references in this application field and their number keeps growing.

• Protecting Samsung’s mega-investment in China

  Samsung’s new $3 billion liquid crystal display production facility in Suzhou is the biggest single investment ever made by a South Korean company in China.
