   04 Mar, 2022, 5:30 am
   
   ABB’s new SureWave Static Frequency Converter ensures the static, seamless and automated transfer of power from a ship’s onboard generator to an onshore power source, removing the need to use diesel burning generators when in port. Switching to this next generation of static conversion technology will enable ship owners to avoid fines and taxes imposed for not using shore power once berthed.
   
   ABB has engineered SureWave SFC to be 50 percent smaller than previous models and for added flexibility, it can be installed on the marine vessel or port side. To further increase energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, ABB’s SureWave can be paralleled or connected to renewable energy sources like PV or wind farms. As frequency and voltage can vary between ports around the world, SureWave SFC allows more flexibility when connecting 60 Hz powered equipment to a 50 Hz supply network or 50 Hz powered equipment to a 60 Hz supply network. In addition, using a power module smart enough to operate as an inverter or rectifier, makes maintenance, stocking, and servicing stress free.
   
   ABB’s SureWave is accredited with the PEP ecopassport, an assessment aligned with the UN sustainability program and ISO 14025 and ISO 14040 to verify a product’s environmental performance. The accreditation considers materials, production, transportation, usage, and end of life. ABB’s SureWave scored class-leading results across its lifecycle due to its superior efficiency and design.
   
   Thanks to its modular design, SureWave SFC from ABB can cover a variety of power sizes. Scalable from 250 kVA up to 2.25 MVA for a single system, it is the ideal solution for small to medium port and ship-yard installations, as well as a range of marine vessels ranging from super yachts to super tankers. If required, SureWave SFC can also support higher loads up to 10 MVA with multiple system parallel connections. SureWave SFC also provides market leading overload and fault clearing capabilities and low distortion. Distortion caused by unoptimized power supplies can result in harmonics, unbalance, and low power factor, which lead to higher electricity bills and potential damage to electrical infrastructure.

   ABB Ensures Grid Stability as Faroe Islands pivot to Green Energy
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   07 Mar, 2022, 5:30 am
   
   ABB is working with SEV, the main electrical power producer and distributor for the Faroe Islands, to deliver innovative synchronous condenser technology that will stabilize its power grid as renewable generation replaces fossil-fueled plant. The first SC unit is currently being commissioned on the island of Suðuroy. SEV has now placed an order for a similar unit to be located at Sund on Streymoy, the Faroes’ largest and most populous island.
   
   Switching off the existing diesel-fueled generating plant could impact the stability of SEV’s grid. This is because the rotating equipment provides vital “spinning inertia” that keeps the system in balance. A particular challenge is that there are no power cables connecting the Faroe Islands to neighboring countries so its grid is unable to use external support. To tackle this challenge, ABB is working with SEV to deliver innovative technology in the form of synchronous condensers. An SC is a rotating electrical machine that provides vital services to strengthen a power system and keep it stable as both loads and renewable energy production change. These services include inertia, fault level and reactive power for voltage regulation.

   ABB to Electrify 2 Green Hydrogen Plants North America
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   15 Mar, 2022, 5:30 am
   
   ABB has been awarded two major contracts by Plug Power Inc, a leading provider of turnkey solutions for the global green hydrogen economy, to provide the electrical systems for two new hydrogen plants in North America, set to collectively produce 60 tons of green hydrogen per day. Green hydrogen is produced with renewable energy sources and emits zero carbon when used as fuel. The first plant, Project Gateway, in Genesee County, New York, will be North America’s largest green hydrogen production facility, providing the northeastern US daily with 45 metric tons of green liquid hydrogen, which contains as much energy as 126 tons of gasoline and equates to 14,000 tons of CO2 per year.
   
   ABB will provide the full electrical system encased in an ABB eHouse solution – a prefabricated, walk-in, modular outdoor substation hosting a range of electrical, automation and ancillary equipment that provides the site and process power. ABB’s prefabricated and pre-tested solution reduces both the costs and time needed for installation and commissioning.
   
   ABB will also supply gas and air insulated switchgear, low voltage motor control centers, along with low voltage variable speed drives for auxiliary applications. Medium voltage VSDs will be applied to multiple motors in sync bypass mode. Used as compressor starters, these drives allow smooth process control, and reduce stress to equipment and utility loads by limiting inrush current and power demand during the process start. The plant will use Plug Power’s state-of-the-art proton exchange membrane electrolyzers to split water into hydrogen and oxygen through an electrochemical process, using clean New York hydropower.
   
   With a similar scope of work, Plug Power’s second plant, Peachtree, in Camden County, Georgia, will produce 15 tons of liquid green hydrogen per day using 100 percent renewable energy, serving customers in the southeastern US.
   
