- One single device for lines of up to 500 km
- Monitoring for powered, unpowered or grounded lines
- Highly precise localization of line faults
- Simplifies maintenance and increases network reliability
Siemens Smart Infrastructure recently launched its new PowerLink CM, a condition monitoring solution for high-voltage AC and DC transmission lines. To ensure reliable power supply, optimize grid utilization and prevent blackouts the device is designed to precisely locate faults in the transmission grid and continuously track line conditions. One single PowerLink CM device is sufficient to monitor line lengths of up to 500 km. Faults as well as line condition can be detected in powered, unpowered or grounded lines. Fault reports are received by the affected substation and are forwarded from there to the control room. For continuous line monitoring, the device can be connected to MindSphere, the open cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) platform from Siemens, which facilitates transparent processing of all line data in the cloud. This allows grid operators to analyze status reports and optimize maintenance activities.

- Siemens and Hassan Allam Construction to build new control center located in Egypt’s New Administrative Capital
- Customer is Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company
- Latest software to monitor, manage and control extra-high voltage transmission networks and power generation plants across the country
- Contract worth more than EUR 45 Mio.
Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company has awarded a contract to the consortium consisting of Siemens Smart Infrastructure and Hassan Allam Construction to build the new National Energy Control Center in the New Administrative Capital of Egypt. The country’s new power grid control center will deploy advanced software and equipment to monitor, manage and control extra-high voltage (220 kV and 500 kV) transmission networks and power generation stations across Egypt. The necessary technologies will be included in the new control center for future grid expansion while maintaining secure energy supply, including intermittent renewable energy sources and storage. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2022.

- Contamination protection with flexible, scalable HVAC control solution
- Compliant with healthcare industry standards
- Easy installation and operation from anywhere
Siemens Smart Infrastructure (SI) has teamed up with Auto-Info to jointly develop a modular COVID-19 examination unit. The mobile lab structure and system have been designed to avoid contamination among patients or from patients to medical staff by using the Climatix IC platform, a flexible and scalable advanced HVAC control solution from Siemens.
- Declared intermediate target for CO2 reduction achieved
- Sustainability index embedded into Managing Board compensation system
- Innovative digital ESG tool provides basis for comprehensive review of
sustainability risks in customers’ business operations
- Top ratings in Dow Jones Sustainability Index, in particular for innovation,
environment and cybersecurity
Siemens has
achieved its declared intermediate target for carbon reduction. The company has reduced the carbon footprint
of its own value chain by more than half (54%) since 2014. Siemens has thus exceeded
– by four percentage points – its goal of halving its global carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions by
2020. Including Siemens Energy, the company has reduced its carbon emissions by
around 1.2 million tons of CO2 compared to its 2014 levels. Four
levers are being used to reduce carbon emissions: expanding the energy
efficiency program, using distributed energy systems, purchasing green power, and
reducing emissions in the vehicle fleet. Siemens intends to achieve climate
neutrality in its business operations by 2030. The company has recently published these details and other up-to-date information
on sustainability.
