In 2021, ABB was awarded a bid by The Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to provide a complete power distribution solution to maintain safe and reliable energy supply for the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) project in Beijing. As one of the key projects listed in the 13th Five-year Plan for national major scientific and technological infrastructure construction,

ABB’s all-in-one protection relay for advanced power generation and distribution applications, REX640, releases new hardware for increased flexibility with more interface options.

Designed to provide simplified yet optimal protection and control for basic power distribution applications, REX610 takes the next step in protecting people and processes.

The capability of REX640 to perform automatic high-speed transfers ensures fast recovery of electrical supply for critical loads, minimizes the impact on the manufacturing process – and saves money.

Packed with innovative simplicity, REX610 is designed to simplify protection and control as the power grid evolves.

As the power grid evolves, REX610 is designed to simplify protection and control of basic power distribution applications.

Capable of covering up to 20 REX640 relays, the new switchgear human-machine interface (SHMI) provides optimal visibility and reduces relay costs by up to 15 percent.

Introducing support for the remote communication protocol IEC 60870-5-104 reduces the number of components in the distribution network and the amount of engineering.

Finnish utility provider, Savon Voima Verkko, has selected power protection solutions from ABB to upgrade its Leppävirta substation.

ABB today announced the release of its latest UL certified ANSI digital switchgear portfolio. With complete control, flexibility and protection the new range offers a significant reduction in total cost of ownership and increased safety and space savings compared to conventional switchgear.
