History of ABB and ABB Control Gear
ABB celebrates more than 25 years since the merger of ASEA with BBC brands
Novemeber 2012 marked the 25th anniversary with the historic merger of Sweden’s ASEA and Switzerland’s Brown Boveri. At the start of January in 1988, equally organizations merged to sort ABB Asea Brown Boveri & Cie, integrating 850 subsidiary firms and 180,000 employees operating in 140 countries.
A great deal of the technology our society now relies on devised commercialized by ABB and its founding businesses, making ABB Control Gear the largest supplier of industrial motors and drives, the largest provider of generators for the wind industry and the largest supplier of power grids worldwide.
ABB Control Gears most recent breakthrough, the development in 2012 of a hybrid high-voltage direct current (HVDC) breaker suitable for the creation of large, inter regional DC grids, solves a technical question that has mystified engineers considering the fact that the ‘war of currents’ between alternate current (AC) and direct current (DC) within the 1890s, taking ABB back full circle to a time of their founding businesses.
History of ABB...Over a century of innovation across the Baltic sea
Equally organizations were themselves the result of previous mergers of other pioneering ventures. As far back as 1890, Ludvig Fredholm’s Elektriska Aktiebolaget company in Stockholm, founded in 1883 as a manufacturer of electrical lighting and generators, merged together with the year-old Wenströms & Granströms Elektriska Kraftbolag to kind Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget, later shortened to ASEA.
A year later, in Switzerland, Charles E.L. Brown and Walter Boveri established Brown, Boveri & Cie (BBC), shortly to become the to start with company to transmit high-voltage power. Despite the miles between them, there were soon marked parallels between the 2organizations. ASEA’s business was ‘the generation and application of electric power’ and their products soon ranged from steam turbines for power plants to the new, high-speed electric passenger trains. Meanwhile, BBC was producing DC and AC motors, generators, steam turbines (the to start with in Europe), gas turbines, transformers and electrical components for trains.
Eectric propulsion systems in 1990 and the FlexPicker delta robot in 1998. Far morelatestimprovements mirror its increasing emphasis on eco-friendly know-how, such as the world’s initial business high-voltage shore to ship electrical energy in 2000, which vastly contributes to reducing green house gas oline emissions within the Swedish port of Gothenburg.
Further achievements during the last 10 years hi-lightthe world wide expansion of ABB. During 2002 saw the world’s longest underground transmission, linking the alternate current AC networks of South Australia and Victoria, as well as world’s 1st extruded HVDC submarine transmission, between Connecticut and long Island, US. In 2010 a 2,000 km ultra high voltage directcurrent (UHVDC) conection was installed to link Shanghai with Xiangjiaba hydropower plant in south-west China.
