Siemens Mobility has been selected by Region Stockholm Extended Metro Administration to supply the rail electrification system for the new Stockholm Metro extension. Siemens Mobility will deliver rectifier stations and network stations.
The project is an expansion of the metro with a brand-new Yellow line that will run from Odenplan to Arenastaden. The metro’s Blue line will be extended from Akalla to Barkarby in the north west and from Kungsträdgården to Nacka in the south east. In addition, the Blue Line will be connected to the green Hagsätra branch, and a new section will be built between Fridhemsplan and Älvsjö.
The rail electrification project is worth about €21 million. Work will start immediately and will take several years to complete. Delivery will take place in stages during the construction period.
“A well-functioning metro system is an important factor in everyday life for the residents of the Stockholm region. When the yellow line and other extensions are in place, even more people will be able to use this efficient and sustainable mode of transport, and Siemens Mobility is pleased to be part of such a comprehensive and important project, which will enhance passenger service and experience,” said Michael Peter, CEO Siemens Mobility.
The scope of the project is as follows:
- Design, installation, delivery, control, testing, commissioning and documentation for a total of 15 rectifier stations, 28 network stations and a cable contract for fully operational installation.
- The rectifier station consists mainly of 36kV switchgear, rectifier units, DC switchgear 750V, control equipment and auxiliary power systems.
- The network station consists mainly of 36kV switchgear, transformer 33/0.42 kV and control system.
- The cable contract includes shafts and cable laying of 33 kV and 750V cable between Akalla and Barkarby.
- Functional responsibility for all components.
