- Accessible anytime and anywhere
- Direct access to online configurator and online purchasing
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has launched
its new selector application for protection devices as part of the service
portfolio for energy automation and protection. The Easy Relay Retrofit
Selector Application makes it easy for users to select a protection legacy
device or 3rd. party equipment for a new device or retrofit service. The app supports
all verticals in which protection devices are installed. The simple operation
does not require any expert knowledge on protection technology.
- Wolfgang Hesoun, CEO of Siemens Austria: “One-of-a-kind research project in Vienna provides solutions for climate protection that are unprecedented in Europe”
- ASCR’s objective: Development of market-oriented, scalable, and economical solutions for the energy future in urban areas
- Making the energy system more efficient and more climate-friendly
The European Green Deal is
the European Commission’s key project for the transition to a climate-neutral
and environmentally friendly economy. “The associated challenges for the
economy and society are significant. The key is clearly in the development of
our cities and the use of state-of-the-art technologies. In order to cover the
constantly rising energy needs, we therefore have to utilize all possible
technologies that reduce carbon dioxide,” stressed CEO of Siemens Austria Wolfgang
Hesoun, who expressed his gratitude that Siemens and the City of Vienna (Wien Energie, Wiener Netze, Wien 3420, and the
Vienna Business Agency) kicked off a research program that is the only one of its
kind in Europe, aimed at ushering in the energy future in urban areas, back in
2013.
- Storage enabled intelligent microgrid concept to accelerate decarbonization and significantly increase renewables share
- Energy storage system enables greater energy independence
- Frequency regulation increases Madeira’s grid resilience
- Plant to provide blackstart capability to the 60 kV level
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure, in partnership with Fluence, are working to help the Portuguese
island of Madeira gain greater energy independence and grid resilience using
renewable energy. Madeira’s energy provider, Empresa de Electricidade da
Madeira (EEM), awarded a Siemens and Fluence consortium a contract to install a
22,5 MVA / 15,6 MVh battery storage plant which will be integrated into an
islanded microgrid concept.
The project will enable
EEM to optimize its renewable energy integration, significantly contributing to
increasing the share of renewable power to around 50 percent in its energy mix.
As a result, the island can reduce its fuel consumption over the next two to
three years, while gaining
greater energy independence without
affecting energy quality or grid stability.

State-of-the-art train interiors
DB Regio Bayern and train manufacturer Siemens
Mobility will put a total of 57 new trains in service in Bavaria beginning in
December 2023. Twenty-six Desiro HC trains are currently being built for the
Franconia-South Thuringia network, along with 25 Desiro HC double-decker trains
and six Mireo trains for the Danube-Isar network. The 18 Desiro HC trains will
operate in the Franconia-South Thuringia network as four-car units beginning in
December 2023 and eight Desiro HC trains as six-car units in June 2024. They
travel almost as fast as the ICE, for example between Coburg and Erfurt at 190
kmh. In the Danube-Isar network, the 31 new trains will inaugurate service in
December 2024.
- ‘The power
reset’ now available on Amazon Prime Video in 3 countries
- Documentary narrates the story of Wunsiedel in Germany and the
positive impact of its energy transition on residents and the environment
‘The power reset: A town creating the
energy blueprint for the world’, a new documentary
film produced by Siemens, has just launched on Amazon Prime Video in the U.S.,
U.K. and Germany. The film narrates the story of Wunsiedel, a small town in the
German region of Bavaria, and its inspiring energy transition journey. The town
of around 10,000 people has successfully created a distributed energy system based
exclusively on renewable sources and enhanced with digital technology, making
it a lighthouse project for a sustainable energy future.

Climate-friendly
contract conditions are met: Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn (NEB) orders 31 battery-operated
trains from Siemens Mobility
-
The
environmentally friendly Mireo Plus B trains will run on all lines of the East
Brandenburg rail network
-
With
the launch of service in December 2024, battery-electric trains will be used
for the first time in the VBB network in Berlin and Brandenburg
The
Berlin-Brandenburg metropolitan area will get the first battery-electric,
emission-free regional trains in late 2024 along with an improved and expanded timetable.
To provide this service, Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn (NEB), which again won the
contract for the network early in June, has ordered 31 two-car,
battery-operated Mireo Plus B trains from Siemens Mobility. The federal states
of Berlin and Brandenburg are responsible for planning and financing regional
rail passenger service in the VBB region.
Cities account for roughly 80 percent of the energy consumed worldwide and generate roughly 75 percent of all carbon emissions. With more than two-thirds of the world’s population predicted to live in urban areas by 2050, cities are coming under increasing pressure. Digitally connected smart cities can help overcome some of the most pressing challenges of our time, including clean water, adequate waste removal as well as reduced pollution caused by buildings. The Expo 2020 Dubai site, with infrastructure connected by Siemens digital technology, provides a blueprint for smart cities globally. As the Premier Partner for Infrastructure Digitalization at Expo 2020 Dubai, Siemens has digitally linked more than 130 buildings at a purpose-built site twice the size of Monaco.

Enhanced
cybersecurity for guaranteed availability
Siemens Mobility and RazorSecure have signed a cooperation agreement to provide Rolling Stock operators worldwide with enhanced rail cybersecurity monitoring solutions. Increasing digitalization brings benefits, but also the need for adequate protection against cyber-attacks. The two companies will therefore pool their know-how to secure complex transport systems: RazorSecure is a specialist in providing rail cybersecurity solutions and continuously monitors the behavior of individual systems and traffic across the full network in real-time. Siemens Mobility is committed to guaranteeing availability of rail systems with its smart digital asset management systems such as Railigent.
- Westnetz GmbH expands Bekond substation with SF6-free 24 kV panel
- Climate-neutral insulation gas Clean Air to substitute fluorine gases
- User-friendly compatibility between existing plant and latest environmentally friendly technology from blue GIS portfolio
In cooperation with Siemens Smart Infrastructure, E.ON
subsidiary Westnetz, one of Germany's largest distribution grid operators, has expanded
its Bekond substation in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate with a fluorine
gas-free NXPLUS C 24 circuit-breaker panel. It is the
first panel of its type in the world to go into operation using Clean Air, the
climate-neutral insulation gas. This installation demonstrates the
functionality of fluorine gas-free solutions in grid operations and shows an
easy way to extend existing technology with the latest environmentally
friendly technology.
