Itaipu-São Paulo 765 kV AC transmissionCustomer needs:

Power transfer of 6,300 MW hydro power generated at 60 Hz from Itaipu to the load center of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro

ABB response:A series compensated AC transmission link to transfer the full hydro power capacity; 7 banks delivered 1989, and 1 in 1998.

Customer benefits:ABB pioneered the world’s first 765 kV series compensation. Maximum power transfer raised significantly from the uncompensated stage of 4500 MW (designed max value: 8500 MW).

Why FACTS is important for the future

Latin America

Focus shifting from generation to transmission

Interconnections (regions, countries)

Metropolitan load growth with increased demand for power

Strengthening networks improves utilization of existing generation capacity

Power flow control and stability in case of emergencies
