Effectively utilizing the Medium Voltage Drives (MVD) system for water pump systems and fans helps minimize the electricity consumption of power plants, particularly thermal power plants, contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions and the implementation of the National Climate Change Strategy until 2050 as directed by the Prime Minister.

In addition, ABB Vietnam also introduced the technology of Variable Frequency Drives for pump stations and the SFC (Starting Frequency Converter) system used to start the turbine in pump mode for Pumped-Storage Hydropower Plants. ABB shared their installation experience with SFC systems in various pumped-storage hydropower projects. Furthermore, ABB experts engaged in discussions and exchanged knowledge with EVNPECC4 engineers on related topics.

Through this ABB Workshop on MVD Variable Frequency Drives and SFC Systems for Pumped-Storage Hydropower Plants, EVNPECC4 engineers continue to stay updated on new technologies to apply them in the engineering process.

ABB Vietnam, a subsidiary of the ABB Group, is a leading company in electrification and automation technology. The company's solutions integrate engineering and software to optimize production, transportation, energy supply, and operations.
