ABB wins Rs 295 cr 1200 MW power plant order

MUMBAI: ABB India has won orders worth Rs 295 crore to provide power solutions to JSW Energy for its upcoming 4 x 300 MW thermal power plant at Ratnagiri, Maharashtra. The orders are for a range of power solutions including, electrical balance of plant, 400kv gas insulated switchgear (GIS) substation and generator transformers.

ABB's solutions for the project comprise several leading edge power technologies for improved system efficiency. The modular eBoP solution for 300MW generating units will provide optimized and integrated solutions for complete plant electricals including shunt reactors, bus ducts, control and relay panels, MV and LT switchgear, other auxiliary systems and four 20kV generator circuit breakers (6 CD), thus providing a further boost towards GCB scheme usages by thermal power plants in India.

The 400kv G1S substation will provide substantial space saving due to 113 compact designs. With all live parts enclosed and protected against negative influences the gas insulated switchgear ensures enhanced operational reliability and safety.

ABB's scope of delivery also includes 20/420 KV generators. ABB's transformers are manufactured for high reliability, reduced life cycle costs and optimized electrical design for minimized losses. JSW will feed the power produced through the power plant into the country's western grid.
