Singapore Gardens by the Bay
KIPO were appointed to design the power systems for the Singapore Gardens which included sustainable solutions such as biomass power generation, LED lights, solar PV and fuel cells. The project incorporated a 14MVA incoming power supply to the project delivered at 22kV and the design incorporated 11kV 1.6mW of Combined Heating & Power (CHP) with Biomass fuel and absorption chillers.
As the project involved a client owned 22kV network distribution system, an additional 4mW of standby diesel generation was utilised for emergency purposes for the development. The project also comprised of complex liaison with the Singapore Power Grid in terms of power quality, and Energy Centre management.
Our services and solutions included:
Heavy power designs that included both 22kV and 11kV distribution systems, with motorised breaker control, nine new distribution transformers and extensive LV switchgear designs
The parallel network schematic also showed the combination of turbine and diesel generation emergency power
Energy Centre and Cool - Moist and Dry Biome Plantroom sizing, riser designation and re-structuring, large containment, double line drawings, major cable routes
Extensive Photovoltaics with IGBT inverters and GA3/1 considerations
Lighting controls for facilities for the specialist lighting design incorporating lighting racks and energy saving measures
Emergency lighting and signage systems to BS 5266
Complete aspiration coverage to the Biomes as a means of fire detection. Aspiration points place within the Biome grid-shell
Fire control facilities, fire-persons telephones, sprinkler systems, pressure stairways and PAVE system
Small power systems with IP54 sockets in Moist Biome
Electrical facilities for the disabled, such as disabled toilet call, refuge intercom and deaf alert
Infrastructure, distribution systems, including IT communications, security access control, CCTV and mobile phone operators
IGBT (transformer less and filter-less) UPS system to an N+N system configuration serving security, critical systems, fire systems
Hot standby UPS also used on generators
