As part of the $38 million order, ABB will provide an integrated electrical automation solution, including the medium- and low-voltage switchgear and distribution transformers managed by the platform management system, which will enable remote operators to control the power network, thus ensuring a stable and reliable supply for the entire project, the company said in a statement.
The new solution will manage data signals from more than 50,000 devices and coordinate operation of the entire flood protection system, consisting of flood barriers, navigation locks, and breakwaters to shield the lagoon from rising sea levels, winter storms and spring tides.
