ABB to Supply Electrical Equipment for Turkish Steel Plant
Posted on: Friday, 11 July 2008, 12:00 CDT
Swiss power and automation technology group ABB has won a $28 million contract to provide electrical equipment for a new steel plant in Turkey to ensure reliable power supply for high-quality production.
The project is reportedly the largest single private investment in the iron and steel industry in Turkey and will have the capacity to produce 2.5 million tons of hot flat-rolled products and 1.2 million tons of cold rolled products. The plant will also produce galvanizing steel, dyed sheet steel and rolled steel.
ABB will supply technology including a static var compensator (SVC), which compensates for fluctuations in the voltage and current of power supplies that can harm production quality in industrial plants.
The contract was awarded by MMK-Atakas, a joint partnership between Atakas Metallurgy and Port Management Turkey and Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK), a Russian company.
The order includes transformers, high and medium-voltage switchgear, a substation supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA), and flexible AC transmission system.
In addition to the SVC system, ABB will supply four power transformers, a 380/34.5kV complete turnkey switchyard, and a 72.5kV open switchyard. The company will also supply and install medium-voltage panels along with the SCADA and communications system.
