ABB, bagged a contract worth Rs.295 crore from JSW Energy (Ratnagiri) for setting up a 4 x 300 MW coal based power plant at Jaigad in Ratnagiri district. The contract are for a range of power solutions including, electrical balance of plant, 400 kV gas insulated switchgear (GIS) substation and generator transformers.

The 400kV GIS substation will provide substantial space saving due to its compact design. With all live parts enclosed and protected against negative influences the gas insulated switchgear ensures enhanced operational reliability and safety. ABB's scope of delivery also includes 20/420 kV generator transformers.

ABB's solutions for the project comprise several leading edge power technologies for improved system efficiency. The modular eBoP solution for 300MW generating units will provide optimised and integrated solutions for complete plant electricals including shunt reactors, bus ducts, control and relay panels, MV and LT switchgear, other auxiliary systems and four 20kV generator circuit breakers (GCB), thus providing a further boost towards GCB scheme usages by thermal power plants in India.
