 ABB wins $30 million order for underground substations
What if you could build an invisible substation? Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation are doing just that by building an underground substation designed to blend into the surrounding landscape, with a compact footprint. Even though you may not see them, they will still strengthen the transmission network and help provide a reliable power supply to this fast-developing region.

 Using reliable data on transformer conditions to determine life cycle decisions
Aging assets, rising energy demand, and the need to deliver power without outages are issues facing utilities and industries around the world. At the same time, financial constraints demand an increased return on investment over reduced maintenance budgets and spending. These apparently contradictory demands can be met through optimized asset management. This, in turn, requires accurate and reliable models considering both technical and economical criteria. Learn more about computer-based modeling and how it can provide a precise life-cycle analysis.
