The Duferco Travi e Profilati steel mill in San Zeno Naviglio in northern Italy is the Duferco Group's largest plant. It has an area of about 491,860 m² and a production capacity of about 950,000 tons per year of steel for the steel mill and 700,000 tons for the rolling mill. The steel mill has an electric furnace, two refining furnaces - including a twin furnace capable of simultaneously

The transition to SF6-free switchgear is one of the most significant technological shifts in the history of medium-voltage infrastructure — and it’s happening at a time of unprecedented pressure on the grid.

The green transition, new consumption patterns and the rise of decentralized energy sources are making it increasingly challenging to maintain the grid. The partnership between Vores Elnet and ABB demonstrates how project management, innovation and collaboration are driving the modernization of Denmark's power infrastructure – ensuring reliable electricity every day, all year round.

In the heart of South Jutland, the green fuel of the future is being produced. Kassø is home to the world's first large-scale e-methanol plant, situated alongside the largest solar park in the Nordics. As European Energy’s Power-to-X site moves from vision to reality, ABB's role has evolved from supplier to co-developer and problem solver.

In the latest release, ABB’s centralized protection and control offering, SSC600 and SSC600 SW, has been extended to include line differential protection and support for even more standards.

One of the largest construction projects in the country is currently underway to expand NKT’s factory in Karlskrona, Sweden, increasing the capacity to meet growing need for offshore high-voltage power cabling. To keep electricity flowing to this pivotal project, NKT has partnered with ABB Distribution Solutions to deliver the power supply to the expanded facilities. The production facility will

Ready to protect and control any asset in advanced power generation and distribution applications, REX640 is now available in two sizes for increased flexibility in installation.

The transition away from fossil fuels is a priority for European energy utilities and industries alike, but there is a reality gap—the need for more investment to meet clean energy goals, according to a new survey conducted by ABB's Distribution Solutions Division. European electrification purchase decision-makers in France, Germany, Italy, Norway, and the U.K. were surveyed, and more than half

When it was time to upgrade four of its substations built in the 1980s, Swedish distribution system operator Sala-Heby Energi Elnät (SHEAB) chose to upgrade their installed medium-voltage switchgear with new smart protection relays and refurbish existing circuit breakers. Reliability and availability of power supply are crucial for distribution system operators (DSOs). Having previously

ABB introduces a new all-in-one protection relay for power generation and distribution applications to ensure maximum flexibility and cost-effectiveness throughout the relay life cycle.

ABB has worked closely with its engineering partner on a complex African mining project to upgrade key electrical infrastructure. The project, a partnership between ABB Electrification and original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Power Plant Electrical (PPE) Technologies, has enhanced efficiency and safety for one of the largest and most productive gold mines in Ghana, which extracts up to one

ABB has extended its award-winning earth-fault protection portfolio with a new addition: touch voltage-based earth-fault current protection, also known as IFPTOC in IEC 61850 - the international standard that defines communication protocols for intelligent electronic devices in substations. In a world-first, customers operating compensated distribution networks can now benefit from this new

Combining the functions of multiple relays into one device, CPC reduces network complexity, thus providing the means to better manage substation protection. And, by offering CPC as a virtualized image, ABB enhances scalability and flexibility – a boon for time-critical control and protection applications.

Climate change is one of the major threats we are facing today on a global scale. Its impacts are already visible across various aspects of our daily lives. In the electricity distribution sector, tasks such as the need for building weatherproof networks, managing distributed electricity production, and preparing for the forecasted increase in electricity consumption are just a few examples. The

ABB has delivered a state-of-the-art distribution solution to ensure Southeast Asia’s largest floating solar power plant can deliver reliable, clean energy to 50,000 Indonesian homes. The new 250-hectare floating solar power plant in the Cirata Reservoir in West Java, Indonesia, was recently inaugurated by the Indonesian President, Joko Widodo. It is one of a growing number of floating solar

Montenegrin electricity distribution system operator (DSO) CEDIS chose ABB as a reliable partner for the installation of a medium-voltage solution that improves the reliability and quality of the power supply to end users in Podgorica.

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.

ABB is delivering on its commitment to transparency and sustainability across its complete value chain. At ABB Electrification Smart Power, a key supplier of technologies for electrification and energy transition, 35% of global sales are now for products covered by both an independent Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and the company’s EcoSolutionsTM information label and QR code. ABB’s
