- Memorandum of Understanding for joint holistic hydrogen system for rail
- Siemens Energy and Siemens Mobility decarbonize the mobility sector
Siemens Energy and Siemens Mobility have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop and offer hydrogen systems for trains. The agreement was signed by Albrecht Neumann, CEO of Rolling Stock at Siemens Mobility and Armin Schnettler, Executive Vice President (EVP) of New Energy Business at Siemens Energy. The project aims at jointly developing holistic hydrogen solutions for rail transport and offering them to customers to promote the hydrogen economy in Germany and Europe and support decarbonization in the mobility sector.
- Valley Metro orders 14 additional light rail vehicles from Siemens Mobility
- Improved availability and enhanced passenger experience
The Valley Metro Regional Public Transportation Authority has ordered 14 S700 light rail vehicles (LRV) from Siemens Mobility. The new trains will operate in Phoenix, Arizona, in the U.S. They will be built at the Siemens Mobility facility in Sacramento, California. Valley Metro previously ordered 11 light rail trains from Siemens Mobility in 2017.
- Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) signaling system to be installed on 24km of elevated Jurong Region Line in Singapore
- Half-height Platform Screen Doors to be installed at 24 stations throughout line
- The intelligent infrastructure will provide greater availability, enhanced operations, and will improve passenger experience
Siemens Mobility has been awarded a contract of approximately 135 million Euros by the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) to install an automatic train control signaling system and half-height platform screen doors on the Jurong Region Line (JRL). Siemens Mobility will utilize its Trainguard Sirius solution and modern interlocking product Westrace to implement a Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) signaling system across the entire 24 kilometers of track. In addition, Siemens Mobility will install platform screen doors at the 24 stations being built, which will support the GoA 4 automation of the line and allow for full unattended/automatic train operation. The project has been designed by an international team of Siemens Mobility in Singapore and Spain.
- Siemens Energy Corporate Center in Berlin
- Joint location and structural concept planned with the State of Berlin
- Company's administrative
headquarters remain in Bavaria
Siemens Energy, as a stand-alone company,
will locate its Corporate Center in Berlin. The energy technology company with
worldwide 91,000 employees, which in 2019 generated revenue of €28.8 billion,
is thus returning to its roots: Werner von Siemens and Johann Georg Halske
founded their company in Berlin in 1847 and with the discovery of the
electrodynamic principle in 1866 laid a foundation for today's Siemens Group
and therefore today's Siemens Energy.
- SF6-free high-voltage switchgear and ester-filled transformer complete demo project, delivering an integrated clean energy solution for China
- First implementation of Siemens Energy’s 66 kV technologies for wind turbine applications in China
Siemens Energy commissioned an eco-friendly power transmission system complementing one of China’s largest offshore eight-megawatt (MW) wind turbines. The system consists of a SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride)-free gas-insulated high-voltage switchgear (GIS) called 8VM1 Blue GIS® and a liquid-immersed distribution transformer with ester fluid. It is part of a demo project by Shanghai Electric, located at Shantou Haojiang onshore Industrial Park on the east coast of Guangdong, South China.
- Early delivery of three locomotives to Danish State Railways DSB
- Vectron approved in 20 countries
On September 15, 2020, the AC version of the Vectron locomotive received official approval from the Danish safety authority “Trafik-, Bygge og Boligstyrelsen” for operating in Denmark. The approval marks an important milestone for the commissioning of 42 Vectron locomotives ordered by Danish State Railways (DSB) from Siemens Mobility over the last two years. The first three locomotives will be delivered in September 2020.
- 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.
- Evonik and Siemens Energy put pilot plant into operations
- Artificial photosynthesis closes carbon dioxide cycle
- The Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding the various project stages with more than €6 millionund Siemens Energy nehmen Versuchsanlage in Betrieb
Evonik
and Siemens Energy today commissioned a pilot plant sponsored by the German
Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) that uses carbon dioxide and
water to produce chemicals. The necessary energy is supplied by electricity
from renewable sources. The pilot plant is located in Marl, in the northern
Ruhr area, and its innovative technology of artificial photosynthesis should
contribute to the success of the energy revolution. It is an essential part of
the Rheticus I and II research projects, which are sponsored by the Federal
Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with a total of 6.3 million euros.
- 150MW simple cycle power plant
for Saidpur, Rangpur as part of the country’s utility expansion in power
generation
- Siemens Energy is supplying
components that will aid the plant’s optimal fuel usage in full and part load
operation for long-term sustainability towards the direction of clean energy
A new energy future
beckons for the developing northern region of Bangladesh thanks to a new 150MW
simple cycle power plant to be built in Saidpur, Rangpur. Global energy
technology company Siemens Energy is helping with this sustainable transition
after winning the project during the retendering phase, which will see it
supply components that will contribute to the optimal fuel usage in full and
part load operation.