   The hydrogen produced will be used for logistics and transportation sectors, enabling users to replace fossil fuels in on-road applications such as heavy-duty freight vehicles and forklifts.

   ABB Technology to Optimize Production at Thyssenkrupp Duisburg
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   08 Apr, 2022, 6:07 am
   
   ABB has been awarded a major contract by Primetals Technologies to help optimize production at thyssenkrupp Steel Europe’s Duisburg-Bruckhausen plant in Germany, using the unique and proprietary ABB Flow Control Mold electromagnetic stirring and braking technology for higher quality steel produced faster and at lower cost. The construction of a casting rolling mill and the upgrade of an existing continuous casting plant is part of a wider project awarded to Primetals Technologies, a global leader in plant engineering for the metals industry. It is part of thyssenkrupp Steel’s Strategy 20-30 which aims to optimize operations for the requirements of automotive customers seeking improved surfaces, thinner and high-performance steels to meet crash safety standards in the growing e-mobility market.
   
   By using FC Mold G3 (generation 3), thyssenkrupp can prevent gas bubbles and impurities from becoming trapped in the solidifying steel as the technology will offer simultaneous stirring and braking from one fixed position on the caster. In continuous slab casting, conditions in the meniscus area of the solidifying steel are crucial to determining end-product quality and have a major impact on productivity and overall operating costs. Integrated with the caster, FC Mold uses electromagnetic fields to control meniscus flow speed and fluctuations. It enables improved process control and increased resource efficiency, requires very little maintenance and typically has a long lifespan.
   
   With an installed base at 40 sites worldwide, performance improvements delivered by FC Mold technology are well-proven. Typically, these include 50 percent reduction in defects and up to 80 percent reduction in rejected or downgraded product. In addition, FC Mold can allow for a higher casting speed.

   ABB’s Hoists for Emissions Reduction at OZ Minerals
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   12 Apr, 2022, 6:30 am
   
   ABB has won a large order for its highest payload Koepe production hoist, associated infrastructure, and safety systems from Australian mining company OZ Minerals. The contract will help to ensure efficient processing performance and a long service life as part of an ongoing $400 million expansion at the Prominent Hill mine in South Australia. The hoist, which will be designed and supplied by ABB, has a capacity of 39,400kg and the strongest drivetrain that ABB has ever installed in Australia. ABB specialists will also supervise installation and commissioning.
   
   OZ Minerals’ gold, silver and copper mine began operations in 2009 as an open pit mine, but it is now an underground mine producing 4.5 million tons per annum, moving to between 4.5 and 5 million tons per annum from 2022 via a trucking operation. The hoisting shaft provides access to mineral resource outside the current trucking mine plan that would have been uneconomical via a trucking operation from around 2033.
   
   Installing the Wira shaft will increase the annual underground mining rate, extend the mine life, reduce operating costs, lower emissions intensity, and reduce overall operational risk, according to OZ Minerals.

    Leading metals industry suppliers ABB & Tenova have now obtained final acceptance from their customer Acciaieria Arvedi, after partnering to deliver an innovative technology package, enabling optimal charging, melting and electromagnetic stirring for the world’s highest-yielding EAF. The powerful solution combines a Tenova Consteel EAF continuous scrap charging system with Consteerrer®, a model of the well-established ABB ArcSave electromagnetic stirrer designed specifically continuous charging EAF systems. The record-breaking electric arc furnace has a 300-ton tapping size and utilizes a charge mix which includes Hot Briquetted Iron. It was installed to meet the demand for increased output following the recent revamp of the continuous Endless Strip Production Arvedi-ESP casting and rolling mill line at the plant.
    
    Acciaieria Arvedi chose Tenova Consteel® EAF for the second time in 2018, strengthening the plant supplied in 2008. The new installation, built to comply with the higher productivity of the recently improved continuous casting and rolling line, takes into account the requirement for increased productivity and operational flexibility, particularly in relation to the metallic charge mix that is of strategic importance in the EAF process.
    
    The careful design of the equipment and the operational results achieved demonstrate the reliability of the technology involved and the validity of this approach for the safe production of steel with minimal environmental impact. The new electric arc furnace has a diameter of 9.1 meters and is continuously fed by a Consteel conveyor and the latest generation of Tenova injection system. A plant of advanced and innovative technology, as demonstrated by the integration, since the beginning of the project, of the Consteerrer® system designed in collaboration between ABB, Arvedi and Tenova.
    
