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.

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.

RIO600 introduces new advanced fault passage indication (FPI) to allow easy and affordable modernization of compact secondary substations (CSSs) for faster fault location also in rural areas.

Remote operations are an important advantage not only for office workers but also production line operators. Mondi is a global leader in packaging and paper and has installed the ABB Ability™ EDCS system in its mill in Świecie, Poland, to monitor devices and enable smart energy management, even via a mobile phone.

ABB provides innovative solution with the UniPack-G Compact Secondary Substation.

ABB has completed a 6-month project to provide the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone (FTZ) with ABB Ability™ Electrical Distribution Control System (EDCS). The project has helped create an intelligent industrial park, the equivalent size of over 1400 football pitches, through improving electrical stability and digitalizing its power management.

ABB’s pioneering flagship all-in-one protection relay within distribution protection and control – REX640 – addresses secure and flexible standardized communication, both within the substation and remote monitoring system, in its first functionality upgrade.

With ABB's smart secondary substation components, network faults are quickly located, and the power supply is restored remotely.

Maximum production uptime is a critical factor for the new €100 million plant in Pischelsdorf, Austria. To help ensure continuous operation, AGRANA is relying on ABB drives together with a complete low voltage power distribution system.

ABB’s electrification infrastructure with digital functionality ensures reliable power distribution in Telia’s mission critical data center.

Network reliability is a primary concern in our growing urban hubs. JE-Siirto has therefore partnered with ABB to build a more reliable and smarter city grid with ABB’s grid automation solutions.
