ABB powers Noida International Airport with smart automation and energy systems!

ABB has deployed advanced power distribution and water management automation systems at Noida International Airport, supporting the launch of one of India’s most ambitious infrastructure projects. The airport is set to begin operations in April 2026 with a single runway and an initial capacity of 12 million passengers annually.

Designed as a next-generation aviation hub, the airport requires highly reliable, energy-efficient and scalable infrastructure to manage complex operations. ABB’s integrated solutions will support a wide range of systems, including terminal services, airfield operations, passenger movement, baggage handling, ventilation, safety and water management.

A key component of the deployment is ABB’s intelligent power distribution system, built to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply across critical airport operations. At the core of this system is the 33kV Gas Insulated Switchgear ZX2, which enables safe and efficient power distribution from the main receiving substation. This technology is designed to minimize downtime risks and ensure operational continuity in a high-demand environment like an international airport.

In addition, ABB has supplied low-voltage panels and distribution boards that enhance electrical safety and reliability. These systems support essential infrastructure such as lighting, ventilation, smoke exhaust, transportation systems and energy management. By ensuring consistent power delivery, ABB’s solutions help maintain seamless airport operations and improve overall efficiency.

Beyond power infrastructure, ABB has also implemented advanced automation systems for water and wastewater management. Using AC500 PLC and SCADA-based technologies, the system enables real-time monitoring, leak detection, water quality control and remote management. These capabilities are critical for optimizing water usage, reducing freshwater consumption and promoting recycling—key priorities for sustainable airport operations.

The automation-driven approach allows airport operators to manage resources more efficiently while maintaining high standards of safety and reliability. It also supports long-term scalability, ensuring that the infrastructure can accommodate future expansion plans.
