Be certain the power stays on when it matters for hospitals, ships and bases

From buildings and bases to hospitals and headquarters, critical power technology is crucial to operations. Getting power to the plug doesn’t have to be a concern with ABB’s technologies, even in situations where power is interrupted. You can be sure the power monitoring equipment in the control room on a base and the MRI in the radiology department function when they need to. 

Creating the link between renewable generation, efficient storage and reliable integration

The growth of renewable energy means that grids need to adapt to changing energy sources, such as wind and solar. Some grids may have limited capacity to cope with larger amounts of energy or unpredictable weather patterns. ABB integrates grids with new forms of energy, providing a full service from consulting, generation and connection to transmission, monitoring and control, as well as maintenance and optimization. With wind and solar going digital, they are easier to maintain and keep running when integrated into the grid. 

Connecting remote islands and isolated communities to the standard grid may not always be viable but with the strength and reliability of microgrids, harnessing wind and solar can provide dependable power to previously diesel-dependent locations. 

The evolving power system needs to be increasingly flexible and interconnected, more reliable and intelligent

Electricity is the most versatile and widely used form of energy and global demand is growing continuously. Generation of electrical energy is, however, a major source of carbon dioxide emissions, making a significant contribution to climate change. To mitigate the consequences of this, the current electricity grid needs to undergo a big shift.

A considerable amount of future electricity will come from renewable energy sources, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and lowering emissions in the long run. These renewables need to be integrated into grids that are able to manage new complexities such as intermittent supply, more distributed power generation, demand management and electric vehicles. So, the evolving power system needs to be increasingly flexible and interconnected, as well as more reliable and intelligent – what we need, in short, is a stronger, smarter and greener grid.
