Siemens supports Spain’s Iberdrola with sustainable Clean Air switchgear
Siemens Smart Infrastructure installs its fluorine gas-free, medium-voltage switchgear NXPLUS C 24 blue GIS at Iberdrola. The climate-friendly insulating gas Clean Air with a global warming potential <1 replaces harmful fluorine gases and consists exclusively of natural components of ambient air. The power distribution solution enhances sustainability and climate protection for Spanish utility Iberdrola.
“With our latest blue GIS portfolio, we are supporting Iberdrola
in implementing its sustainability strategy while contributing to the energy
transition in Spain,” said
Stephan May, CEO of the Electrification and Automation Business Unit at Siemens
Smart Infrastructure. “At
Siemens, we create purpose-driven technologies designed to enable our customers
to achieve their business and sustainability goals.”
The Merindades substation, which supplies power to the
industrial area of Villarcayo in Burgos, is equipped with fluorine gas-free
Siemens NXPLUS C 24 medium-voltage switchgear. The 24 kV, 25 kA, 1250 A
switchgear with Clean Air technology is part of the new climate-friendly blue
GIS portfolio from Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
This innovation not only eliminates SF6 as an insulation
medium, but any gas mixture based on fluorine. Instead, Siemens uses the
insulation gas Clean Air, which consists exclusively of natural elements from
the ambient air and has a global warming potential of less than one. NXPLUS C
24 retains the proven benefits of gas-insulated switchgear, such as simple and
safe handling during operation and a compact size. In addition, the environmentally-friendly
systems offer straightforward end-of-life recycling.
