    Powerformer, a radically new type of generator developed by ABB, has been chosen for a combined heat and power plant in Eskilstuna, Sweden. This first commercial order for Powerformer from the thermal power sector is for a generator rated at 42 MVA, 136 kV and 3000 rev/min. It will be connected directly to existing 136-kV switchgear, ie no step-up transformer will be used. The life-cycle cost of Powerformer is expected to be 15 percent lower than for a conventional generator.
