ABB helps power the Burj Khalifa
Successful completion of a pilot project with ABB Ability™
United Arab Emirates
Challenge
Reduce routine time based maintenance costs and move towards predictive maintenance.
Solution
ABB solution gives the Burj Khalifa’s existing air circuit breakers a digital upgrade with ABB Ekip UP plug & play devices. These units connect the upgraded breakers directly to the ABB AbilityTM Electrical Distribution Control System, providing managers and service teams with real time data to achieve exceptional reliability and truly intelligent energy management strategies.
Outcome
The maintenance service installed at the Burj Khalifa can reduce operational costs by up to 30 percent by using real-time sensor data and condition monitoring, replacing routine maintenance work. However, the main benefit is the knowledge that everything is monitored in real-time by ABB Ability™.
