ABB makes Dubai Fountain energy efficient

ABB: Making Dubai Fountain more energy efficient.

Leading power and automation technology group ABB has ensured that the electrification of the Dubai Fountain, part of the Burj Khalifa complex, is as energy-efficient as possible.

ABB supplied air-insulated switchgears, dry-type Resibloc transformers, gas-insulated compact switchgear, power monitoring systems, 4200A LV MNS switchgear and other low-voltage panels.

“The ABB team worked together to ensure a high quality and fast delivery of the solution for this landmark project,” said Tarek El Gani, ABB local division manager for low voltage products in the Gulf.

“ABB’s products and solutions are ensuring the highest power quality and availability for the fountain, which thousands of residents and tourists enjoy every day.”

The contribution to the increased energy efficiency of the fountain is brought about by the capacitor banks and the harmonic filters.

The capacitor banks improve the power factor, decreasing the amount of reactive power consumed, while the harmonic filters improve the power quality by reducing the harmonics. This, in turn, helps to stabilise the entire power network.