    At the core of Consteerrer® is a unique, patented, non-contact electromagnetic stirring technology that has repeatedly been shown to deliver a wide range of metallurgical improvements. Site results confirm that the Consteerrer electromagnetic stirring system has delivered a range of process improvements, thereby increasing EAF productivity, energy and resource efficiency at Acciaieria Arvedi. These include an 18 degrees Celcius lower tapping temperature and a 3.6 percent reduction in electrical energy consumption resulting in a 38,000-tonne annual reduction in CO2 emissions at the plant. EAF productivity has increased by 5 percent and final oxygen content in the EAF steel has decreased by 17 percent. Other benefits can be seen in increased scrap yield, reduced electrode use, lowered refractory wearing, reduced carry-over slag while processing is more stable and final tapping conditions more easily controlled.

    ABB PowerExchanger Integrates Renewables & Stabilizes Grid
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    04 May, 2022, 6:30 am
    
    With more intermittent renewable energy generation on the world’s power network and fossil fuel supplies experiencing major disruptions, distributed power reserves are becoming increasingly important to maintain grid stability and keep the power on 24/7. To support this transition, ABB is launching PowerExchanger, an innovative feature for its UPS products, which allows battery reserves to provide ancillary services to the grid, reducing costly downtime and cutting energy and operating costs.
    
    UPS equipment is used to provide back-up power in the case of a grid supply failure, and it can also eliminate brownouts, over-voltages, and electrical noise. The UPS’ back-up power is drawn from its energy storage capacity, which often goes unused. With PowerExchanger fitted to new or existing ABB UPS systems, these batteries can be used to help the grid respond quickly to unexpected imbalances between power generation and demand, to reduce costly outages.
    
    By using PowerExchanger to join markets for grid ancillary services, for example Fast Frequency Response, operators can now generate a new revenue stream, which lowers the cost of operating this capital-intensive equipment. Ideal for Low and Medium Voltage data centers, PowerExchanger ensures a minimum energy reserve is retained by the UPS battery, so in the event of a complete grid outage, the critical load will always be protected. PowerExchanger can also deliver additional financial and performance benefits, thanks to peak shaving. When peak-time energy comes at a premium, PowerExchanger enables on-site UPS energy reserves to cover consumption peaks and keep costs low.

    ABB Selects Enel X for Carbon Neutrality at Frosinone Plant
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    29 Jun, 2022, 6:30 am
    
    A new partnership between ABB, Enel X, Enel's global business line dedicated to innovative services, and Cogenio, the energy efficiency services platform, has begun, with the planned installation of a 1,690 kWp photovoltaic facility at ABB's Frosinone plant. The site, like all ABB Group facilities in Italy, is already powered by renewable energy supplied by Enel Energia. The installation of the plant will avoid the emission of more than 820 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere, equivalent to the amount absorbed by a forest of around 9,000 trees.
    
    Enel X will build and manage the solar park for the entire duration of the Energy Performance Contract together with its ESCo partner Cogenio. Under the Energy Power Contract formula, the investment for the plant's construction and operation is fully borne by the ESCo company. The customer will only pay for the energy vectors produced by the plant itself, with a lower energy bill than before the works.
    
    The photovoltaic plant to be built by Enel X will allow ABB to self-produce energy volumes that will meet around 30% of the entire site's energy needs. Opened in 1969, the Frosinone plant is ABB's Center of Excellence for the development and production of low-voltage circuit breakers. The 150,000 square meter factory with its 1,000 employees is highly automated and produces more than three million circuit breakers each year. Recognized by the Italian government as a Lighthouse plant, a model for digital transformation and Industry 4.0 strategies, Frosinone has developed smart, digitized and connected operations, increasing efficiency throughout its value chain.

    ABB and SKF have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to explore the possibilities for collaboration in the automation of manufacturing processes. Following the successful delivery of a number of projects in SKF’s global manufacturing network, including in Gothenburg, where a fleet of industrial robots from ABB are installed in the bearing manufacturer’s state-of-the-art factory, the two companies are now taking the next step in their collaboration.
    
    Through the partnership, ABB and SKF will identify and evaluate solutions to improve manufacturing capabilities and support clients’ increased production efficiency. As a first step, SKF’s investments in automation and clean manufacturing processes will act as a testbed, focused on decreasing CO2 emissions from SKF’s operations. Longer-term, the parties intend to explore new business opportunities in both traditional and new market segments, where both companies bring experiences within a wide range of industries.
    
    Recently, the two companies have signed contracts for delivery of specific projects in the field of advanced manufacturing automation, robotic random bin-picking or installations of innovative logistics automation solutions in more complex industrial workshops within SKF’s manufacturing footprint, thus making it possible to see how robots can enable quality assurance of detail management.

