- Supply of six SGT-800 industrial gas turbines
- Increases grid reliability and flexibility
- Supports the transition to a new energy mix in Belarus
Siemens has received another order from Belarus to supply equipment for a peak load power plant. The order was placed by the state-run energy provider RUE Minskenergo. The six SGT-800 industrial gas turbines, like the five machines of the same type that Siemens is supplying for the Vitebsk region, will increase the grid’s reliability and flexibility and support the transition to a new energy mix in Belarus. Commissioning is scheduled for December 2021.
Effective
February 1, 2020, Michael Hagmann (53) will be responsible for setting up
Siemens Energy’s Investor Relations Department. He will report directly to
Michael Sen, designated CEO of Siemens Energy.
The
historical Siemensstadt will be transformed into a new working and living
environment. With Siemensstadt2, Siemens is planning to implement the largest
development project in its history.
- Jury’s decision for design by Berlin firm unanimous
- Clear urban development concept and new high-rise structure in center of Siemensstadt
- Historic location to be successfully transformed for the future
Siemens and the State of Berlin invited 18 architecture firms and urban planning teams to participate in the competition to redesign Siemensstadt (“Siemens City”), the company’s historic location in Berlin. After two days evaluating their proposals, the high-caliber jury has now reached a decision: “Siemensstadt 2.0 will be implemented on the basis of a design submitted by the Berlin firm Ortner & Ortner Baukunst,” said Stefan Behnisch, the distinguished architect who chaired the jury’s deliberations. “In the jury’s view, this design will provide a solid basis for the structure of the future Siemensstadt. It’s not the complete picture. It leaves room for necessary developments. It’s a design that treats the historical buildings with respect while enabling their up-to-date utilization. The design fulfills virtually all today’s requirements, but also leaves room for the future development of a new, modern city where people can both work and live,” he added.
- Siemens
industrial gas turbines will provide peaking power to help improve the
reliability and flexibility of the Belarusian power grid
Siemens will deliver the power generation equipment for two
new peaking power plants in the Republic of Belarus. The customer is the
state-owned utility company RUE Vitebskenergo. The new plants will be operated in
conjunction with the existing Lukomlskaya and Novopolotskaya power
plants in
the Vitebsk region in northern Belarus and will help ensure the
reliability and flexibility of the country’s power grid. The plants are expected to go into
operation in the end of 2021.
- Cooperation aims to test renewable fuels at the Rya CHP plant located in the energy port of Gothenburg
- First phase with Göteborg Energi is to validate 3D-printed burners at the Rya plant
By 2030, the ambition is that all district heating in Gothenburg, Sweden, will be produced by renewable or recovered energy sources. With this in mind Göteborg Energi and Siemens have come together in a cooperation agreement with the aim of testing state-of-the-art gas turbine technology that enables the operation of renewable fuels in the Rya combined heat and power (CHP) plant, which is today powered by natural gas.
- Digital solutions provide for improved operational efficiency and reduced emissions
Siemens will equip Lalitpur Power Generation Company Limited (LPGCL), a Bajaj Group company, with advanced digital solutions for its power plant located in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, India.
- Maximizing performance and efficiency with innovative drives solution
- Three power plants will be equipped with latest-generation power generation equipment
The current increase of packaging and pulp demand in the fiber industry is accompanied by numerous challenges, including fluctuating costs of energy and raw materials. Siemens energy-efficient concepts and solutions are designed to help the paper industry set new global standards for efficiency, performance, and sustainability. A recent example is a project in Germany, where Siemens will help paper and packaging producer Palm increase its plant efficiency by providing a holistic energy concept. This includes the electrification of a new paper-machine production line and a new power plant equipped with the latest-generation gas turbine.
- Contract awarded to Siemens for 2.2 megawatt PEM electrolysis plant
- Salzgitter Wind Hydrogen energy project gathers pace
- Goal is to achieve low-CO2 steelmaking based on Salzgitter’s innovative SALCOS technology concept
Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH (SZFG) has awarded the contract to build a 2.2 megawatt PEM electrolysis plant (PEM = Proton Exchange Membrane) to Siemens Gas and Power, marking an important step towards hydrogen-based steelmaking. The plant is due to commence operation in the 4th quarter of 2020 and cover SZFG’s entire current demand for hydrogen. The necessary electrical power will be generated by seven wind turbines with a capacity of 30 megawatt. These will be erected by Avacon AG on the Salzgitter Group site and will likewise enter service from 2020.
- Two new indoor GIS systems increase power and ensure reliable supply
for consumers
- Clean Air products ensure
much more climate-friendly operation
- Turnkey solution provides
key support for transition to a new energy mix
German transmission grid operator TransnetBW
has commissioned Siemens to build new switchgear in the 380 kilovolt (kV)
Daxlanden substation in Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg. Two new gas-insulated
indoor switchgear, initially with 26 panels, will boost the substation's
transmission capacity and cover the increased transport demand in the German
high-voltage grid as a result of the transition to a new energy mix. In the
future, it will thus be possible to transport large quantities of wind energy
from northern Germany to the southern part of the country. Replacing sulfur
hexafluoride (SF6) with treated air, so-called Clean Air, as the insulating
medium in the bus ducts simultaneously ensures much more climate-friendly
operation. The commissioning of the turnkey solution will take place in stages
and be completed in 2029. The order is priced in the low triple-digit millions
range.
