Schneider Electric to supply BPLRT's new electrical distribution system

The firm will also replace the BPLRT’s power management system.

Multinational energy management and automation solutions provider Schneider Electric has been tapped by French rail infrastructures leader Colas Rail to supply the electrical distribution system for the Bukit Panjang LRT (BPLRT).

Schneider Electric will provide an end-to-end electrical distribution solution for the BPLRT, as well as replace its power management system with the firm’s Power SCADA Operation (PSO), which has been “specifically designed for large electrical distribution applications.”

“Our PSO platform is used globally with our experts having worked on similar projects such as Thailand’s Red Line Mass Transit System Project,” said Damien Dhellemmes, cluster president of Schneider Electric Singapore, Malaysia, and Brunei.

The Singapore Land Transport Authority contracted Colas Rail to replace the power supply assets for the BPLRT on 5 June.
