September 1, 2009 – ABB will implement its Network Manager SCADA/EMS (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition/Energy Management System) solution in the U.S. for National Grid, a leading energy utility.

9月1日消息——ABB将为美国国家电网这家领先的电力机构实施其”网络管理器SCADA/EMS（数据采集与监视控制/能源管理系统）“解决方案。

National Grid will deploy the technology in its up-state New York and New England electric operations control centers to manage the transmission and distribution networks in the region. This will facilitate a common platform for system support and operations, thus improving efficiency and maintaining a reliable and secure system.

美国国家电网将采用该技术在其最新的纽约和新英格兰电力调度控制中心，管理该地区的输配电网络。这将为系统支持和运营促成一个共同平台，从而提高效率和保持一个安全可靠的系统。

“We are delighted to work with National Grid,” said Jens Birgersson, head of Network Management at ABB, a part of the Power Systems division. “Network Manager is a market leader that enables reliable, secure and energy-efficient network operation, and is an ideal base for smart grid applications.”

ABB电力系统部网络管理主管Jens Birgersson表示：“我们很高兴与国家电网合作。‘网络管理器’是一个市场领导者，能够实现可靠、安全、节能高效的网络操作，以及是智能电网应用的一个理想基础。”

As part of the project scope, ABB will provide design, engineering, software, hardware, system implementation and related services. The Network Manager platform includes the SCADA system, advanced power system applications, user interface with advanced visualization and situational awareness, as well as a fully integrated operator training simulator. It also has system integration capabilities, including the use of CIM (Common Information Model), full system redundancy and offers scope for expansion. Network Manager meets industry mandated NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection Standards and National Grid cyber security requirements.

作为该项目范围的一部分，ABB将提供设计、工程、软件、硬件、系统的实施以及相关服务。该网络管理平台包括SCADA系统、先进的电力系统应用、拥有先进的可视化和态势感知的用户界面，以及一个完全集成的操作人员培训仿真器。它还具有系统集成能力，包括CIM（通用信息模型）的使用、完全系统冗余以及提供扩展余地。“网络管理器”符合业界强制的NERC关键基础设施保护标准和国家电网网络安全性要求。
