I think it's only the streetname... Explanation: ...because i found this adress for a powerplant here in switzerland: "ABB Power Generation Ltd. KWGA 12 CH--5401 Baden". "KWGA 12" looks like a streetname. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs 46 mins (2004-09-15 06:25:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ahh i think it\'s only a section of the whole company. something like the \"IT-Section\" of a company. |

Kraftwerk GA Explanation: The "GA" may well be a company internal code for the power station. Also little more than a guess, but equally possible, I think. Best answer of all (and worth five!) is: ask the customer to clarify it! |

peer agreement (net): +1another idea Explanation: I just had a brilliant idea: maybe it's a combined abbreviation for Kombikraftwerke + Gasturbinenwerke? I was inspired by the abbreviations used in other contexts: Kombikraftwerke mit Gas- und Dampfturbinen (GUD) nutzen Energieträger wie ... Damit zB Gasturbinen mit deutlich höheren Heißgastemperaturen arbeiten und ... w4.siemens.de/FuI/de/ressorts1/energie/leute Diese Kraftwerke, in denen ein Gas- und ein Dampfturbinenprozess miteinander kombiniert sind, werden deshalb auch Kombikraftwerke genannt (englisch "combined cycle"). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 1 hr 12 mins (2004-09-16 02:50:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.lurgi-lentjes.de/lentjes_headoffice/deutsch/nbsp/... odr maybe *K*raft*W*erke und *Ga*sturbinenwerke |
