Biographies and images of all of the spokespeople who you heard from on the event are included as well.
- Ultra-fast, multifunctional, parametrizable, and sustainable
- Up to 1,000 times faster, plus wear-free switching
- Multiple functions in one device; each can be adjusted individually
- Up to 80 percent less space required in distribution board, compared to
conventional solutions
Siemens has developed one of the world’s most
innovative circuit protection devices with cutting-edge electronic switching technology.
SENTRON ECPD (Electronic Circuit Protection Device) electronically switches off
circuit faults if errors occur and, if necessary, trips the mechanical
isolating contact downstream. Up to now, disconnection was handled purely
through electro-mechanical elements. “This innovation offers a variety of
benefits and has the potential to revolutionize today’s circuit protection world,”
said Andreas Matthé, CEO of Electrical Products at Siemens Smart
Infrastructure.

- Gridscale X Network Model Manager enables better grid planning, operations and maintenance for ISOs and TSOs with a Digital Twin
- The software is cloud ready as well as fully accessible via APIs, and comes with a modular architecture and cutting-edge user interface
- Gridscale X Network Model Manager is the next generation of Siemens’ network model management offerings and part of Siemens Xcelerator
Siemens has announced the launch of new Gridscale X software with the release of a Gridscale X Network Model Manager in the US and Canada. The product allows ISOs (independent system operators) and TSOs (transmission system operators) to centrally manage their network data with a Digital Twin of the power grid for more efficient planning, development and operations.
- First
agreement includes an order for 30 Vectron locomotives and an option for a
further 60 Vectrons
- Second
agreement includes an order for 10 Smartron locomotives
- Sustainable
and efficient cross-border rail transport in Europe
Cargounit, the largest independent locomotive leasing
company in Poland, has signed an agreement with Siemens Mobility for the
purchase of 90 Vectron MS locomotives, of which 30 have been immediately called
up. Additionally, a second contract was signed for the delivery of ten Smartron
locomotives. The first deliveries are planned for 2025. Siemens Mobility and Cargounit's
collaboration dates back to 2018, when a single Vectron MS locomotive was
purchased. Cargounit is the largest customer for Siemens Mobility locomotives
in Poland. With this new order, the company will have a total of 66 Vectrons
and 18 Smartrons in its fleet.
- Gridscale X™ software enables utilities to scale grid capacity and increase
DER visibility, essential for grid decarbonization
- With Gridscale X, grid operators can accelerate their digital transformation
in the planning, operations, and maintenance phase
- Gridscale X is part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, complemented by
its extensive and open partner ecosystem
Siemens has announced the launch of Gridscale X, paving the way towards the vision of
autonomous grid management, accelerating digital transformation for grid operators at
speed and scale.
- Siemens’ next generation grid management software, Gridscale X™ DER Insights, supports goal to achieve net-zero emissions in the US by 2050
- The software provides better visibility of behind the meter distributed energy resources (DERs) and their impact on the grid
- These insights are critical for better grid planning and asset health, and
ensuring the success of customer programs
- Gridscale X DER Insights is part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio
Siemens has announced its latest Gridscale X software offering enabling distribution utilities
to gain better visibility and insights of distributed energy resources (DERs) behind the meter
to increase grid capacity. With the rising number of DERs, this causes operational
challenges for distribution networks not originally designed to operate with these resources.
Gaining insights into where they are and how DERs are operating is a critical first step in
addressing the problems and subsequently taking advantage of these resources for grid
optimization.
- Siemens highlights key opportunities to drive sustainable impact at scale and speed across multiple industries with new products and partnership agreements
- Showcase identifies the critical role of technology in enabling more sustainable infrastructure
- Display includes latest additions to Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital business platform to accelerate digital transformation and value creation
At Light + Building 2024, Siemens
Smart Infrastructure will shine a spotlight on the innovative products, software and services, as
well as the collaborations needed to drive true sustainability impact for
customers and societies.
- First call for 70 Vectron locomotives
- Cross-border transport without changing locomotives
- Service in up to 16 countries
Railpool,
one of the leading rail vehicle rental companies in Europe, and Siemens
Mobility have concluded a framework agreement for the delivery of up to 250
locomotives. With the signing of the contract, 70 Vectron locomotives were
immediately called up. The initial call includes 24 multisystem locomotives for
use in AC and DC networks, as well as 46 AC locomotives. With this order, Railpool's
Vectron fleet will grow to a total of 228 locomotives. The framework agreement
includes Vectron variants that can operate in up to 16 countries and on various
European rail corridors (north-south and east-west).
- Siemens provides sustainable heating, cooling and ventilation solutions and thus, supports partners and customers in the decarbonization of buildings
- One of the highlights will include an energy efficient magnetic expansion valve, with which OEMs can gain up to 21% more heating capacity
- Also being showcased is a heat pump automation system as part of Siemens Xcelerator
At this year's Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (MCE) trade show, Siemens Smart Infrastructure will present a broad range of innovative and sustainable products, systems, and solutions for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and installers to accelerate the decarbonization of real-estate. The global marketplace and event, that takes place from March 12 to 15 in Milan, Italy, brings together companies and industry experts from the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR), renewable energy sources and energy efficiency fields.
