The company’s intelligent asset management system useful for predictive maintenance will cut operating costs further and extend service-life as it reduces the risk of failures or unexpected shutdowns.
ABB will also supply 11kV and 6.6kV air-insulated and low-voltage switchgears that provide data to verify and ensure safety.
In addition, the company will provide a telecommunication system to the super complex for internal and external communication, as well as field security.
