Substations with the future built in

Digital technology really excels when it comes to the automation, monitoring, and protection of a substation. That's why Siemens digital substations offer considerable added value: they come with the future built in. Thanks to comprehensive IoT connectivity, the heart of the power supply also becomes the heart of energy data communication. Siemens digital substations enable greater business agility and increased operational efficiency. At the same time, they contribute to better grid availability and reliability as well as an optimized management of investments throughout the entire life cycle from planning to operation and maintenance.

Internet of Energy – Powered by MindSphere

The future energy system will be characterized by a high degree of distributed generation and bidirectional, constantly fluctuating energy flows that need to be managed. The Internet of Energy links power producers, power infrastructure operators, and consumers to master this difficult task.
Smart applications such as EnergyIP Analytics, EnergyIP DEOP for decentralized energy optimization, and SDM for substation device monitoring take full advantage of IoT connectivity and MindSphere, Siemens’ cloud-based, open IoT operating system. This way they provide the information required to coordinate supply and demand and to ensure grid stability and security of supply.

IoE-Connectivity for SIPROTEC and SICAM and related applications

SIPROTEC and SICAM products can be connected directly and easily to MindSphere and other cloud-based platforms by updating its communication firmware with the standardized OPC UA PubSub protocol. The transmitted product data are available in the cloud and can be analyzed and visualized via applications offered by the “Grid Diagnostic Suite - Powered by MindSphere”.

Local rebalancing

Intelligent, automated management and control mechanisms as well as reliable load and generation forecasts are essential for distribution grids in highly decentralized energy infrastructures. Siemens provides scalable systems to automate, display, and control all elements in grids that are increasingly challenged by the medium- and low- voltage infeed of power from intermittent renewable sources. Innovative solutions such as EnergyIP DEMS for the management of demand response and virtual power plants as well as trendsetting energy storage solutions help balance generation and load to maintain and enhance the reliability and availability of distribution grids.

Local rebalancing Intelligent grid automation – Self Optimizing Grid

Self Optimizing Grid is an innovative solution designed for distribution grids in a semi-decentralized approach. It allows remote operation and control of the stations to ensure high reliability of supply and improve system performance without investing in costly new assets. The solution integrates the intelligent automation functions, such as self healing, load management, automatic source transfer, overload reduction, and area voltage control, into a modular design. By analyzing the current grid status, the Self-Optimizing Grid offers the possibility of remotely restoring and optimizing the grid configuration.

Digital Services – next generation of overhead line inspection

SIEAERO – the next generation of overhead line inspection 

Siemens has launched a new service approach for overhead line inspection called "SIEAERO". For the first time artificial intelligence and a long-range un-manned aerial vehicle (UAV) are used to for the inspection of transmission lines. The UAV carries the SIEAERO high-end multi-sensor system which was specifically developed to meet the complex requirements of overhead line inspections. SIEAERO is using a unique high-resolution multi-sensor-system that can record all needed data in one go. Therefore, SIEAERO allows not only reducing the time for flight execution and data analysis from weeks or even months to a few days, but also delivers more precise results while using sensors way above industry standard.
