ATON GmbH

ATON Transilvania owns a transformer station with a capacity of 125 MWx2. Regarding the conceptual design and the applied technology, it is the only transformer station of its kind in western Romania.
The ATON Transilvania transformer station is suited to cover 70% of the consumption of the district Timiş. In the first stage, it will be connected to the national supply network system (220 kV). As soon as the national company Transelectrica switches to the 400 kV system, the ATON Transilvania transformer station will also switch to 440 kV. This fact allows for a high degree of security in regards to electric power supply. Due to the two completely independent power supply stations, all demands of even the most sophisticated customers are being met. The electricity network is controlled by the SCADA system, which facilitates the disengagement of defective sectors and the automatic supply for the customers.

The transformer station, equipped with the latest technology by the company ABB, facilitates the electric power supply of the most northern part of the Timişoara surroundings. Due to the geographical position, there will be the possibility to import and export electric power in the future. In 2007, ATON Transilvania employed a staff of 75 in the section electricity.
