“In addition to enhancing grid capacity, ABB’s substation solutions will help improve efficiency and quality of power in the region,” said Peter Leupp, head of ABB’s Power Systems division.

ABB is responsible for the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of the 132 kV (kilovolt) and 110 kV substations. Key components include gas-insulated switchgear, transformers, medium voltage switchgear, low voltage auxiliary systems, network protection and control, as well as communication and SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) solutions.

Substations facilitate efficient transmission and distribution, and also include equipment for protection and control of electrical power.
