As part of the project, ABB will be responsible for design engineering, supply, erection, commissioning and start-up of the substations and civil works.
One of the seven new substations will also be equipped with a 40MJ energy storage system based on double-layer super-capacitors, which will tap braking energy from the metro cars.
ABB will also provide a network management system that will integrate with the existing metro line 1 management system.
The Warsaw metro line 2, connecting the eastern and western parts of the Polish capital, is under construction and due for completion in 2013.
