ABB has a long and successul record o designing andbuilding generators or all power generation applications.

ABB has the modern products, experience and resources

needed to support plant builders and operators rom theinitial project concept through design, installation andover many years o eicient, reliable operation.

A comprehensive rangeo electric generators

Today, ABB is the market leader in generators powered

by gas and steam turbines, gas and diesel engines and

wind turbines. From thousands o installations around

the world, ABB has extensive applications experience.

ABB also supplies generators in new applications such as

concentrated solar and geothermal installations and

energy recovery expanders.

ABB generators achieve the h ighest standards o e iciencyand reliability. They are available over a very wide range

o operating parameters and enclosures, complying with

all internationally accepted standards.

ABB also oers complete sets o generator cont rol

equipment as well as upgrades or existing equipment.

ABB is a global company that supports its customers

through local sales, service and manuacturing acilities,

enabling easy and eicient communication.

Generators or hazardous areas represent one o ABBs

special areas o ocus. Working together with major

companies in the oil and gas, petrochemical and chemical

industries, ABB has developed a comprehensive range o

products that oer saety, reliability and energy efciency.

ABB ensures that its products not only comply with the

complex and relevant regulations but in many cases

surpass them.

ABB oers a complete portolio o serv ices or generators

aimed at trouble-ree operation over the entire lie cycle.

These services are a lso designed to extend the lietime

o the products.

Wind turbine generatorsABB has manuactured wind power generators or more

than 25 years. The generators are designed specifcally or

wind turbine applications.

ABB oers a ll the main concepts rom ixed speed and dou-

bly-ed to permanent magnet (PM) generators. PM generators

have the beneits o high eiciency and ewer parts. They are

also more compact and have many operational advantages.

ABB can supply a wide array o equipment rom the generatorto the grid connection.

Through its worldwide organization and network o selected

partners, ABB provides systematic liecycle management services

that enable wind power operators to maximize the production,

availability, reliability and perormance o their equipment.

Product range

Induction and synchronous generators

Output 15 MVA (and more)

Voltage 690 V12 kV

Speeds 142,000 rpm dependent on concept

Other applicationsEnvironmental concerns, increasing uel costs and penalties

or emissions have created a demand or increased overall

efciency o complete processes and or plants that use

renewable sources o energy.

ABB is active in these areas:

Concentratingsolarthermalpower

Geothermalenergy

Energyrecoveryexpanders Synchronouscondensers

Such applications oten impose special requirements

on the generators. The locations may be in hazardous

areas or aggressive atmospheres and may require special

cooling media. There can also be demanding electrical

conditions concerning starting, short circuit levels and

ride throughs.

ABB has the tools, experience and resources to contribute to

the design o the complete installation as well as customizing

the generator or each particular application.
