ABB turns wind into power in Quebec

ABB幫助魁北克風力發電

2006-03-20 - Having completed work on a Quebec wind farm in March 2005, ABB says it plans to be a major player in ongoing plans to turn Canada’s wind resources into useable electric power.

2006-03-20 - 在 2005 年三月完成了一個魁北克風力發電場建設的工作之後, ABB宣布將繼續參與正在進行中的加拿大風力資源變成可使用的電力計劃。

The 54-megawatt (MW) Mont Miller wind farm feeds electricity to more than 15,000 homes in the Gaspésie region of Quebec while, “contributing to clean and renewable energy and the diversification of power generation facilities," said Quebec Minister of Natural Resources and Wildlife, Pierre Corbeil.

這個54 兆瓦 (MW) 的Mont Miller風力發電場提供了魁北克Gaspésie地區超過 15,000個家庭的電力需求。同時

，正如國家資源和野生動植物魁北克部長Pierre Corbeil所說的那樣：“有助於清潔的新能源和發電設備的多元化。”

ABB is the world's leading supplier of electrical products and solutions to the wind power industry, including tower-to-grid power connections that meet the requirements and regulations of utilities like Hydro Quebec. At Mont Miller, production is forecast at more than 195,000 MW/hours per year.

ABB是世界領先的風力發電工業電力產品和解決方案的供應者，包括符合例如魁北克水電站的要求和規則的塔網式的電力連接.  Mont Miller電廠預計每年發電量超過 195,000 MW/ 小時。

ABB supplies all electrical components and infrastructure for converting the wind tower baldes' rotational energy into electricity - generators and motors, low and medium voltage drives, medium voltage switchgear, transformers, low voltage products, control and protection units, electrical substations and converters that correct the voltage of wind-created electricity, so that it can join the main power distribution grid.

ABB將提供所有的電力設備和基礎建設用於將風塔轉動產生的能量轉化為電能這些設備包括：發fa電dian機ji和he發fa動dong機ji，低di中zhong壓ya驅qu動dong

ABB designed, engineered and built all facilities needed to interconnect 30 Vestas wind turbines, including a substation, underground cables and a 22-kilometer access road. "We were very pleased with the ABB contribution to the Mont Miller project,” said Duncan Low of Northland Power’s Co-generation Associates, who developed the project with 3CI. “ABB managed the construction of the substation and the installation of the 34.5kV underground cables in extremely challenging conditions during the winter and to date we have not experienced any problems with the equipment,” added Low: “We hope to be able to work with ABB on other wind projects in the future.”

ABB設計
、管理和建造相連 30個 Vestas 發電風車所需要的所有設備，包括一個變電站，地下電纜和一個 22 公裏長的通道。與3 CI 共同開發這個項目的來自北部電力協調協會的Duncan Low指出：“我們對ABB能參與Mont Miller項目的建設感到非常高興。ABB完成了變電站的建設，而且在冬天期間在極端挑戰性的情況安裝了34.5kV地下電纜。到目前為止
，這些設備還沒出過任何問題。我們希望在將來仍然可以和ABB在其他風力發電項目開展合作。”

The Vestas wind towers are 80 meters tall at the hub, with three blades each 40 meters long. Nominal rotation speed is 18 revolutions per minute, and each tower can produce 1.8 MW.

Vestas 風塔最高 大80 公尺，由三個長 40 公尺風葉組成.
，平均旋轉速度是每分鍾 18 轉，而且每個塔能生產 1.8 MW的電量。

The future of Canadian wind power

加拿大風力發電前景

ABB is already carving that future role; Canadian wind-energy development is poised for growth fueled by government tax credits, a favorable regulatory climate and wind resources that are among the best in the world. The Gaspésie region, for example, has recorded average daily wind speeds of over 9.5 meters per second in recent winter peak seasons.

ABB正在開創未來的角色。加拿大的風能源開發因政府的課稅減免而發展很快
，有利的調節氣候和風力資源更是世界上最好的。例如
，在Gaspésie地區
，在近幾個冬季測得平均日風速超過9.5米/每秒。

“This was our first wind project in Canada,” said Jean Guay, ABB's vice president of sales and marketing for power products and systems, “but it won’t be our last. We look forward to helping develop more of the country’s wind resources.”

ABB電力產品和係統市場銷售部副總裁Jean Guay說：“這是我們在加拿大的第一個風力項目

，但不是最後一個。我們期待著幫助這個國家開發更多的風力資源。”

A 14-fold increase in Canada’s wind power is projected by 2013, to a capacity of 8,000 MW from 570 MW. Studies suggest the country could meet 20 percent of its electricity needs by readily-developable wind resources, but it produces only 0.3 percent of electricity by wind today. A proposed increase to 8,000 MW would bump that percentage to about 4.0 percent.

到2013年，加拿大的風力發電量將從現在的570 MW增加14倍
，達到8,000 MW每年。研究表明，加拿大正在逐步發展的風力發電量將可以滿足全國20%的用電總量，但目前這個數字僅是0.3% 。而增加到8,000 MW的時候將使這個數字大概達到4% 。

By contrast, wind energy accounts for 18 percent of total electricity production in Denmark, and around six percent in Spain and Germany. In terms of installed wind power, Germany leads with about 17,000 megawatts of onshore wind capacity, out of a global installed capacity of about 50,000 megawatts. Spain is second, and the U.S. is number three.

相反地
，風力發電量在丹麥占 18% 的總電製造量, 在西班牙和德國占大約六個百分比. 根據安裝的風力電，德國因占全球 50,000MW陸上風力發電量中的大約 17,000MW而排在首位， 西班牙第二
，美國則第三。

The owner of the Gaspésie wind farm is "Energie Eolienne du Mont Miller s.e.c." with maintenance of the wind turbines presently performed under contract with Vestas.

Gaspésie風力發電廠的擁有者是 "Energie Eolienne du Mont Miller s.e.c." ，目前根據合同由Vestas負責對發電風車的維護。

Wind energy projects installed in Canada in 2005 included the Pubnico Point Windfarm in Nova Scotia, the Mont Copper and Mont Miller Windfarms in Quebec, the St.Leon Windfarm in Manitoba and the Centennial Windfarm in Saskatchewan. This year will see wind energy projects underway in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

2005 年在加拿大安裝的風力能源項目有新斯科舍省的Pubnico Point Windfarm，魁北克的Mont Copper和Mont Miller，曼尼托巴的St.Leon Windfarm和聖在薩斯卡萬的Centennial Windfarm。今jin年nian正zheng在zai開kai展zhan的de風feng力li能neng源yuan項xiang目mu地di點dian有you亞ya伯bo達da，薩sa斯si卡ka萬wan，曼man尼ni托tuo巴ba，安an大da略lve省sheng
