Booked in the second quarter of 2008, the order is part of Kraftwerke Linth-Limmern’s (KLL) refurbishment and expansion plans for its installations at Tierfehd, which are due to be completed in 2011.
ABB will supply and install two gas-insulated switchgear substations, rated at 220kV and 50kV, along with air-insulated components and the complete substation automation system.
Peter Leupp, head of ABB’s power systems division, said: ABB’s technologies will help to stabilize the regional grid and make better use of the generation capacity available in Switzerland. It is a good example of how ABB can provide complete tailored solutions to meet customers needs and also support the use of renewable energy.
