- Increased power density and user-friendliness through easy handling
- Plug and play installation and rapid replacement of individual modules
- Increase in redundancy and degradation rates for fuel cell plants
Building on the success of the previous BZM34 and BZM120 fuel cell modules, Siemens aims to optimize the power density and user-friendliness of fuel cell plants on board of air-independent underwater vehicles with its new BZM evo fuel cell module. A single BZM evo has a nominal power of 40 kW. Future plants will be able to provide a maximum power of 320 – 480 kW, depending on the selected type of installation and number of fuel cell modules, without exceeding the footprint of an existing BZM34 or BZM120 plant.
Under the banner "Innovate. Digitalize now. SmartMining." Siemens is presenting the implementation of digital mining at this year's bauma, the world's leading trade fair for construction machinery.

- Siemens’ lightning information
service detected about 446,000 strokes of lightning in Germany in 2018 – 3,000
more than in 2017
- Germany’s “lightning capital” was
Schweinfurt, which also headed the list in 2014
- The fewest strikes in Kiel, Potsdam,
Schwerin and the Lüchow-Dannenberg district
- Saarland the German state with the
most lightning activity in 2018, Saarbrücken the leader among state capitals
- The most lightning strikes in 2018
on June 1
- At European level, Croatia tops the ranking
in Siemens’ 2018 lightning atlas
The Lower
Franconian city of Schweinfurt was Germany’s “lightning capital” in 2018,
succeeding the Upper Bavarian district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, which topped
the list in 2017. Siemens’ lightning information service BLIDS (which stands
for
Blitz-Informationsdienst von Siemens) detected 5.0 lightning strikes
per square kilometer in Schweinfurt in 2018. The districts of
Rheinisch-Bergisch in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and Weilheim-Schongau
in Upper Bavaria took second and third places with 4.0 and 3.7 ground flashes
per square kilometer, respectively. Germany’s lowest concentration of lightning
strikes was in the cities of Kiel, Potsdam and Schwerin and in the Lüchow-Dannenberg
district (0.2). With lightning striking 3.0 times per square kilometer,
Saarbrücken led the country’s list of state capitals in 2018. Saarland was the
state registering the most lightning strikes detected per square kilometer,
while Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was the state with the fewest. Overall, at 446,000,
BLIDS again registered a comparatively low level of atmospheric discharges in
Germany – although 2017’s level and 2016’s record low level of some 432,000 strikes
were exceeded by 3.2 percent.
