“We are proud to be LTA’s chosen partner to electrify the CRL. With this contract, Siemens can leverage our technology leadership to deliver an optimal rail infrastructure system on the CRL comprising not only electrification but also the overhead catenary rigid power supply and signalling systems. This is a terrific opportunity for us to further strengthen our longstanding partnership with LTA to expand MRT connectivity and invest in local rail engineering capabilities for a greener and more efficient land transport ecosystem in Singapore.
Our power supply solutions and signalling systems for the CRL will enable LTA to connect the physical rail infrastructure with the digital world, gaining more value through integrated digital technologies. This will optimise lifecycle costs and provide a safe and reliable commute for CRL passengers. We look forward to bringing forth our experience and expertise through this contract, and continue to contribute to Singapore MRT’s development,” said Michel Obadia, CEO of Siemens Mobility Singapore and Asia-Pacific.
Digital Power Supply Systems for Cross Island Line
For this project, Siemens Mobility will design, supply, install, test and commission the power supply system for CRL which include:
- 3 intake stations (66kV GIS, intake transformers)
- 22kV (MVS): 22kV GIS panels, service transformers
- 1500V DC System: (DC panels, double converter TX, double converters)
Condition Monitoring System and Intelligent Fault Isolation System are also provided for enhanced performance management. The CRL power supply system is designed with proven modular features that facilitate future upgrades, allowing seamless integration and better interface connectivity between the power supply and signaling systems, for more sustainable and cost-effective operations overall.
The CRL will be fully-automated and driverless ready, enabled by the digital technologies provided by Siemens Mobility’s signalling and power supply systems.
Longstanding Relationship with Singapore
This latest contract builds the already well-established relationship Siemens Mobility has with Singapore, and on a series of other projects Siemens Mobility has been awarded for Singapore’s MRT network, which include:
- CRL’s Overhead Catenary Rigid Power Supply System and signalling system in 2022 and 2023 respectively.
- JRL’s signalling system and power supply system in 2020 and 2022,
- Supply, installation and commissioning of Depot equipment for Tengah Depot in 2021,
- Signalling and the test center for the Downtown Line, as well as
- Electrification for Circle Line Stage 6 and North-East Line extension.
