- Siemens Swinburne Energy Transition Hub aims to create the most advanced future energy grid laboratory of its kind in Australia accessible to students and industry
- 5.2 million AUD (3.4 million EUR) to be invested into Hub, set to open in late 2023
- Hub to leverage digital twin of Australia’s energy grid with Siemens software such as PSS E, PSS Sincal, Spectrum Power and Deop X
- Joint project between industry and research to accelerate path to net zero
Siemens
and Swinburne University of Technology have agreed to set up the most advanced
future Energy Transition Hub of its kind in Australia in at the University’s Hawthorn campus
in Melbourne. Featuring
some of the most advanced digital energy technology from Siemens and the
technical, R&D and teaching expertise of Swinburne, the $5.2 million Hub
aims to build a future energy grid laboratory accessible to students and
industry. When fully operational, the Hub will also offer researchers and
industry the opportunity to work on solutions for greener, more efficient
future energy systems using Siemens Xcelerator, a new open digital business
platform and marketplace.

- Pilot operation with climate-friendly battery-powered trains
- Record performance of powerful Mireo Plus B on topographically challenging Westerwald route
- Diesel trains to be replaced by eco-friendly battery trains
Hessische
Landesbahn has opted for three two-car Mireo Plus B battery trains from Siemens
Mobility for their Upper and Lower Westerwald railway pilot project. Both
routes in the Westerwald, with demanding gradients and long non-electrified
sections, require high-performance trains. With its high drive power, the Mireo
Plus B is ideally suited to meet this challenge. Battery-powered trains will
achieve substantial CO2 savings and reduce noise levels and exhaust
emissions in the region when they replace diesel trains.
Siemens and Skyway agreed to
work together to determine the electrical and digital infrastructure needed to
support vertiport operations. Vertiports are hubs for vertical take-off and
landing (VTOL) vehicles such as air taxis and drones. The scope of
collaboration involves both companies researching energy demands of vertiports
and developing sustainable electrical supply, standard charging processes, and
a “system of systems” to support aircraft operations. Innovation around
vertiport infrastructure will be critical to the future scalability of electric
vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) flight operations.
Siemens Mobility has received an order for 1,200 locomotives
