- Siemens circuit breaker is the first electrical safety product to use plastic components where fossil raw materials have been replaced by biomethane derived from recycled biowaste
- The material changeover in the SIRIUS 3RV2 circuit breaker production will reduce the emission of carbon dioxide equivalents by ~270 tons per year1
- SIRIUS 3RV2 is one of the first products covered by the recently launched Siemens EcoTech label
Siemens
Smart Infrastructure and BASF have today announced the first electrical safety product
to include components made from biomass-balanced plastics. Used across
industrial and infrastructure applications, Siemens SIRIUS 3RV2 circuit breaker
is now being manufactured using Ultramid® BMBcertTM
and Ultradur® BMBcertTM from BASF, where fossil
feedstock at the beginning of the value chain is replaced by biomethane derived
from renewable sources such as agricultural waste. Both materials offer the
same quality and performance as conventional plastics. The material changeover
in the SIRIUS 3RV2 circuit breaker production will reduce the emission of carbon
dioxide equivalents by ~270 tons per year1. Customers using these
products contribute to a circular economy towards a more sustainable future. &
- Gridscale X LV Management software empowers DSOs to take a holistic approach to unlocking grid flexibility at scale – from planning to operations
- Software acts as an intelligent “co-pilot”, providing step-by-step guidance to prevent low voltage grid instability, reducing outages by 30%
- Enables grid operators to operate the grid closer to its limits and digitalize faster and more efficiently
- Gridscale X LV Management is part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio
Today, Siemens unveils its latest Gridscale X offering, LV Management, at Eurelectric’s Power Summit. Embedded with crucial capabilities to actively control the low voltage grid, this represents the first step towards unlocking grid flexibility at scale across planning and operations. With additional insights and transparency over what is happening on the low voltage grid, operators can use the software as a “co-pilot,” helping them to deal with the increasing complexity and challenges related to low voltage grids.
