ABB solutions ensure the stability of power distribution in railway infrastructure and help promote connectivity in the ASEAN region

ABB electrical products meet the harsh tropical climate characteristics, and verifiable application examples win the trust of users

The Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed ​​Railway, connecting the Indonesian capital of Jakarta and the fourth largest city of Bandung, is a landmark project of the “Belt and Road” construction and the pragmatic cooperation between China and India. It is 142 kilometers long and has a maximum design speed of 350 kilometers per hour. It is expected to be completed and opened to traffic in June 2023. After completion, the travel time between the two places will be shortened from the current more than 3 hours to 40 minutes.

Indonesia has a typical tropical rainforest climate, with high temperatures and heavy rains all year round and a humid and hot environment. In order to adapt to these complex and humid climate characteristics and ensure the safe operation of power distribution equipment, the “four electricity” integrated intelligent distribution cabinet of the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed ​​Railway strictly selects power distribution equipment in accordance with the relevant standards and technical requirements of the countries along the “Belt and Road”. “Four electricity” is the general term for communication, signal, power and electric traction power supply in high-speed railway construction. It is the “central brain” and source of power for the entire high-speed railway.

Based on the cooperation between ABB and its partner Wuhan Xigao Electric Co., Ltd., after rigorous multiple rounds of technical bidding, the project finally selected ABB’s intelligent power distribution solution to ensure the continuity of power supply along the high-speed railway and the safe and stable operation of the electrical system. The solution covers low-voltage components such as Emax 2 air circuit breakers, Tmax molded case circuit breakers, dual power transfer switches, S200 miniature circuit breakers, AX contactors, etc., providing overload, short circuit, ground fault and indirect contact protection for the project’s low-voltage distribution network.

Since the project belongs to the “Belt and Road” project, ABB, in order to relieve customers’ concerns about additional on-site power distribution selective coordination and other issues, supports the construction of higher-performance electrical systems through the selection of ABB DOCWIN design software, and provides customers with selective coordination tripping curve instructions to avoid the safety hazards of over-tripping, thereby solving the electrical problems that may be encountered in the rail transit system.

ABB Electrical China Vice President Yang Rong said that ABB has verifiable advantages in global operation network, international and domestic project engineering experience, and digital capabilities of electrical equipment. It can connect with enterprises in the fields of power, transportation, industry and infrastructure for a wide range of projects, helping partners to improve their market competitiveness when undertaking overseas projects, and improve the distribution stability and energy efficiency of users. With the in-depth implementation of China’s “Belt and Road” initiative, it is hoped that ABB can work with more partners to achieve resource sharing and jointly develop more broad markets along the route.

As one of the first companies to actively explore business opportunities in the “Belt and Road”, ABB has jointly developed domestic and foreign markets with Chinese companies. In recent years, ABB has cooperated with 400 Chinese companies in more than 70 countries and regions along the “Belt and Road”, providing advanced technologies and solutions for related projects, such as the Myanmar Dandomiao cement production line undertaken by Sinoma International, Sinopec’s petroleum polypropylene project in Thailand, and Tangshan Bus’s No. 2 light rail project in Izmir, Turkey.

In the rail transit industry, ABB actively participates in rail transit construction in various parts of China, providing solid and reliable power guarantees for AC/DC substations, passenger station buildings, control and signaling equipment, tunnels, and locomotives, and promoting inter-provincial and inter-city connectivity. Successful projects include the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed ​​Railway, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and many rail transit projects in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Changsha and other places.
