Siemens Mobility Secures Major Contract for Power Supply of Singapore's Upcoming Cross Island Line

Siemens Mobility and Concord Corp will design and install a power system for Singapore's Cross Island Line in a EUR 270M contract.

Siemens Mobility has been appointed by the Singapore Land Transport Authority to lead a consortium with Concord Corporation Pte Ltd for the design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of the power supply system for Singapore's eighth and newest Mass Rapid Transit system, the Cross Island Line. The contract value of the consortium has a volume of approximately EUR 270 million.

"We are proud to be chosen by the Singapore Land Transport Authority as its partner for electrifying the Cross Island Line. This underlines our long-term partnership to deliver a comprehensive rail infrastructure system, following the supply of our Trainguard MT Communications-based train control signaling system. Our power supply solution will combine the real and digital worlds to provide reliable, safe, and 100% available electrification on the line while optimizing lifecycle costs," said Michael Peter, CEO of Siemens Mobility.

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 includes:

• 3 Intake stations [66kV Gas Insulated Switchgear, short GIS, intake transformers]
• 22kV [Medium Voltage System, MVS]: 22kV GIS panels, service transformers
• 1500V DC system: [DC panels, double converter TX, double converters]

Condition Monitoring System and Intelligent Fault Isolation System [“iFIS”] 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 of Siemens Mobility’s signaling 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 signaling system in 2022 and 2023 respectively.
• JRL’s signaling 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 two other mass transit projects: Circle Line Stage 6 and North-East Line extension.
