- Siemens Energy delivers another highly efficient combined cycle power plant to Marl
- Evonik replaces old backup gas power plant
- Siemens Financial Services arranges customized financing
Siemens Energy is building
another highly efficient combined cycle power plant for the specialty chemical
company Evonik at its largest industrial location in Marl, North
Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Consisting of one SGT-800 gas turbine, one SST-400
steam turbine, and two generators, the plant will produce power and heat with
90 megawatts of electrical capacity and 220 megawatts of thermal capacity. It
will go into operation in 2022 replacing a backup gas power plant. Along with
the power plant components, Siemens Energy is also supplying the SPPA-T3000
control system for controlling the cutting-edge plant. A long-term service
agreement between Siemens Energy and Evonik will ensure the availability of the
power plant and its components.
- NX offers unconstrained concept design sketching within the 3D environment to help increase productivity
- NX software, part of Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio, is a leading solution for building the most comprehensive digital twin
Siemens Digital Industries Software is announcing a new solution for capturing
concepts in 2D. The new NX™ Sketch software tool revolutionizes sketching
in CAD, which is an essential part of the design process. By changing the
underlying technology, users are now able to sketch without pre-defining
parameters, design intent and relationships. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to infer relationships on the fly, users can move away
from a paper hand sketch and truly create concept designs within NX™ software. This technology offers
significant flexibility in concept design sketching, and makes it easy to work
with imported data, allowing rapid design iteration on legacy data, and to work
with tens of thousands of curves within a single sketch. With these latest
enhancements to NX, Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio continues to bring together great technology, even within the core
of modelling techniques, helping remove the traditional barriers users have
experienced to dramatically improve productivity.
- Systems for charging at the depot and on-route
- Charging via on-board pantograph and contact hood with 100 and 450 kilowatts
- Integrated medium-voltage connection for space-saving installation
Siemens Smart Infrastructure will provide the charging infrastructure for 21 fully electric low-floor buses in Leipzig. VDL Bus & Coach received the associated contract from the Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe (LVB) GmbH, the public transport operator in Leipzig. The charging systems from Siemens will supply electrical energy to VDL buses on lines 74, 76 and 89 as well as at the Lindenau bus depot and are scheduled to go into operation in 2021. The electrification of local public transport is a major lever for sustainable urban planning. With its Mobility Strategy 2030, also the City of Leipzig aims to develop environmentally-friendly transport systems.

- Attica-Crete interconnection will ensure a more secure power supply and increase integration of renewable energy
- HVDC project will reduce half a million tons of CO2 emissions in first year of operation
- Total order volume for Siemens-led consortium €370 million
A consortium led by Siemens Gas and Power (Siemens Energy) has been awarded a turnkey contract for two converter stations for the Greek high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) link that will connect Crete, Greece’s largest and most populous island, with the mainland of Greece. The project will enable an exchange of electricity of up to 1,000 megawatts (MW) to enhance reliability of the power supply and facilitate integration of renewable energy sources in the power grid. Customer is Ariadne Interconnection S.P.S.A., a wholly owned entity of the Greek independent power transmission operator IPTO. Commissioning of the interconnector is scheduled for mid-2023. Total order volume for the consortium is €370 million.
- This new technology has been used in one of the biggest desalination plants in the Middle East to analyze, optimize and improve productivity, reducing operating times and finding faults early

- Siemens Mobility Mireo receives initial approval in just 38 months
- Start of operations for Mireo and Desiro HC in the Rhine Valley network planned for timetable change on June 14, 2020
In February 2017, the Ministry for Transport in the state of Baden-Württemberg ordered 24 Mireo trains and 15 Desiro HC double-decker trains to be operated by DB Regio. This marked the first order for the new Mireo regional multiple-unit trains developed by Siemens Mobility. The Mireo has received initial approval from the German Railway Authority in time for the timetable change in June 2020. Plans call for gradually incorporating the Mireo trains in regional service (RB) on the Offenburg – Freiburg – Basel/Neuenburg (Rhine) route beginning with the timetable change in June 2020.
