Enabling renewable energy transmission
ABB provides all sorts of supplies to enable the generation and transmission for remote hydro resources as well as generation and transmission from remote wind farms. ABB is also a large supplier of equipment for solar energy.

From yesterdays thinking to tomorrows reality
Bringing in the large scale renewable energies into our reality implies a new mindset. In the future we will use the cleanest way of energy generation, placed where the conditions for this energy is optimal, and transmit the energy to where we use it.
Tapping the solar power
An example of an ABB solution that taps the sun’s energy is from Spain. ABB is supplying a comprehensive power and automation solution for one of the world’s largest solar thermal power plants – a solution that includes uniquely accurate control equipment to enable the 1,248 parabolic troughs to capture maximum energy from the sun. The solution encompasses an extensive array of power and automation products and systems and includes control systems for the power plant and parabolic trough collectors, instrumentation, motors, drives and low voltage products, as well as substation power equipment for delivering the energy safely and reliably to the power grid. The plant provides 60,000 Spanish homes with clean energy and avoids 298,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions a year. More information about the solar power project.
Optimal wind power conditions enabled
Another example of on ABB solution enabling high scale renewable energy is the NordE.ON 1 transmission project commissioned in 2009. The worlds largest and most remote offshore wind farm is built outside Germany. ABB won the order to connect the wind farm to the German grid by an HVDC Light transmission, consisting of an offshore converter station built on a platform 125 km outside the German coast, the laying of the bundled pair of 125 km sea cable that continues in the 75 km land cable and the converter station built in Diele. The time frame for this large project is only two years from order to handing over to customer. More information about the wind power project.
