Excitation and Synchronization sales support portal

Power output stability is a crucial cornerstone of any power generation plant. This has become even more true today with the growing injection of renewable power into national grids, raising fluctuation levels and prompting stricter rules to allow connection to the grid.

ABB is the world leading supplier of indirect (brushless) and static excitation systems, synchronizing equipment as well as consultancy packages like simulation and grid code compliance studies.

ABB's solutions for excitation are part of a comprehensive suite of automation, electrical, rotating machine control, motors and generators that combine 125+ years of engineering experience and thousands of installations around the world.

Opportunities for partners

Rosa Vargas, Regional Manager for Americas for ABB Excitation, walks us through a 2-minute introduction of the market opportunities for excitation products and the related ABB portfolio

Portfolio for partners

Generators and turbines  sit at the earth of many plants. Their failure brings the whole operations to a halt, with huge costs and disruptions involved.

Excitation systems play a pivotal role in the stability of power output. They sit at the core of power plants to enable generators and turbines to work continuously, safely and as per grid requirements.
