As technology advances, we have become increasingly reliant on secure electricity supplies to carry out our daily tasks. Without them, the lights go out, trains stop running and computers shut down. The knock-on effects are not only inconvenient, they are costly and, in some cases, life threatening.
With demand for electricity rising year on year and concern for the environment bringing more renewable energy sources online, transmission system operators are under increasing pressure to enhance the flexibility of their grids to improve capacity and accommodate the demands of deregulated power markets.
As the world leader in power technologies, ABB offers sustainable solutions to the challenges of today, and tomorrow. This portal provides easy access to information about ABB's power products and services, its expertise in power transmission systems and electrical optimization, grid reliability and blackout prevention.