    ABB to Spin Off Accelleron Turbocharging Business

    Published on :

    ABB has announced its intention to spin off Accelleron, formerly ABB Turbocharging, its market-leading turbocharging division, by way of a dividend in kind of Accelleron Industries Ltd’s shares to ABB’s shareholders. Accelleron’s listing on SIX Swiss Exchange in Zurich is planned for 3 October 2022, and is subject to, among others, approval by ABB’s shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting scheduled for September 7, 2022.
    
    The proposed spin-off of Accelleron represents a unique opportunity for both companies, allowing them to focus on their respective core strategies and create long-term value for their stakeholders. ABB’s shareholders will be able to realize the full value of Accelleron, while ABB continues to simplify its portfolio and focus on the megatrends of electrification and automation. Accelleron will be able to concentrate exclusively on reaching its full potential in the large engine industry where the company is known as the market leader in heavy-duty turbocharging, with a compelling growth profile, high cash generation and an attractive expected dividend policy.
    
    Björn Rosengren, Chief Executive Officer of ABB, commented: “After careful consideration involving a dual-track process, we have concluded that spinning off Accelleron is the best way forward – for Accelleron itself and for ABB’s shareholders. This decision also forms a key part of ABB’s active portfolio management, while allowing our shareholders to actively participate in the future growth of this Swiss champion.”
    
    Accelleron’s potential is driven by its position, built on its very long track record, as a global market leader in heavy-duty turbocharging for mission-critical applications. Accelleron develops, produces and services turbochargers and large turbocharging components for engines, which enhance propulsion and increase fuel efficiency while reducing emissions. Its leading products support clients in sectors including marine, energy and rail, helping to provide sustainable and reliable power and highest efficiencies. Accelleron has an installed base of over 180,000 turbochargers globally and delivers around 10,000 turbochargers every year.
    
    The turbochargers are produced, sold and serviced by Accelleron’s ~2,200 employees across its network of 100 service stations in approximately 50 countries. The business has a significant and increasing presence in key established and growth markets in Asia.

    ABB heeft last van bijzondere omstandigheden
    Afgelopen kwartaal had het Zwitserse ABB te maken met veel bijzondere lasten als gevolg van de sterke dollar, een vertrek uit Rusland en problemen in de (Chinese) distributieketen. Ook was er een hoge belastingaanslag van $ 250 mln bij het afscheid van een niet-kernactiviteit en de verkoop van vastgoed. De omzet en winst over het tweede kwartaal kwamen daardoor lager uit dan verwacht. Wel realiseerde ABB een hogere afzet in volumes en een prima order intake.
    
    Door de corona lockdowns in China het afgelopen kwartaal, kon ABB daar niet alleen minder verkopen maar ook minder voorraad inkopen. Hierdoor ontstonden er tekorten in benodigde materialen zoals computerchips. De nettowinst daalde vooral door de genoemde belastingaanslag. Die heffing was een belangrijke reden voor de 49,6% lagere nettowinst ten opzichte van het tweede kwartaal van vorig jaar. De nettowinst kwam afgelopen kwartaal uit op $ 379 mln. De omzet daalde met 3% tot $ 7,25 mrd. Tegen constante wisselkoersen werd er zelfs een plus van 6% gerealiseerd. Zonder alle bijzondere lasten steeg de operationele winst met 2,7% naar $ 1,14 mrd. Het aantal nieuwe orders nam ten opzichte van hetzelfde kwartaal vorig jaar met 10% toe tot $ 8,81 mrd. Tegen constante wisselkoersen zou dit een plus van 20% geweest zijn.
    
    De Zwitsers verwachten in het derde kwartaal veel minder logistieke problemen. De omzet in het derde kwartaal zal met meer dan 10% toenemen dankzij inhaalvraag vanuit voornamelijk de auto-industrie, de voedingsindustrie en de machinebouw. De winstmarge zal duidelijk hoger uitkomen dan de 15,5% van het tweede kwartaal. Het $ 57 mln kostende vertrek uit Rusland zal impact hebben op de cashflow in het derde kwartaal. ABB benadrukte nog eens dat er wat betreft de beursgang van de E-mobility business (laders voor elektromotoren) echt sprake van uitstel is en niet van afstel. Zodra de effectenmarkten enigszins tot rust zijn gekomen, zal de beursgang alsnog plaatsvinden. De divisie Accelleron, waar onder andere turbo’s voor scheepsmotoren worden vervaardigd en onderhouden, wordt op 3 oktober naar de beurs gebracht. Beleggers in ABB zullen voor elke 20 aandelen ABB één aandeel Accelleron ontvangen.
