(WK-intern) – Der Geschäftsbereich Grid Solutions (NYSE-GE) von GE Renewable Energy hat einen Auftrag für Schwedens erste SF6-freie gasisolierte Schaltanlage (GIS) erhalten, die bei Vattenfall Eldistribution AB Lindhov . installiert wird Umspannwerk in Tumba, etwa 25 km vom Zentrum Stockholms entfernt.

Die Schaltanlage wird das branchenführende g3-Gas (ausgesprochen „g“-würfelig) von GE verwenden, eine bahnbrechende Alternative zu SF6 – einem starken Treibhausgas – mit einem um 99 % geringeren Treibhauspotenzial (GWP) als SF61.

GE’s g3 technology to accelerate decarbonization efforts in Sweden

• GE has been awarded a contract for Sweden´s first SF6 free 145 kV gas-insulated switchgear (GIS)
• g3 switchgear will be installed at the Vattenfall Eldistribution AB Lindhov substation in Tumba
• 25 leading electrical utilities have already adopted GE’s g3 products for their high voltage networks, avoiding the addition of more than a million tons of CO2 equivalent to the grid

Paris, FRANCE and Västerås, SWEDEN – GE Renewable Energy’s Grid Solutions business (NYSE-GE) has been awarded a contract for Sweden’s first SF6 free gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) to be installed at the Vattenfall Eldistribution AB Lindhov substation in Tumba, located approximately 25 km from the center of Stockholm. The switchgear will feature GE’s industry-leading g3 (pronounced “g”- cubed) gas, a game-changing alternative to SF6 – a potent greenhouse gas – with a global warming potential (GWP) that is about 99% less compared to SF61.

The project scope covers the design, engineering, delivery, and erection & commissioning of eight bays of GE’s F-35-41g 145 kV g3 switchgear.

“This contract represents GE’s latest g3 switchgear award and demonstrates that utility operators are becoming increasingly aware of their environmental footprint and the impact it has on their communities and the world around them. Today, 25 leading electrical utilities have already adopted GE’s g3 gas products for their high voltage networks, avoiding the addition of more than a million tons of CO₂ equivalent to the grid. That’s the equivalent of removing about half a million petrol cars from the road for one year,” said Mikael Grage, Managing Director – Sweden at GE’s Grid Solutions.

A recent EU Commission report concluded that fluoronitrile-based gas mixtures – such as g3 gas – may be the only insulating and switching gas alternative to SF6 when space is a constraint, such as in urban areas. That’s because fluoronitrile-based gas products feature the same compactness and performance as traditional SF6 equipment, unlike other SF6-free solutions.

GE’s g3 gas-insulated products are currently available for live-tank circuit-breakers and gas-insulated substations (GIS) up to 145 kV, as well as gas-insulated lines (GIL) up to 420 kV.
