ABB continues to make breakthoughs in energy efficiency

According to Control Engineering (Europe), a city in Sweden has increased the amount of energy it can sell by 35 Gwh/year mainly due to the installation of medium voltage drives. ABB replaced resistors and slip-ring motors on the city's heating pumps with variable speed drive systems which included high efficiency motors and transformers.

Since the installation of the drives and the control system, the differential pressure in the heating pumps is now controlled automatically, providing more accuracy and stability.
