Powered by digital


Digital technologies are the foundation for all the benefits delivered by ABB’s portfolio of smart airport solutions. A digital power infrastructure enables complete visibility of all airport systems, centralized control and automatic alerts whenever there is an operational anomaly. Data generated by connected devices across the airport can be integrated and analyzed, producing insights for better operational decisions

Safe and resilient


Safety is paramount for airport operations, followed only by the ability to recover quickly from any system failure. ABB power solutions protect personnel with products ranging from passive protection to ultra-fast arc mitigation solutions.

ABB's arc flash mitigation solutions keep your operations running, improving uptime by limiting the energy of arc faults, therefore limiting the damage they cause to switchgear and assets and the repair time required.

ABB’s portfolio covers active, passive and preventive solutions from low-to medium-voltage applications – all exceeding the requirements of current regulations.


  • • MV arc detection and extinction - REA solution and Relion® relays with arc protection offer fast arc-fault detection and extinction in 60-80ms.
  • • LV arc detection and extinction - TVOC 2offer fast arc-fault detection and extinction in 60-80ms.
  • • UFES Ultra-Fast Earthing Switch - Offers best arc-fault detection and extinction in less than 4ms

Efficient


Efficient airport operations mean less downtime, reduced energy consumption and lower costs. Infrastructure efficiency begins with ABB electric motors, generators and drives, and is compounded by ABB Ability™ digital solutions. With real-time monitoring of energy, assets and data, and an integrated electrical control system, ABB ensures optimized operations for maximum efficiency.

Sustainable

Sustainability


Aviation produces 2 percent of global CO2 emissions making greener, more sustainable airports an important part of slowing global climate change. But sustainability is not just about carbon emissions, it’s also about doing more with less—smaller switch rooms, lighter equipment, less energy consumption. About 65 percent of airport energy consumption is in the terminal building. ABB infrastructure solutions start with a digital backbone and add smart power distribution, real-time monitoring and analytics to optimize every aspect of operation.




 

 


Enhanced passenger experience

Enhanced passenger experience


The center of any airport is not the food court, or departure lounge, or even planes—it’s people. Planes, terminals and ground transportation are all built around the needs of passengers, how to move them safely from one place to another, and how to make their journey through the airport as pleasant and efficient as possible. The overall efficiency and reliability of airport systems is the foundation for a good passenger experience. This includes optimized environmental controls, such as lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning—all enhanced by intelligent building control.
