Switzerland, Zurich: ABB has won an order worth around $ 27 million from NTPC, India’s central power generation utility to supply generator transformers and shunt reactors for a greenfield 2 x 800 MW thermal power plant under construction at Garadwara.
The transformers and reactors will facilitate the evacuation of power generated from the power plant and its integration into the transmission grid serving the central Indian states of MP and Chattisgarh and the western states of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Goa.
ABB will supply seven 315 MVA, 765 kV single phase generator transformers, seven 85 MVA, 765 kV single phase ‘tie’ transformers as well as four 110 MVAr, and ten 80 MVAr, 800 kV single phase reactors. The transformers and reactors will be manufactured in Vadodara.
“These transformers and shunt reactors are based on the latest design and engineering technologies to ensure maximum reliability and efficiency.” said Markus Heimbach, head of ABB’s Transformers business, a part of the company’s Power Products division. ”We are pleased to support India’s continued efforts to build its ultrahigh voltage network and strengthen its power infrastructure.”
The project is scheduled for commissioning in 2017/2018.
