- Facilities in Baiji will power Iraq’s biggest refinery and deliver
electricity to thousands of homes in liberated areas
- Siemens equipment includes E-class gas turbines, substations and
generators
- Project is start of Phase 2 of Siemens’ Roadmap for Iraq and will be
completed 28 months after financial closing by Iraq’s government
Siemens
and Orascom Construction signed an agreement with Iraq’s Ministry of
Electricity to rebuild Baiji 1 and Baiji 2 power plants in northern Iraq. The
plants will have a combined generation capacity of 1.6 gigawatts (GW) when
completed and are a major step in Siemens’ roadmap for rebuilding Iraq's power
sector that has already added more than 700 megawatts to Iraq’s grid.
- Dynamic load flow control solution for grid stabilization and resilience
- UPFC PLUS controls load flow in milliseconds
- Facilitating the increasing integration of renewable energy
With its new Unified Power Flow Controller, called UPFC PLUS, Siemens Energy is expanding the options for grid stabilization. The UPFC PLUS will help system operators stabilize the grid by dynamically controlling the load flow in alternating-current grids. Easy to integrate into existing infrastructure, the UPFC PLUS improves the efficiency of today’s power grid while providing the grid stability and resilience required in the ever-changing energy landscape.
Siemens Gas and Power has entered into an
agreement with Total, a broad energy group, to advance new concepts for green liquified
natural gas (LNG) production. As part of the contract, Siemens Gas and Power is
conducting studies to explore a variety of possible
liquefaction and power generation plant designs, with the ultimate goal of decarbonizing
the production of LNG.
- Two SGT-400 gas turbine compression packages sold for U.S. pipeline service
Siemens Gas and Power was awarded a contract to supply two SGT-400 gas turbine compression packages for Midcoast Energy, LLC’s CJ Express pipeline expansion project in east Texas. WHC Energy Services, supported by Universal Pegasus International, will be the engineering, procurement and contracting (EPC) provider for the pipeline expansion project.
- Assesses the utility industry’s risk, readiness, and solutions to secure operational technology on the grid and recommends action to help utilities combat cyber threats
- Results show risk is worsening, with potential for severe financial, environmental and infrastructure damage
- 54 percent of those surveyed in the utilities industry expect an attack on critical infrastructure in the next 12 months
Siemens and the Ponemon Institute today released a new report
that assesses the global energy industry’s ability to meet the growing threat
of cyber attacks to utilities and critical infrastructure connected to the
electrical grid. The report –Caught in the Crosshairs: Are Utilities
Keeping Up with the Industrial Cyber Threat?– details the utility
industry’s vulnerability to cyber risk, readiness to address future attacks,
and provides solutions to help industry executives and managers better secure
critical infrastructure. The results of the report were released at a forum
hosted by the Atlantic Council in Washington, D.C. focused on the growing
national, economic, and energy security threat that cyber attacks pose to the
utility industry.
- New 900-megawatt (MW) combined cycle power plant to provide over eight percent of Alberta’s energy supply
- Siemens Energy to provide its state-of-the-art natural gas turbine technology and service
- Project designed to significantly reduce the province’s carbon footprint from energy
Futhering its commitment to decarbonizing the energy sector worldwide, Siemens Energy has been selected to provide its highly efficient gas turbine technology and long-term services to the planned 900 MW Cascade Power Plant in Alberta, Canada. The project supports the decarbonization of Alberta's power supply by switching from coal to natural gas. Once operational, the power plant is expected to reduce Alberta’s carbon emissions from energy production by up to five percent.

- Spin-off approved by 99.36 percent of capital stock represented
- Capital Market Day for Siemens
Energy planned for September 1, 2020
As expected,
a large majority of Siemens shareholders at today’s Extraordinary Shareholders’
Meeting voted to approve the spin-off of the company’s energy business to Siemens
Energy AG. This step paves the way for the establishment of an independent
company rigorously focused on the energy sector. In the future, Siemens AG will
concentrate on Digital Industries, Smart Infrastructure and Siemens Mobility. In total, 61.94 percent of the capital stock of Siemens AG entitled to vote was represented at
the shareholders’ meeting, which was held as a virtual event due to the coronavirus
crisis. Approval of the Spin-off and Transfer Agreement between Siemens AG and Siemens
Energy AG was the only item on the meeting agenda. The agreement was approved by a
majority of 99.36 percent of
the capital stock represented. The highest number of participants following the
Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting online was 3,870.
Siemens joined Gastech 2018, which took place in Barcelona, Sept. 17 – 20. In its 45th year, the world renowned event was a highly regarded gathering for upstream, midstream and downstream gas and LNG professionals. Siemens used the occasion to highlight its integrated Gas-to-Power (G2P) solutions, through which the company is playing an integral role in increasing utilization of natural gas—a highly abundant, cost-effective fuel—as a feed stock for power plants. Sessions featured Siemens speakers which are outlined below.
- Siemens will upgrade control and protection system of Moyle Interconnector
- Refurbishment increases security of supply, improves integration of renewable energy and enhances provision of ancillary services
Siemens Gas and Power (Siemens Energy) has been awarded the project to refurbish the Moyle Interconnector, a high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) link between Ballycronan More in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, and Auchencrosh, Scotland. Owned and operated by Mutual Energy, the Moyle Interconnector control and protection system is almost 20 years old and is being modernized to enhance its operation. The refurbishment of the 500-megawatt interconnector will increase the security and reliability of the power supply to consumers in the United Kingdom. The project to upgrade the technology originally installed by Siemens in 2001 is now underway and the refurbishment is scheduled to be completed in September 2022.
