is suitable for applications in intralogistics and airports as well as in the
automotive and food & beverage industries and is available in the power
ranges 0.37 to 7.5 kilowatts for wall mounting and 0.37 to 4 kilowatts for
motor mounting. The drive system can be put into operation quickly and easily
with comprehensive integration into the TIA (Totally Integrated Automation)
portal including the Startdrive commissioning software, or the Sinamics G120 Smart
Access Module (SAM) web server tool for setup and diagnostics. To be prepared
for the digital transformation and to enable cloud-based analyses, Sinamics
G115D is integrated into the entire MindConnect portfolio and is compatible
with Mindsphere applications such as Analyze MyDrives.

- Sale for price of €2.025 billion
- Another step in executing Vision
2020+ strategy for becoming a focused technology company
- New ownership structure offers Flender
optimal growth and development opportunities
- Long-term and reliable commitments agreed
upon for Flender’s employees and German locations
The Managing
Board and Supervisory Board of Siemens AG have approved the sale of Flender GmbH
– a world-leading supplier of mechanical and electrical drive systems – to Carlyle.
The contracting parties signed a corresponding agreement today. The price is €2.025 billion (enterprise value). Siemens
recently gave its energy business independence through a public listing. By
selling Flender, the company is now promptly taking another important step in
the rigorous execution of its Vision 2020+ strategy for enabling Siemens
to become a focused technology company. Carlyle’s plans – following Flender’s successful
reorientation – are to further accelerate its growth and fully develop its
strengths through more independence and greater leeway for decisions. The sale also
makes it possible to forgo the originally planned spin-off and public listing
and thus offers a faster track to clarity for a successful future of Flender. The
transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2021 and is subject to
foreign-investment and antitrust approvals.

As part of the pebbles research project,
Siemens, the regional utility Allgäuer Überlandwerk (AÜW) and their project
partners are developing a local electricity market using blockchain technology.
Today, the parties launched pebbles’ electricity trading platform, bringing
them one step closer to creating the first local marketplace for optimized
electricity trading based on blockchain. The platform will be utilized in in
the town of Wildpoldsried in the Bavarian Allgäu region of Germany. Now, during
the platform’s demonstration phase, private producers can use an app to market
their electricity directly to local consumers without going through marketers
or traditional grid operators. The market platform also supports flexible power
from battery storage or controllable loads such as heat pumps or charging
stations for electric vehicles. The blockchain technology, which forms the
basis for managing market transactions, is designed to create end-to-end
transparency and trust between users.
- Siemens and Netze BW cooperating on multi-year field test
- First distribution substation with innovative blue GIS 24 kV ring main unit live in Oberallgäu
- Fluorine gas-free Clean Air switchgear and bio-ester transformer boost sustainability
In conjunction with their ongoing research
cooperation, Siemens Smart Infrastructure and Netze BW GmbH, headquartered in
Stuttgart, have co-developed an intelligent and environmentally-friendly distribution
substation. For the first time, the new station combines the F-gas-free 24
kilovolt (kV) ring main unit (RMU) from the Siemens blue GIS portfolio with a
630 kilovolt-ampere (kVA) distribution grid transformer. Instead of mineral
oil, the Eco Design 2-certified transformer uses fully biodegradable, natural
bio-ester oil for insulation. The integrated automation system from the Siemens’
Sicam portfolio is designed for the special requirements of distributed grids
and enables reliable monitoring and control of the grid. The innovative
substation, which will connect the medium-voltage distribution grid and the
low-voltage local grid in the town of Kreuzthal in the Oberallgäu region, is now
being tested under real-life conditions.
