Switzerland, Zurich: ABB and Ansaldo Energia consortium is providing a turnkey solution for grid development plans of the Italian TSO (Transmission System Operator) on the island of Sardinia.

The consortium will deliver the first of two synchronous compensation solutions to the Codrongianos cogeneration power plant.

Each synchronous compensation system provided includes a 250 MVA synchronous compensator, an excitation system and a static frequency converter system for startup, a 330 MVA step-up transformer for connection to the grid, a medium-voltage generator circuit breaker and auxiliary systems for cooling, protection, control and monitoring.

Ansaldo Energia is supplying the synchronous compensators, while ABB’s scope of supply includes transformers, generator circuit breakers, air-insulated bus ducts, low- and medium-voltage switchgear, cables and auxiliary equipment.

The solution will ensure a stable power supply and enhanced power quality for the island’s 400 kV power network.
