CUSTOMER CASE STUDIES AROUND THE WORLD

Here’s a snapshot of ABB’s technologies being considered by customers around the world.

Canada

Modernizing excitation systems at the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station

 

ABB’s Canadian-built UNITROL® 6000 X-power technology will enhance stability, safety and operational efficiency across eight units, supporting Canada’s low-carbon energy growth for decades to come.

Sweden

Enabling development of new nuclear power in Sweden

 

ABB has signed an MoU with Blykalla to develop advanced nuclear reactor technology, with the aim of supporting Sweden’s efforts to produce clean and reliable baseload energy. This was followed by another MoU with Blykalla to support and accelerate the development of SMR`s to the maritime industry. And now a Joint Development Agreement has marked a step forward in the collaboration and formally advances the partnership.

Industrikraft – which ABB is a core member of – and Vattenfall have signed an agreement allowing joint investment and collaboration enabling the development of new nuclear power in Sweden.

United States
