ABB Secures US$15m Power Transmission Order in Mongolia
Power and automation technology group ABB has secured an order worth US$15million from Mongolian mining company Oyu Tolgoi to enhance the capacity of existing transmission lines.
The company will design, supply, install and commission two static var compensators by 2012, each with a rating of -100/+100 MVAr (megavolt ampere reactive).
SVC is part of ABB’s family of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) technologies, which enhance the capacity and flexibility of power transmission systems.
ABB claims that FACTS technologies allow more power to reach consumers with minimal environmental impact, lower investment costs and shorter implementation times than the traditional alternative of building new power lines.
