    ABB repositions Power Systems division to drive higher returns

    ABB said that following its strategic review of the Power Systems division it is repositioning the business to secure higher and more consistent profitability.

    The review, which was communicated following ABB's Q3 results, was triggered by performance that has been volatile and below management expectations, despite significant investments made during the past three years. These investments have included product development, capacity expansions and acquisitions in software businesses to enhance our product portfolio.

    The division is shifting its focus to higher-margin products, systems, services and software activities. It is closing low value added EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) operations in more than 10 countries where project returns do not reflect the execution risks involved. To implement this new strategic focus, the division has made key leadership and organizational changes. It will continue to provide customers with a comprehensive system offering in projects that have a higher ABB content and the appropriate risk return profile.

    Mr Joe Hogan CEO of ABB said that “We’ve made substantial investments recently to increase Power Systems’ potential for value creation. However, Power Systems has not generated consistent returns. This is not acceptable; therefore we are recalibrating the growth, profitability and cash return ambitions for this division.”

    As a result, ABB has raised the PS division’s 2011-2015 operational EBITDA margin target corridor to 9 to 12% from the current level of 7 to 11% with the division expected to reach the lower end of the new corridor by the fourth quarter of 2013. At the same time, the organic revenue CAGR target has been lowered to 7 to 11% from 10 to 14% to reflect reduced low value-added EPC activities and increased project selectivity. ABB confirms all other 2015 targets.

    These actions are expected to reduce EBIT reported by Power Systems and ABB in the fourth quarter by approximately USD 350 million. Of this, about USD 100 million is related to restructuring-related expenses and other non-operational write-offs, and is not included in operational EBITDA. The remainder reflects additional costs expected from closing some local units as well as further overruns on a small number of projects. The costs of the program are expected to have a payback period in the range of two and a half years.

    ABB wins USD 260 million power order to upgrade HVDC link in the US

    ABB a global leader in power and automation technology has won an order worth around USD 260 million from the U.S utility Bonneville Power Administration a power marketing agency within the U.S Department of Energy to upgrade the existing Celilo HVDC converter station in Oregon. This station is an important part of the electricity link between the Pacific Northwest and southern California commissioned more than 40 years ago in 1970. The order was booked in the Q4 of 2012.

    The Celilo converter station is located at the north end of the Pacific DC Intertie also known as Path 65 which has a capacity of 3,100 megawatts and originates near the Columbia River. This Intertie is 846 miles long and connects to the Sylmar converter station in the south.

    The Pacific DC intertie transmits electricity from the Pacific Northwest to as many as 3 million households in the greater Los Angeles area. During the winter the north consumes significant quantities of power for heating while the south requires less but in the summer demand is reversed with more power needed in the south for cooling. The Pacific Intertie allows power to flow between the Northwest and Southern California helping to balance supply with demand.

    Key components of the station upgrade include valves, controls, transformers as well as switchgear and cooling equipment. In addition to modernizing the converter station, the upgrade will also make it feasible to boost capacity up to 3,800 MW. ABB carried out a similar upgrade of the Sylmar converter station in 2004.

    Mr Brice Koch head of ABB's Power Systems division said that “The converter station upgrade will enhance the reliability of this important HVDC link thereby reducing the risk of blackouts and helping to secure power supply in the region.”

    ABB developed innovative high voltage switchgear for power transmission

    ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has developed an innovative high voltage switchgear solution for 362 KV to 550 KV transmission applications.

    The new Disconnecting Circuit Breaker has an integrated Fiber Optic Current Sensor which simplifies substation design and significantly reduces footprint requirements. It also adds to the intelligence of the device, enabling it to be part of a more flexible, reliable and smarter grid. The new DCB-FOCS has been successfully deployed in a 420 KV pilot project in Sweden. ABB is showcasing the new product at Hannover Messe for the first time from Apr 8th to 12th 2013.

    Conventional air-insulated high voltage switchgear comprises the circuit breaker, dis connector, and current transformer as separate components which require individual installation space. ABB pioneered the DCB in 2000, integrating the disconnecting function in the breaking chamber of the circuit breaker thereby reducing footprint and making installation easier.

    ABB has now taken this concept a step further by integrating FOCS within the DCB itself. This new design has the potential to reduce the overall physical footprint of the substation where it is installed by up to 60 per cent compared with a conventional solution.

    At the heart of the innovation lies a robust, state of the art optical sensor with a digital interface, compatible with IEC 61850 standards, that enables easy access to critical substation data, to monitor and control vital parameters.

    Mr Giandomenico Rivetti, head of ABB’s High Voltage products business within the company’s Power Products division, said that “This latest development is yet another milestone in our continued commitment to technology and innovation. Integrating the FOCS with the DCB reduces footprint while delivering a ‘smart grid’ enabled solution that is virtually plug and play and yet flexible enough to accommodate customer needs. This makes it ideally suited for new and upgrade substation applications with the added benefit of enhanced power availability and reliability.”

    The new product has low maintenance needs and is more environmentally friendly and eco-efficient in terms of CO2 emissions and material used for production and insulation. Moreover, the wiring comprises standard Ethernet cable connections, making it both simpler and safer while improving efficiency by cutting electro thermal and electrical losses.

    Further, the replacement of multiple CT cores with a single FOCS has the dual advantage of better protection and control.

    ABB wins USD 30 million oil and gas order in Australia

    ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has been appointed the main electrical contractor for a new floating production, storage and offloading vessel at the Ichthys oil and gas field in the Timor Sea off Western Australia.

    The order is worth USD 30 million and was awarded by the engineering, procurement and construction contractor for the FPSO, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering. The order was booked in the Q1.

    This is the third major contract that ABB has been awarded for the Ichthys oil and gas project.

    Recently, ABB was awarded a USD 15 million order by Samsung Heavy Industries to be the MEC for the Ichthys central processing facility, which, when completed will be the largest offshore production facility in the world.

    And, in 2012 ABB won orders worth USD 80 million to supply power technologies and medium voltage drive systems for a new onshore liquefied natural gas plant, to which the gas from the Ichthys field will be transported by pipeline for processing.

    Ichthys is the second largest oil and gas project in Australia’s history. When production starts in 2016 Ichthys will have an initial production capacity of 8.4 million metric tonne of liquefied natural gas and 1.6 million metric tonne of liquefied petroleum gas a year, as well as about 100,000 barrels of condensate a day at peak. The USD 32 billion project is a joint venture between Japan based Inpex Corporation and Total E&P Australia.

    Daewoo selected ABB for its ability to provide a complete and integrated electrical solution for the entire FPSO. The solution has an exceptionally compact footprint and comprises a comprehensive range of ABB power products and systems, including high voltage air and gas insulated switchgear, low voltage switchboards, and liquid-filled and dry-type transformers. ABB is also responsible for design, engineering, installation, commissioning and project management.

    Mr Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB’s Process Automation division, said that “ABB is proud to be playing a principal role in this, one of the largest and most prestigious projects in Australia’s oil and gas industry. Our ability to provide a state-of-the-art solution, coupled with our extensive local resources and track record in similar oil and gas projects in Australia, were key to our winning this important order.”
