Switzerland, Zurich: ABB has won a power order from CCR (Companhia de Concessões Rodoviárias) Group to provide power for expanded metro lines in the Greater Salvador area, Brazil. CCR Group is one of the largest private infrastructure conglomerates in Latin America.
ABB will design, engineer, supply, install and commission the project which should improve the urban transportation infastructure. The project will enable fast transport to the Fonte Nova Stadium, one of the official 2014 FIFA World Cup venues.
According to the project, ABB will construct two primary substations, 17 distribution substations, seven traction substations and a 32-km long medium-voltage ring for the line extension.
ABB will supply key products such as power transformers, medium- and low-voltage alternating current switchgear, AC generators, rectifiers, rectifier transformers, protection equipment and supervisory control systems.
“These substations will help provide reliable and efficient power supplies to support the operation of the expanded rail network,” said Claudio Facchin, head of ABB’s Power Systems division. “ABB has leading technologies and a strong track record of providing innovative solutions for the rail sector, serving communities all over the world.”
