Remarkable savings can be achieved with proven ABB technologies
Every stage in the electrical energy supply chain provides is an opportunity to implement these technologies and to save energy.
ABB helps to improve power generation by optimizing process control and tuning auxiliary systems, which can consume up to eight percent of a plant's electricity production.
ABB's high voltage direct current technology (HVDC) offers significantly lower losses over very long distance transmission. One of the world's longest transmission lines operates at 800 kV and transports 6.4 GW of electrical power. This line is in China and is currently the longest and most powerful of its kind.
ABB electrical drive systems for motors are a showcase for the efficient use of electricity in industry. The installed base of ABB drives saves the equivalent of 170 million tons of carbon dioxide every year, which is 20 percent of the total emission of Germany.
ABB's systems to control the electricity consumption in buildings can save 30 percent of the energy used in large buildings eg. in Singapore.
Customized solutions for interaction between suppliers and consumers to support demand response functions and better informed consumers choices on how and when electricity is used are available from ABB.
ABB's platforms for energy trading, an important aspect of energy efficiency improvement, are deployed around the world.
