- Siemens Large Drives Applications (LDA) to deliver a high voltage (HV) motor with 105 MW and a 40 MW starting frequency converter for an energy storage project in China
- The motor will have an efficiency of beyond 98 percent
Siemens LDA has received an order from a Chinese customer to deliver a special machine with dual shaft extension. It can be used in motor operation with a power of 105 MW and as generator with up to 129 MVA in power generation mode. The motor will have an efficiency of beyond 98 percent and will be a world-leading 2-pole electric motor.
Beside the motor, the contract includes the delivery of a 40 MW Sinamics GL150 starting frequency converter. This LCI-converter (load commutated inverter) is designed for single-motor applications with variable and constant torque characteristics. As a result of the low switching losses and the low loss thyristor technology, the efficiency of the LCI converter is extremely high and lies at 99 percent.
- Focus on combining the real and the digital worlds
- IIoT: Data-based algorithms increase operational efficiency of plants
- Process optimization and modularization as the key to success
At the "Achema Pulse" live digital event, Siemens will be demonstrating how the combination of the real and the digital worlds empowers industrial companies to act in a versatile and sustainable manner. Companies in the process industry are facing urgent and rapidly changing challenges. The Covid-19 pandemic in particular has transformed demand patterns and global supply chains virtually overnight. At the same time, industry-specific regulations and standards are creating new framework conditions for production. Digitalization and automation are the levers for mastering these changes. Industrial IoT solutions can exploit the resulting data to secure a competitive advantage since the intelligent analysis, understanding and utilization of the data allows companies to adapt their processes faster to changing requirements. The Siemens Digital Enterprise portfolio makes this possible by combining the real world with the digital world, thus enabling solutions for simulation, virtual processes, remote access and connectivity as well as presenting service offerings for digital transformation. Thanks to the corresponding industry-specific know-how, individual sector requirements can be taken into account.

- Scalance MUM856-1 connects local industrial applications to public 5G, 4G, and 3G mobile wireless networks
- Router supports future-oriented applications such as remote access via public 5G networks or the connection of mobile devices such as automated guided vehicles in industry
- Robust version in IP65 housing for use outside the control cabinet
- Prototypes of Siemens 5G infrastructure for private networks already in use at several sites
The Scalance
MUM856-1 – the first industrial 5G router from Siemens – is available now. The
device connects local industrial applications to public 5G, 4G (LTE), and 3G
(UMTS) mobile wireless networks. The router can be used to remotely monitor and
service plants, machines, control elements, and other industrial devices via a public
5G network – flexibly and with high data rates. Demand for this type of
solution is growing in industry. In addition, the device can be integrated into
private 5G networks. The Scalance MUM856-1 therefore supports future-oriented
applications such as mobile robots in manufacturing, autonomous vehicles in
logistics or augmented reality applications for service technicians. Thanks to
a robust IP65 housing, the router can also be used outside the control cabinet,
for example under harsh conditions in production or in outdoor facilities in
the water industry.
Siemens has
announced its AI Anomaly Assistant Industrial App, which uses artificial
intelligence (AI) to detect anomalies in the process industry and assess their
business relevance. This gives companies new opportunities for the economical
optimization of their processes. The app analyzes process events that affect
parameters such as productivity, availability, and quality, and alerts the
plant operator to any anomalies. These events and anomalies are no longer
simply identified, but also scrutinized for their business relevance—an
assessment which was previously only possible based on previous experience.
To enable
the AI to detect and evaluate business-relevant anomalies, the machine-learning
algorithms are trained on the basis of process data and then concentrated to
determine which anomalies have an impact on the economic efficiency of the
plant. The plant operator themself then defines the further focus of the AI using
the app dashboard, where anomalies can be selected, evaluated and commented. This
evaluation phase is accompanied by several feedback loops, so that the plant
operator ends up with well-trained, focused AI that is able to evaluate
anomalies, based on the process data, for their business relevance. The AI
Anomaly Assistant app is installed either as a cloud application or within the
user's own infrastructure, for example on a Simatic Box PC or a virtual
machine. The cloud-based solution is particularly advantageous during the
training and evaluation phase, since it supports efficient collaboration
between data analysts and plant operators. In addition, it also allows the
results of anomaly detection to be combined with other services, such as
predictive asset management, as part of the Asset Performance Suite (APS).
